So why would you want to remove a tree anyway?  As a tree service| tree removal is a lot of what we do.  We love our job but we always want to remove trees for the right reasons. Below is a list of the most common reasons for tree removal in Westtown NY.

Dead| Dying| Diseased Trees:  One of the most popular reasons for tree removal is that the tree is dead| dying| and diseased.  This is also the most justifiable reason to for tree removal.  The tree is dead or near death and needs to be removed before it becomes a hazard to people and structures around it. (See Liability Issues below)

Storm Damaged or Injured Trees: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to have each and every tree that has likely lost a large limb looked at by a tree professional who should do a risk evaluation on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees provide reduces cooling expenditures in the summer and provides a buffer from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Occasionally when a tree is very near to a property we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just opt for a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or hire a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their overall size trees can overshadow small plants. Property owners ought to pick bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well under a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunshine. Although it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may consult a landscape company about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the right location can easily boost a homes resale value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Often times we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. However at times to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not inhabit the same area. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Oftentimes in these scenarios tree removal is the only solution and if you are feeling depressed about extracting your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it will not mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyers but here is the way in which falling trees are usually translated based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree falling. You dispose of the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a provision pointing out that these companies are exempt for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the amount of calls we get searching for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters at all. Blocked downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes them to rot. So that requires you to install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Alternatively clean them yearly shortly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy night-times due to a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to make sure a tree will never fall on the house is to take out all big trees within close quarters. It can be downright costly to remove a great deal of trees near your Westtown NY property and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears could be appeased by having a tree service pro inspect the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree needs to be removed you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a new native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest area within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
