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 still a good practice to take every tree that has recently lost a substantial limb evaluated by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees render reduces cooling costs in the hot months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenditures to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A customer of ours had us take down 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 trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

Occasionally whenever a tree is very near to a home we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be cleared away it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply pick out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. 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 professional when deciding on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the building 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: Thanks to their scale trees can overshadow much smaller plants. House owners should select bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well under a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunshine. While it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you may consult a landscape expert about changing to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the proper location may increase a homes value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Often we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Having said that at times to boost the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not really inhabit the very same location. This is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these instances tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about getting rid of your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it does not mature in our life time our children or somebody else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not legal representatives however this is the way fallen trees are commonly interpreted according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree falling. You dispose of the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated when it comes to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a provision pointing out that these companies are exempt for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the other side 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 know 99 % of competent 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 next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many people that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the amount of telephone calls we get trying to find a good cheap gutter cleaner. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes them 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 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 often remove trees because some people lay awake on windy nights as a result of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take down all large trees within close quarters. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a bunch of trees near your Fort Montgomery NY house and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears can be calmed by having a tree service professional inspect the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be cleared away you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just simply plant a new native tree at a better 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 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 planted in a non harvest place within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
