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 take each and every tree that has lost a good sized limb surveyed by a tree professional that should do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees provide decreases cooling costs in the summer months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house owing to 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 somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

At times whenever a tree is too close to a home we can simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically pick a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or consult a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a house 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 new owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their overall size trees can overshadow small plants. House owners should choose bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need 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 increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunlight. Even though it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you may consult a landscape company about changing to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the proper location can certainly improve a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can damage a home’s value. Oftentimes we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. However in certain cases to boost the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not occupy the very same site. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Often in these cases tree removal is the only choice and if you are feeling depressed about taking out your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our life-time our kids or someone else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: are not lawyer or attorneys but this is insights on how fallen trees are typically interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You clear away the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a stipulation saying that they are not responsible for deceased or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the 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 assessment. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many individuals that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance business with the number of calls we receive searching for a good cheap gutter cleaner. Every one would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced kind I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are more frustrating than 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 put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Otherwise clean them yearly 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 frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on windy nights as a result of a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the sole way to make certain a tree will never fall on the home is to take out all large trees within striking distance. It can be expensive to remove a number of trees near your West Point NY residence and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears can be calmed by having a tree service professional evaluate the trees to make certain none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree requires to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a brand-new native tree at a more desirable location on your property 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 plant a tree for each dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple sown in a non harvest location within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
