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 a good practice to take any tree that has recently lost a significant limb checked by a tree professional who can do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of cost. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees render reduces cooling costs in the summer months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenditures to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees near to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone else trap and clear away 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 touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or home siding.

Often when a tree is too close to a home we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several 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 find a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to conduct some research or consult with a landscape professional 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 might plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their proportions trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home owners should go with bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full direct sunlight. While it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might seek advice from a landscape expert about changing to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the correct location can certainly improve a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Often times we can enhance the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Unfortunately in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not inhabit the very same spot. This is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Usually in these circumstances tree removal is the only option and if you are really feeling down about removing your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Even though it will not mature in our lifespan our kids or someone else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not attorneys however here is how falling trees are basically translated according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree falling. You remove the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a provision stating that they are not responsible for deceased 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 concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to position the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many people that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance operation with the quantity of phone calls we receive searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive kind I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts cause 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. Otherwise 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 oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times because of a specific tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree does not fall on the home is to take out all large trees inside of close quarters. It could be pricey to remove a lot of trees near your Fort Montgomery NY property and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears could be appeased by having a tree service pro inspect the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree needs 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 want to make a contribution you can provide 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. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest area within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
