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: Once in a while storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good practice to take any specific tree that has recently lost a substantial limb evaluated by a tree professional who 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 most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees provide reduces cooling bills in the summer season and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees near to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

Occasionally when a tree is too close to a property we can simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be removed it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply find a more suitable location.

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

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their size trees can dominate much smaller plants. Home owners should choose bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunlight. Whilst it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you might just consult a landscape expert about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the most appropriate location may increase a property’s market value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. In many cases we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However in certain cases to boost the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not really inhabit the very same spot. Such is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Oftentimes in these situations tree removal is the sole solution and if you are feeling down about getting rid of your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it may not mature in our lifespan our children or somebody else’s children can take joy in it.

Liability issues: are not legal representatives however this is insights on how fallen trees are usually interpreted according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or at fault for the tree falling. You dispose of the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that these companies are exempt for dead or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to advise 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 notification to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance business with the amount of phone calls we receive searching for a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Every one wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive kind I know typically aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters whatsoever. Congested downspouts cause 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 expert.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times because of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the sole way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all big trees inside of striking distance. It could be pricey to remove a great deal of trees near your Fort Montgomery NY house and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears can be relieved by having a tree service expert examine the trees to make sure none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. 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 wish to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest area within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
