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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have every tree that has recently lost a substantial limb surveyed by a tree professional that may do a risk evaluation on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service for free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling costs in the summer time and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

At times if a tree is very near to a property we can simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just simply choose on 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 building. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to do some research or consult with a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their size trees can dominate much smaller plants. Home-owners ought to pick bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sun light. While it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might consult a landscape expert about changing to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the correct location may improve a property’s market value the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. Often times we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. However in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not inhabit the same area. This is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Normally in these cases tree removal is the only option and if you are really feeling down about removing your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it does not mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s children can enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not legal professionals but here is how falling trees are ordinarily interpreted according to the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You remove the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a provision pointing out that these companies are exempt for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can 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 very best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many homeowners that like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance business with the number of calls we get looking for a good cheap gutter cleaner. Almost everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know typically aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes them to rot. So that requires you to put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Or else clean them yearly shortly after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery nights due to a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree does not fall on the home is to remove all large trees inside of striking distance. It can be downright costly to remove a number of trees near your Greenwood Lake NY property and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears could be soothed by having a tree service expert examine the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree needs to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just plant a brand new native tree at a much better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
