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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to take any specific tree that has lost a significant limb examined by a tree professional that should do a risk evaluation on the tree to ensure that 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 most true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees provide reduces cooling expenditures in the summertime and provides a barrier from the winter wind. On the other hand 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 paragraph below). Trees close to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten inside 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| then afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

Often if a tree is very near to a home we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their size trees can dominate small plants. Home-owners should select bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full direct sunlight. Although it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you might consult a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the most appropriate location may improve a homes value the wrong tree can impact property’s value. Oftentimes we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Unfortunately at times to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not occupy the very same spot. Such is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Normally in these situations tree removal is the only alternative and if you are feeling down about getting rid of your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: are not legal professionals however this is the way in which fallen trees are generally translated according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree falling. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a provision saying that these companies are exempt for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can 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 other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the 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 assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to position the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many individuals that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance business with the amount of calls we receive seeking out a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap kind I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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 specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times because of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the only way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to remove all big trees within striking distance. It may be expensive to remove a great deal of trees near your West Point NY residence and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears could be soothed by having a tree service pro examine the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree requires to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just plant a new native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still want to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest area within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
