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 Greenwood Lake 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 a good practice to have any specific tree that has likely lost a sizable limb assessed by a tree professional who can do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify 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 necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees render reduces cooling costs in the summertime and provides a barrier from the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house owing 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 else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or home siding.

Occasionally if a tree is very near to a property we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be taken off it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just think about a more suitable location.

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

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. Property owners ought to decide on bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they will have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunshine. Although it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you really love the tree you could seek advice from a landscape company about switching to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the right location can easily improve a homes value the wrong tree can damage a home’s value. In many cases we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not really inhabit the same site. Such is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Often in these scenarios tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling down about taking out your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it may not mature in our lifetime our children or somebody else’s children can enjoy it.

Liability issues: are not lawyers but here is the way fallen trees are generally interpreted based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a stipulation stating that these companies are exempt for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard 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 residence you can use the written notification to position the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many people that like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning operation with the quantity of calls we receive looking for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Obstructed 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 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 windy night-times as a result of a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the only way to make sure a tree will never fall on the house is to take down all big trees inside of striking distance. It may be costly to remove a great deal of trees near your Greenwood Lake NY residence and often this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears could be calmed by having a tree service professional evaluate the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just simply plant a new native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still want 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 also choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
