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 West Point 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 idea to have any tree that has recently lost a good sized limb looked over by a tree professional that may 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 necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees render reduces cooling costs in the summer months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees next to houses can also allow 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 tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

Often when a tree is very near to a home we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if lots of limbs need to be removed it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding 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 just plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can overshadow small plants. Homeowners should go for bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunlight. Although it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you really love the tree you may speak with a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the correct location can certainly boost a homes value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Often times we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not really inhabit the very same area. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Normally in these circumstances tree removal is the sole solution and if you are really feeling down about extracting your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Even though it does not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not attorneys but this is insights on how fallen trees are usually translated based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree falling. You clear away the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only liable 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 clause stating that these companies are exempt for lifeless or unhealthy 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 stipulation 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 notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. 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 many individuals that like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance business with the quantity of phone calls we receive searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Obstructed 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 put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Otherwise clean them yearly soon 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 because some people lay awake on blustery night-times because of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree does not fall on the house is to take out all big trees within striking distance. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a bunch of trees near your West Point NY property and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears could be relieved by having a tree service pro assess the trees to ensure none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a brand-new native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest location within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
