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 still a good practice to have any tree that has recently lost a large limb examined by a tree professional who may do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of cost. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate 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” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees offer decreases cooling costs in the summer time and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees alongside houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house owing to 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 someone trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Occasionally if a tree is very near to a property we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply find 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 foundation. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to carry out some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a home 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 property before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their proportions trees can dominate much smaller plants. Home owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunlight. Although it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you could consult a landscape company about changing to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the correct location may boost a homes value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Often we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Having said that in some 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 inhabit the very same area. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these scenarios tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling depressed about getting rid of your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it will not mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are not lawyer or attorneys but here is the way in which fallen trees are often interpreted according to the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree falling. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential 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 neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of calls we receive seeking out a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced ones I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Obstructed 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 soon 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 remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times due to a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the sole way to make sure a tree does not fall on the house is to take down all big trees inside of striking distance. It may be pricey to remove a bunch of trees near your Cornwall NY residential property and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears could be calmed by having a tree service pro examine 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 requires to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a fresh native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every single dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
