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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good practice to have each and every tree that has definitely lost a sizable limb assessed by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling costs in the summer months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees alongside houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch 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 situations where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally if a tree is very near to a property we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be taken off it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just settle on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to conduct some research or refer to a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to envisage 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 subsequent owner to require to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their size trees can overshadow small plants. Homeowners should certainly decide on bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they need to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full direct sunlight. Even though it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you could consult a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the most appropriate location may improve a homes resale value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Often times we can enhance the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not occupy the very same location. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Usually in these scenarios tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling down about taking out your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our children or somebody else’s kids may well enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are not attorneys but this is insights on how fallen trees are typically translated based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible with respect to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause 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 other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many individuals that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning company with the quantity of telephone calls we receive looking for a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters at all. 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 after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on windy night-times due to a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the only way to insure a tree will never fall on the home is to clear away all large trees within striking distance. It could be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Highland Falls NY house and often this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears could be relieved by having a tree service expert assess the trees to make certain none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has 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 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 plant a tree for every 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 sown in a non harvest place within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
