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 take any tree that has likely lost a substantial limb examined by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees provide lowers cooling expenditures in the summer and provides a buffer from the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Often if a tree is too close to a property we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be removed it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just simply pick out a more suitable location.

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

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their overall size trees can overshadow small plants. House owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs which will tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well under a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full direct sunlight. Whilst it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might consult a landscape expert about switching to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the appropriate location can easily boost a homes worth the wrong tree can damage a home’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a building 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. Having said that sometimes to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not inhabit the same area. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these instances tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling down about removing your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it does not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s children can take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are not legal professionals but here is how falling trees are commonly interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You dispose of the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause stating that they are not responsible 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 clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the 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 home you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many property owners who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of calls we get looking for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced kind I know typically aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters at all. Clogged up downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes these to rot. So that requires you to install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Otherwise clean them yearly shortly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We often times remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times because of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree will never fall on the house is to remove all big trees inside of close quarters. It may be expensive to remove a load of trees near your Westtown NY residential property and often this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears could be soothed by having a tree service professional assess the trees to ensure none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just simply plant a new native tree at a far better location on your estate and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still want 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 choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few planted in a non harvest site within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
