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 take any tree that has definitely lost a substantial limb inspected by a tree professional who should do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify 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 most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees render lowers cooling bills in the summer time and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees near to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or home siding.

At times when a tree is too close to a house we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply pick 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 building. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or hire a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a house 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 building before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their overall size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home-owners should go for bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sun light. Whilst it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you could seek advice from a landscape expert about switching to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the right location can certainly increase a property’s worth the inappropriate tree can impact a home’s value. Often times we can enhance the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not really occupy the very same area. Such is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these cases tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling down about getting rid of your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it does not mature in our lifespan our children or somebody else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyer or attorneys but this is how fallen trees are typically interpreted based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree falling. You remove the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only responsible 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 stating that they are not responsible for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation 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 advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional 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 of many individuals who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance company with the quantity of telephone calls we receive looking for a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive ones I know aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters at all. Clogged up downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes them to rot. So that requires you to put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Alternatively 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 expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy nights due to a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to clear away all large trees within close quarters. It may be costly to remove a number of trees near your Cornwall NY property and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears can be appeased by having a tree service company evaluate the trees to make sure none of them have any defects 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 killer. Just simply plant a brand new native tree at a far better location on your estate 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 make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest location within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
