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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to take every tree that has definitely lost a pretty big limb surveyed by a tree professional that can do a risk evaluation on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling costs in the hot months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees close to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

Sometimes if a tree is too near to a house we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be taken off it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just simply choose 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 other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to do some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a building 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 house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their scale trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home-owners ought to go with bushes or shrubs that are able 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 performing well underneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sun light. Although it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you might speak with a landscape professional about changing to a different type of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the proper location may improve a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Unfortunately at times to enhance the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not inhabit the same area. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Oftentimes in these circumstances tree removal is the sole choice and if you are feeling depressed about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it does not mature in our life-time our children or someone else’s kids can appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not legal professionals but here is how falling trees are typically translated based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You dispose of the portion 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 actually only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a provision saying that these companies are exempt for perished 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 about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard 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 house you can use the written notification to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many people who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning company with the number of calls we receive trying to find a good cheap gutter cleaner. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced ones I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. Having said that clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged up downspouts trigger 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 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 windy nights because of a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take down all big trees within striking distance. It can possibly be costly to remove a bunch of trees near your Cornwall NY residence and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears could be soothed by having a tree service pro evaluate the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be cleared away you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just simply plant a new native tree at a far better location on your estate and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few planted in a non harvest area within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
