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 any specific tree that has definitely lost a sizable limb surveyed by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. Injured trees are more 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 residence is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees render reduces cooling bills in the summertime and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the drop 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 part below). Trees next to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

In some cases when a tree is too near to a home we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically pick and choose 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 foundation. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or consult with a landscape company when choosing 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 might plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their overall size trees can overshadow small plants. Home owners should go for bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they will have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunshine. While it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you could seek advice from a landscape professional about switching to a different type of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the right location can certainly boost a homes market value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Often we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. However in some cases to boost the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not really inhabit the very same spot. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these circumstances tree removal is the sole choice and if you are really feeling down about extracting your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our lifespan our kids or somebody else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyers however this is insights on how fallen trees are ordinarily interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a clause stating that they are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential 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 know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to place the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many homeowners that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance company with the number of telephone calls we receive looking for a good cheap gutter cleaner. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced ones I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are much worse compared to not having gutters at all. 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 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 in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery nights due to a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the house is to take down all big trees inside of striking distance. It may be pricey to remove a lot of trees near your Cornwall On Hudson NY house and often this alleviates the fear but leaves some remorse. Typically fears can be soothed by having a tree service professional evaluate the trees to make certain none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree requires to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Simply plant a brand-new native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every 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 planted in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
