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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have each and every tree that has lost a significant limb examined by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain 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 almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees render decreases cooling bills in the hot months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees next to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone else trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

Sometimes when a tree is too near to a home we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be removed it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just simply pick and choose 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 building. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or hire a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their scale trees can dominate much smaller plants. Property owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well under a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full direct sunlight. Whilst it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may speak with a landscape expert about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the right location can easily increase a property’s value the inappropriate tree can impact a home’s value. Oftentimes we can enhance the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Unfortunately in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two 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. Usually in these instances tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling down about taking out your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it does not mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s children can appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not attorneys however this is the way in which falling trees are ordinarily interpreted according to the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent 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 for tree removal and repairs to his premises. 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 sue and a few insurance policies have a stipulation saying that these companies are not responsible for deceased or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the other hand 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 competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to place the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many property owners who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of telephone calls we get looking for a good cheap gutter cleaner. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive kind I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters at all. Clogged up downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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. Otherwise clean them yearly soon 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 blustery nights as a result of a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to make certain a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take down all large trees within close quarters. It can possibly be expensive to remove a number of trees near your West Point NY property and often this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears could be relieved by having a tree service pro inspect the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a brand new native tree at a much better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still want to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every single dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest area within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
