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 practice to have any tree that has lost a pretty big limb checked out 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 free of charge. Injured trees are most 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 property is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees provide reduces cooling bills in the summer time and provides a buffer against the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

In some cases if a tree is too near to a home we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just go with 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 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 deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to envisage 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 next owner to require to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can dominate small plants. Home-owners ought to go for bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sun light. Although it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you love the tree you may consult a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location may boost a property’s worth the inappropriate tree can damage 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 merely clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. However sometimes to enhance 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 location. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Usually in these cases tree removal is the sole option and if you are feeling depressed about getting rid of your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it will not mature in our lifetime our children or somebody else’s kids may well enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are not lawyer or attorneys however here is how fallen trees are generally translated based upon the law. In the case that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree falling. You remove the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a provision saying that these companies are not responsible for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential 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 neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many homeowners who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance business with the amount of telephone calls we get looking for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced ones I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters at all. Clogged 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. Otherwise clean them yearly shortly 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 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 take down all large trees within close quarters. It can be downright costly to remove a load 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 inspect the trees to ensure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be cleared away you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just 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 don’t have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest place within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
