3 Motives Behind Tree Removal By A I Johnson The first stage of any tree removal endeavor is ensuring that removal is the most suitable option given the situation. Trees that are unstable as a result of awkward growth patterns or storm damage can often be salvaged through the employment of professional tree cabling and bracing techniques. An experienced tree service expert can determine whether a particular tree can be salvaged or if removal is the best option. Here we examine some of the common reasons trees are removed: -Disease. Tree disease can stem from a range of external causes, some living and some non-living. Though disease is a common reason for tree removal, trees with disease do not necessarily have to be removed. A tree service expert can determine whether a diseased tree can be treated. Accurate diagnosis is key to determining whether tree removal is necessary. -Death. Trees, like us, have life cycles during which they grow, mature and eventually die. For some types of trees, the expected life span is fifteen or twenty years, while others endure for thousands of years. A tree may complete its life cycle and die, or it may encounter premature death as a result of a disease, fire, an ice storm, hurricane, or other external influence. Dead trees will eventually deteriorate, and can present a hazard if they are not removed. -Threat to property. A tree's vast network of roots often consumes a lot of underground space. If the tree is located nearby a home or other building, its root system can be a threat to the foundation of the structure. Roots may cause pressure that affect the building directly, or they can create unevenness in the soil's moisture level that causes disproportionate settling of the foundation. Trees contributing to such problems may be removed to avoid structural repairs to the building. -Landscaping. Sometimes an otherwise healthy tree is removed because a property owner desires new landscaping. In this case, another option is to consider the feasibility of transplanting the tree to a more desirable location. Before attempting any tree removal project, be sure to familiarize yourself with any regulations and guidelines set forth by your city or local

4 community regarding tree removal and adhere to them entirely. For example, on a single family residential property in Austin, Texas, a permit is required to remove a tree with a circumference greater than 59.5 inches as measured at 4.5 feet from the ground. Because of the hazards involved and potential legal implications, tree removal is safest and most effective when it is performed by qualified experts. Andrew Johnson is the owner of Central Texas Tree Care, a leading Austin Texas tree service provider in Central Texas (Travis County and surrounding areas). Central Texas Tree Care offers services such as pruning and removals, cabling and bracing as well as arborist reports, diagnostics, pest management and fertilization.

5 Emergency Tree Removal By Sean Lewett It is a fact, hazardous weather conditions can cause trees to fall and create extremely dangerous situations. For this reason, declining trees that cannot be saved or dead trees in close proximity to residential properties should be removed before a windy storm can potentially knock them down. Every year, a significant number of trees fall on houses, automobiles, buildings, structures, power lines, etc. Many homeowners who face the unfortunate occurrence of a tree that has fallen and damaged their property are frantic and unaware of what to do. They think, hm... Is this covered by my insurance company? Is this my neighbor's tree or my own? If my tree falls into my neighbor's yard, am I responsible and liable for the damage? What about damage to my own property - am I covered? Is a local tree service available immediately to remove the large tree that fell on my house? How long will it take to fix the whole in my roof? Who is responsible for fixing the whole in my roof, and at whose expense? These are all very good and common questions that arise during an emergency situation. In most cases, it is an insurance company that is responsible for footing the bill for emergency tree removal. That is, if a tree falls on a structure such as a house, shed, fence, or car. This is generally when a home owner should contact their insurance company for help. Insurance companies have preferred vendor lists of local tree companies to provide the home owner. The home owner will call to obtain a free estimate to perform the work. In some cases when a tree falls on a house, an insurance company will provide the homeowner with a general contractor who is responsible for handling all aspects of repair, including finding a tree service. In some cases, if a home is located in an HOA, the association representative will handle the situation. Most of the time, this burden falls on a homeowner them self, and usually the tree company who responds the soonest and has the ability to perform the job the quickest are awarded with the task. Often, if a tree falls onto the roof of a house, a crane is required to help perform the removal. Tree companies with a fully staffed crane operator and their own crane are best suited for this type of tree removal.

6 If a tree falls through a house, the job is usually performed within hours of the occurrence, unless it is pouring down rain at 3am when it is dark outside. In this case, a tarp is usually put on the home, or the part of the house that was damaged is blocked off for the night until daylight. The estimate and emergency tree job is then completed when the sun rises that morning. It is much safer to perform emergency tree removals during daylight hours. There are many emergency tree removal scenarios, and local tree removal companies are immediately available for the customer. Once a fallen tree is removed from a house, a contractor will fix and enclose the whole in the roof. Fixing the whole in the roof is completed by different contractor, and is separate from the tree removal. So what if it was my neighbor's tree that fell onto my house, then who is responsible? This can be a dicey situation since neighbors want to keep a good relationship with each other. Technically, any part of a tree that has fallen on a persons property, it is that individuals responsibility. Therefore, it does not matter who's tree it originally was when standing. There is one scenario that your neighbor could be responsible if it was originally their tree to begin with. That is if the neighbor was negligent and denied or rejected to remove a hazardous tree from their property after being told by someone. Then the burden can possibly fall onto them. The property that a fallen tree lays on generally determines who is responsible for cleanup. To perform an operation as complicated as emergency tree work, tree services must have the appropriate expertise and equipment. There have been many times when large storms sweep through the DC metropolitan area and caused major tree damage. It is known that the tree service industry is one of the most dangerous in the world. Hiring a licensed, and fully insured professional tree service is an absolute necessity. Lives are lost, and major injuries occur every day in the tree service business. It is a priority to hire a reputable, experienced, and well equipped company that can get the work completed safely. JL Tree Service - Tree Removal Article Source:

