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 practice to have any tree that has lost a sizable limb inspected by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of charge. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees provide decreases cooling bills in the hot months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees alongside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching on 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 trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

Sometimes whenever a tree is very close to a property we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be taken off it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically pick and choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to carry out some research or consult with a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their proportions trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Property owners should select bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sun light. Whilst it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you love the tree you may seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the most appropriate location can easily improve a homes value the inappropriate tree can hurt property’s value. Often we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Unfortunately at times to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not inhabit the very same area. Such is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Normally in these situations tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are feeling depressed about taking out your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it does not mature in our life time our kids or somebody else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not legal professionals however this is the way in which fallen trees are normally interpreted based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or to blame for the tree falling. You dispose of the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that these companies are exempt for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause 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 find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many property owners who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance operation with the number of phone calls we get seeking out a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive ones I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters at all. Clogged up downspouts cause the water to overflow onto 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. 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 often times remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times due to a specific tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the only way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the house is to take down all large trees within striking distance. It can be pricey to remove a lot of trees near your Fort Montgomery NY residence and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears can be soothed by having a tree service professional examine the trees to ensure none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just simply plant a fresh native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to restore 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 every dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Fell 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.
