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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to take each and every tree that has definitely lost a substantial limb looked at by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to check 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 carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees provide decreases cooling bills in the summer time and provides a barrier from the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenditures to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house thanks to 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 trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

Often when a tree is very near to a home we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be taken off it could 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 basically think about a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or consult with 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 just plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their proportions trees can dominate much smaller plants. Property owners should certainly decide on bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they will have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunshine. While it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you love the tree you could speak with a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the appropriate location may increase a homes worth the inappropriate 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 just simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. However in certain cases to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not occupy the same site. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Usually in these instances tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling down about getting rid of your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it does not mature in our life-time our children or someone else’s kids may well enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyer or attorneys however this is the way in which falling trees are generally translated based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent 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 when it comes to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a provision pointing out that they are not responsible for perished or unhealthy 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 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 know 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 don’t know of many property owners who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance operation with the quantity of phone calls we receive looking for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced kind I know typically aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts trigger the water to overflow into 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 shortly after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We often times remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy nights because of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to make sure a tree does not fall on the house is to clear away all big trees within close quarters. It can possibly be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Cornwall NY home and often this eliminates the fear but leaves some remorse. Typically fears could be relieved by having a tree service company inspect the trees to make certain none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Simply plant a brand-new native tree at a more desirable 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 few seeded in a non harvest location within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
