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 Fort Montgomery 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 practice to have every tree that has likely lost a substantial limb looked at by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees render reduces cooling expenditures in the summertime and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenditures to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees near to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house owing to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having somebody trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

In some cases whenever a tree is too close to a home we can simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be taken off it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically make a decision on 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 foundation. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to carry out some research or hire a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate 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 subsequent 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 dominate much smaller plants. Home-owners should pick bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well under a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunlight. Although it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may consult a landscape professional about switching to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the right location can easily increase a property’s market value the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. Often times we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However in some cases to boost the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not occupy the same site. This is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Usually in these situations tree removal is the sole choice and if you are really feeling down about getting rid of your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it may not mature in our life-time our kids or someone else’s children may appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are not attorneys however this is the way in which falling trees are ordinarily translated based upon the law. In the case that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree falling. You clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a provision saying that these companies are exempt for deceased or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notification to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of telephone calls we receive looking for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive kind I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters at all. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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. Otherwise 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 frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on windy nights as a result of a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the sole way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the house is to take out all large trees within close quarters. It could be pricey to remove a bunch of trees near your Fort Montgomery NY residential property and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears can be soothed by having a tree service expert assess the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just simply plant a brand-new native tree at a far better location on your estate 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 make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few planted in a non harvest area within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
