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 practice to take each and every tree that has definitely lost a sizable limb examined by a tree professional that should 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 more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling bills in the summertime and provides a buffer from the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees beside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A customer 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 take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Occasionally if a tree is too near to a property we can simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if lots of limbs need to be cleared away it may 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 think about 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 building. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or consult a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their overall size trees can overshadow small plants. Home-owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they need to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunlight. While it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may consult a landscape professional about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the appropriate location can easily increase a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Oftentimes we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Unfortunately sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not inhabit the very same location. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these cases tree removal is the sole solution and if you are really feeling depressed about taking out your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: are not lawyer or attorneys however this is the way fallen trees are typically translated according to the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a stipulation saying that these companies are exempt for perished or diseased 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 about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very 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 assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many homeowners that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning company with the number of calls we get trying to find a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters at all. Congested downspouts trigger 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 right after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery nights because of a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the only way to guarantee a tree does not fall on the home is to clear away all big trees inside of striking distance. It may be downright costly to remove a number of trees near your Fort Montgomery NY property and often this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears could be soothed by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to make certain none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a brand-new native tree at a much 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 make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for each dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple sown in a non harvest location within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