9 Why Hire A Tree Removal Service? By Gary Randall Homes with landscaping that includes trees can be among the most beautiful in a neighborhood. Many yards feature several types of trees that create a varied landscape that creates interest and visual appeal. Like most living things, trees used for landscaping continue to grow, and in some cases, trees become too large and must be removed. Some trees are prone to disease, which necessitates removal. In other cases, a homeowner may simply not enjoy the look of certain trees as part of their landscape anymore and want to remove them. No matter why you need to remove a tree from your yard, you will want to hire a professional tree removal service to complete the task. Homeowners who try to tackle the chore of removing a tree by themselves often find that they are rapidly overwhelmed by the task. Not only can the removal be very difficult, it can be extremely dangerous for people who are not experienced in the process. The larger the tree you want to remove is, the more hazardous removing it becomes. Hiring a tree service to take down trees in your yard can provide peace of mind in knowing that the job is done correctly and safely. Typical services include pruning, trimming, and partial removal of trees to correct safety issues posed by trees that have overgrown roofs or are encroaching on sewage lines. Limbs that hang over roofs, particularly if they become diseased- pose a significant risk of damaging the roof if they fall during wind storms. Tree removal services can also provide cleanup after the removal, which helps take care of the mess that can be left behind from trimming or when branches are broken off. Many tree service companies will also be willing to provide firewood, so if you have a fireplace, you may want to consider contacting tree removal services to purchase wood. Before you hire a tree removal service, there are some things you need to ask to ensure that you are hiring a professional company. Start by asking if the company holds a license, and ask to see a copy of the license. You will then want to ask whether the service holds insurance that protects both employees and your home in case of accidents. When they arrive, make sure to check both the license and insurance to make sure you are protected since a homeowner can be held liable for accidents on their property if the company is not properly licensed and insured.

10 The next important consideration is the price. Be sure to get quotes from several different companies before you decide on a company. You can use the internet to get an idea of how much tree removal should cost, but be sure to ask each company what the service fee includes. Once you have made a final choice, you will be confident that trees in your yard will be removed safely and in a professional manner that will improve the look of your home.

So why is there a need to remove them from places where they naturally grew? Trees need to be removed especially when a storm has hit and caused the tree to fall down.

Sometimes, branches hang too low and puncture your home's roof; and when trees become too old, it can take just one storm to make it fall. Other times, trees are removed to give way for construction of gardens, residences or commercial spaces, as long as new ones are planted in exchange. Some homeowners think they can handle the challenge of tree removal services on their own; if you are one of them, think again. When You Think You Can Do It? This is one common mistake by people who feel that they can just cut off their trees and take it off their yard. What they do not know is that it is a dangerous task to remove trees on your own.

17 The Potential Benefits of Tree Removal Services By Jason Lom Gone are the days when tree removal was considered a difficult job. With increasing popularity of tree services, you can now get rid of unwanted trees without much problem. Trees reap many advantages for a house in innumerable ways, but an outgrowth of uncontrollable trees may pose a threat to your surroundings, damaging your property. A tree removal service in your city may help you get rid of unwanted tress in an effective way. The major advantages to hiring a tree removal service company include: * Time Savings A lot of time is involved in removing large or middle size unwanted trees that have over grown the area and need removal. Improper tools may even make the task more difficult and time consuming. Hiring a reputed company having much experience in pruning or removing a tree completely will not only save you time, but also help in minimizing your effort to clean the land. * Saves money Tree removing services often offer great value for your money. They are affordable and save money spent in cleaning your landscape to get rid of broken branches and leaves. These trees, over time, tend to destruct structures like sewers and walls of your house. A lot of money is wasted in repairing such damages. Though you might have insurance on your house, most insurers do not provide services for any damage caused due to overgrown trees. Thus, removing unwanted trees beforehand saves a lot of money. * Helps Prevent Injuries Old overgrown trees may pose a threat of falling branches that may break and fall on members of the house, especially children. To avoid such injuries, it is best to get the branches or the whole tree removed. An experienced tree removal company is well equipped to do the job and prevent you from possible damage.
