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 Fort Montgomery 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 have every tree that has recently lost a sizable limb examined by a tree professional who can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service for free. Injured trees are most 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 house is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees provide decreases cooling bills in the summer months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees close to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house due to the fact that 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 someone else trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Often whenever a tree is too near to a property we may just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if lots of limbs need to be removed it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically go with a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to conduct some research or refer to a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their scale trees can dominate much smaller plants. Home owners should certainly go with bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full direct sunlight. Although it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you could seek advice from a landscape company about changing to a different type of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the proper location may increase a homes market value the wrong tree can damage property’s value. Often times we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. However in certain cases to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not really occupy the same spot. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Normally in these circumstances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about removing your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it does not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s children may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not legal representatives but here is how falling trees are ordinarily interpreted according to the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repairs to his property. 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 a few insurance policies have a stipulation saying that they are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to position the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many individuals that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance operation with the amount of telephone calls we get seeking out a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are worse compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Obstructed 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. Otherwise clean them yearly soon 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 times remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy nights due to a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all big trees within close quarters. It can possibly be pricey to remove a load of trees near your Fort Montgomery NY home and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Commonly fears can be relieved by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be removed you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just plant a new native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have room 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 specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few sown in a non harvest site within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
