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: Sometimes 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 lost a pretty big limb evaluated by a tree professional that may do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees provide reduces cooling costs in the summer months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled 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 re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

Often whenever a tree is too close to a home we can simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply choose on a more suitable location.

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

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their overall size trees can dominate small plants. Property owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sun light. Even though it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you might seek advice from a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the appropriate location can boost a homes worth the inappropriate tree can damage 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 simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However sometimes to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not really inhabit the same site. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Normally in these instances tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling down about getting rid of your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it does not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s children can take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not attorneys but this is the way in which fallen trees are basically interpreted according to the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or liable for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a clause saying that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about 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 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 place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many individuals that like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of phone calls we receive searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced kind I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are worse compared to not possessing gutters at all. Blocked downspouts trigger the water to overflow into 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. Or else clean them yearly shortly 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 blustery nights because of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over the house. The fact is the only way to insure a tree will never fall on the house is to remove all large trees inside of close quarters. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a number of trees near your Fort Montgomery NY property and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears could be calmed by having a tree service expert evaluate 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 taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a new native tree at a far better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make 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 cultivated in a non harvest area within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
