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 idea to take every tree that has definitely lost a pretty big limb looked over by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to verify 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 make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling bills in the summer season and provides a buffer from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenditures 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 enter the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten inside 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 afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

In some cases when a tree is very close to a home we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be taken off 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 just simply opt for a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or consult with a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their proportions trees can dominate smaller plants. Property owners should choose bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunlight. Although it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you might speak with a landscape company about switching to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the correct location can improve a homes value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. However in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not occupy the same location. This is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Usually in these scenarios tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about removing your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it may not mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s kids may take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are not attorneys however this is insights on how fallen trees are generally translated according to the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You remove the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a stipulation stating that they are exempt for perished or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to notify 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 house you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many people that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of telephone calls we get looking for a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost ones I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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. Or else clean them yearly soon after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery nights due to a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take out all large trees within close quarters. It can be expensive to remove a load of trees near your Cornwall NY property and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears can be soothed by having a tree service professional examine the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a brand new native tree at a more desirable 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 would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few sown in a non harvest area within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
