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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to take every tree that has lost a large limb looked over by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees render decreases cooling bills in the hot months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally when a tree is too near to a house we will be able to just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be cleared away it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically pick a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to carry out some research or consult a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a building 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 home before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

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

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location can certainly improve a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Oftentimes we can enhance the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that in some cases to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not really inhabit the same site. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these situations tree removal is the only choice and if you are feeling down about getting rid of your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it may not mature in our life-time our children or someone else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: are certainly not legal professionals however here is how fallen trees are basically translated based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible with respect to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that these companies are not responsible for deceased or unhealthy 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 about dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to place the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many people who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance operation with the quantity of phone calls we receive seeking out a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive kind I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts cause 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 right after all the leaves have fallen and if 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 windy night-times due to a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the only way to make sure a tree does not fall on the house is to remove all large trees inside of close quarters. It can be pricey to remove a bunch of trees near your Cornwall On Hudson NY home and often this alleviates the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears can be appeased by having a tree service company evaluate the trees to make certain none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a brand-new native tree at a more desirable location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore 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 plant 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 couple cultivated in a non harvest location within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
