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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to have any tree that has definitely lost a large limb inspected by a tree professional that may do a risk evaluation on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees provide decreases cooling expenditures in the summertime and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees close to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

Sometimes whenever a tree is very near to a house we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply pick a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to conduct some research or hire a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their scale trees can dominate much smaller plants. Home-owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sunlight. Although it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you may seek advice from a landscape professional about switching to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the appropriate location can easily increase a property’s market value the inappropriate tree can hurt property’s value. Often we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However sometimes to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not really inhabit the very same site. This is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these situations tree removal is the sole choice and if you are really feeling depressed about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it may not mature in our life-time our children or someone else’s kids can take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyers however this is how falling trees are ordinarily 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 remove the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable for tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a stipulation saying that these companies are not responsible for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many homeowners that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of calls we get seeking out a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced kind I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Congested downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes these to rot. So that requires you to put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Or else clean them yearly soon 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 times remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery nights as a result of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the sole way to make certain a tree will never fall on the home is to take out all big trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a load of trees near your Westtown NY home and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears can be soothed by having a tree service pro assess the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree requires to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just plant a brand-new native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest location within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
