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 still a good idea to have any tree that has recently lost a sizable limb assessed by a tree professional who can do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees provide decreases cooling bills in the hot months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house owing to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Sometimes when a tree is too close to a home we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be removed it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just decide on 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 other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or consult with a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their size trees can dominate much smaller plants. Homeowners should choose bushes or shrubs that are able to 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 underneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunshine. Whilst it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you love the tree you might speak with a landscape expert about changing to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the correct location may increase a homes market value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. In many cases we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Unfortunately in certain cases to boost the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not occupy the very same spot. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these cases tree removal is the only alternative and if you are feeling depressed about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it does not mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not legal representatives but here is how falling trees are often 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 at fault for the tree dropping down. You remove the section 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 instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a clause stating that these companies are exempt for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can 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 other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the 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 evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many property owners that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the number of calls we get looking for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced ones I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts trigger the water to overflow into 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. Otherwise 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 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 only way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take down all big trees inside of close quarters. It can possibly be costly to remove a load of trees near your Cornwall NY property and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves some remorse. Often fears could be soothed by having a tree service professional examine the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a brand new native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still want to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest place within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
