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 On Hudson 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 practice to have each and every tree that has recently lost a significant limb examined by a tree professional who may 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 warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals make available 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 provide reduces cooling bills in the hot months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees alongside houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house due to the fact that 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 clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times when a tree is very near to a home we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically think about a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always advised to do some research or consult with a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can dominate small plants. House owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well under a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sunshine. Even though it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you love the tree you could consult a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the correct location can improve a homes value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Often times we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Having said that in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not inhabit the same site. Such is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Oftentimes in these situations tree removal is the sole choice and if you are feeling depressed about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s kids can appreciate it.

Liability issues: are certainly not legal representatives however this is the way falling trees are usually interpreted according to the law. On the assumption 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 dispose of the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a provision stating that these companies are exempt for dead or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to advise 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 position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many property owners that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of phone calls we get seeking out a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know typically aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are much worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Congested downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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. Alternatively clean them yearly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees because some people lay awake on windy nights due to a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all big trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be expensive to remove a number of trees near your Cornwall On Hudson NY house and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears could be appeased by having a tree service company inspect the trees to ensure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a brand new native tree at a much better location on your estate 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 make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few sown in a non harvest location within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
