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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good practice to have every tree that has recently lost a substantial limb checked out by a tree professional that may do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees offer lowers cooling costs in the hot months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees beside houses can also permit 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 due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone else trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and 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 result in damaged roof shingles or home siding.

At times if a tree is too close to a house we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be taken off it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply consider a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or hire a landscape professional when choosing 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 just plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Home owners should go with bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they have to cope 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 flourish in full sunshine. Although it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you cherish the tree you could seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the proper location can certainly increase a homes value the inappropriate tree can damage a home’s value. Often we can enhance 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 boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not occupy the same site. This is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these instances tree removal is the only choice and if you are really feeling depressed about clearing away your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even though it may not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s kids can appreciate it.

Liability issues: are not attorneys however this is how falling trees are commonly translated according to the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree falling. You dispose of the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a stipulation saying that these companies are exempt for dead or diseased 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 side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many homeowners that like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning company with the quantity of telephone calls we get searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters at all. Clogged downspouts cause 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. Or else clean them yearly shortly 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 times remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy nights because of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take down all big trees within close quarters. It could be expensive to remove a number of trees near your West Point NY residence and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears could be calmed by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree requires to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just plant a brand-new native tree at a much better location on your estate and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t 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 also choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest area within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
