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 still a good idea to take every tree that has likely lost a pretty big limb looked at by a tree professional that can do a risk evaluation on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide 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 perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees render decreases cooling expenditures in the summer months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees beside houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone else trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or home siding.

At times if a tree is too close to a home we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be taken off it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just simply make a decision on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to conduct some research or refer to a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a building 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 new owner to have to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can overshadow small plants. Home owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sunlight. Whilst it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you love the tree you could consult a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the correct location can certainly increase a homes value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Often we can enhance the curb appeal of a house 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 at times to boost the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not occupy the very same area. Such is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these circumstances tree removal is the sole solution and if you are feeling depressed about getting rid of your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our lifespan our children or somebody else’s kids can appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are not attorneys however here is the way in which falling trees are basically translated based upon the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or at fault for the tree dropping down. You remove the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a stipulation saying that these companies are exempt for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s 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 very best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many property owners that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of calls we get looking for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive kind I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are more frustrating than not possessing gutters at all. Clogged up 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. Alternatively clean them yearly soon after all the leaves have fallen and if 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 windy night-times because of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the sole way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take down all big trees within close quarters. It may be downright costly to remove a lot of trees near your West Point NY house and often this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears can be relieved by having a tree service expert examine the trees to make certain none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree requires to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a brand new native tree at a much better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still want to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for each dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
