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 Highland Falls 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 idea to have any tree that has recently lost a good sized limb checked out by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees render lowers cooling bills in the summer and provides a barrier from the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees beside houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Sometimes when a tree is very close to a property we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be taken off it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply settle on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to do some research or hire a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate 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 next owner to require to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their size trees can dominate much smaller plants. Property owners ought to go with bushes or shrubs which can 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 assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full direct sunlight. While it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might consult a landscape expert about changing to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the proper location can easily increase a homes value the inappropriate tree can damage a home’s value. Often we can enhance the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Unfortunately at times to enhance the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not inhabit the same location. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Normally in these cases tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling down about getting rid of your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Even though it may not mature in our lifetime our kids or somebody else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not legal representatives however here is insights on how falling trees are ordinarily interpreted based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable for tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a clause stating that these companies are not responsible for deceased 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 about dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify 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 cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many homeowners that like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance business with the amount of phone calls we get looking for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. Having said that clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing gutters at all. Congested downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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. 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 specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times as a result of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take out all large trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Highland Falls NY property and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears can be calmed by having a tree service pro assess the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just simply plant a brand 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 room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest area within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
