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 any tree that has recently lost a pretty big limb assessed by a tree professional that may do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees offer lowers cooling expenditures in the summer season and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees near to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching 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 spent a bunch of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally whenever a tree is too close to a home we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically make a decision 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 foundation. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to do some research or refer to a landscape professional when choosing 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 property 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: Because of their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. Home-owners should certainly decide on bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full direct sunlight. Even though it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might seek advice from a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the right location can improve a homes value the wrong tree can damage a home’s value. In many cases we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Unfortunately sometimes to improve the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically 2 things can not really inhabit the very same area. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Normally in these situations tree removal is the only solution and if you are feeling depressed about getting rid of your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our life-time our kids or someone else’s children may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyer or attorneys but this is the way fallen trees are usually interpreted according to the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible with respect 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 dead or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a clause saying that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy 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 next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect 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 residence you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many individuals that like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance business with the number of telephone calls we receive seeking out a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced kind I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters at all. Clogged downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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 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 frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times due to a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. The fact is the sole way to make sure a tree does not fall on the house is to remove all large trees within close quarters. It may be pricey to remove a bunch of trees near your Fort Montgomery NY home and often this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears can be calmed by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to make certain none of them have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just plant a new native tree at a 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 would like to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest site within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
