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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to have any tree that has definitely lost a large limb assessed by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to verify 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 make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees offer decreases cooling expenditures in the summertime and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to increase (this is covered 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 client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times if a tree is too near to a house we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be cleared away it may 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 pick a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to conduct some research or refer to a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their proportions trees can overshadow smaller plants. Home-owners should decide on bushes or shrubs which will tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full direct sunlight. Although it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you love the tree you may consult a landscape company about switching to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the appropriate location can easily improve a homes resale value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However at times to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not occupy the same area. This is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Usually in these cases tree removal is the only solution and if you are really feeling depressed about getting rid of your best-loved 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: We are certainly not lawyer or attorneys however this is the way fallen trees are generally translated based upon the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a clause saying that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy 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 stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify 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 residence you can use the written notification to position the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many people who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning operation with the number of calls we get looking for a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are worse compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Congested 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 install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Or else clean them yearly right 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 stormy nights as a result of a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the sole way to make sure a tree will never fall on the home is to remove all big trees inside of close quarters. It can be expensive to remove a great deal of trees near your Cornwall NY home and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves some remorse. Typically fears can be relieved by having a tree service pro evaluate the trees to ensure none of them have any defects that would make them a more 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 killer. Just plant a brand new native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
