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 Cornwall 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: Once in a while storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have any tree that has likely lost a substantial limb examined by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer 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 carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees offer lowers cooling expenditures in the summer time and provides a buffer against the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenditures to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees alongside houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone else trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

Occasionally when a tree is very near to a property we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be removed it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply choose on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may 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 advisable to do some research or hire a landscape professional when deciding 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 just 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: As a result of their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Home owners should certainly decide on bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunlight. While it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might just consult a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the correct location can certainly increase a homes market value the wrong tree can damage a home’s value. Often times we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. However in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not really occupy the same spot. This is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Oftentimes in these instances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling down about clearing away your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even though it will not mature in our life-time our children or someone else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not attorneys however this is the way in which falling trees are generally interpreted based upon the law. On the assumption 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 clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a stipulation stating that these companies are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might 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 hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 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 place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many property owners who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning company with the number of calls we get searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Every one wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes them to rot. So that requires you to install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Or else 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 often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times as a result of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the only way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take down all large trees within striking distance. It could be downright costly to remove a load of trees near your Cornwall NY home and often this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears can be calmed by having a tree service professional evaluate the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a brand-new native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for each dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest site within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
