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: Once in a while storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to take any tree that has recently lost a substantial limb surveyed 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 more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees render decreases cooling costs in the hot months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees beside houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house due to the fact that 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 somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

Often if a tree is too close to a house we can simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if lots of limbs need to be taken off it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just simply look for 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 property. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or hire a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a building 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 property before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to pay a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their overall size trees can dominate small plants. Property owners should select bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they need to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full direct sunlight. Even though it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you really love the tree you may consult a landscape company about switching to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the most appropriate location can increase a property’s resale value the wrong tree can damage property’s value. In many cases we can enhance the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not really inhabit the very same spot. Such is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these scenarios tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it does not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not lawyer or attorneys however this is the way fallen trees are basically translated according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree falling. You clear away the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible with regard to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a provision saying that they are exempt for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to advise 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 house you can use the written notification to place the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many individuals that like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance company with the number of phone calls we get looking for a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters at all. Clogged up 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 put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Alternatively clean them yearly soon after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times as a result of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree will never fall on the home is to take out all big trees within close quarters. It can be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Fort Montgomery NY residential property and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears could be appeased by having a tree service company evaluate the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a fresh native tree at a 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 grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
