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 a good idea to have any specific tree that has likely lost a sizable limb checked out by a tree professional that may 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 carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees render reduces cooling expenditures in the summertime and provides a barrier against the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees close to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot 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 rewire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Sometimes if a tree is very close to a house we can 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 which case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply settle on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to do some research or refer to a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to understand 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 have to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their overall size trees can dominate much smaller plants. Property owners ought to select bushes or shrubs which will tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunshine. Even though it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you love the tree you may speak with a landscape expert about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the appropriate location may increase a property’s worth the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. In many cases we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However at times to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not really inhabit the very same area. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Often in these instances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling down about clearing away your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our life-time our kids or somebody else’s children may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are not legal professionals but here is the way falling trees are basically translated according to the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated for tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only liable 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 provision saying that these companies are exempt for deceased 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 stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to place the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many property owners that like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance company with the quantity of calls we receive seeking out a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced ones I know typically aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters whatsoever. Clogged up downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes them to rot. So that requires you to put in 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 frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy nights as a result of a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree will never fall on the house is to take out all large trees within close quarters. It can possibly be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Fort Montgomery NY house and often this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears could be appeased by having a tree service company evaluate the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a fresh native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest area within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
