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 Greenwood Lake 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 every tree that has likely lost a pretty big limb checked out by a tree professional who can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to make sure 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 require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees offer decreases cooling expenditures in the summer and provides a buffer against the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees near to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or home siding.

Occasionally if a tree is too near to a property we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be removed it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically make a decision on 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 other to stop this other than tree removal it is always advised to do some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their overall size trees can dominate small plants. Property owners should certainly go for bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sun light. Even though it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you might just seek advice from a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the most appropriate location can easily boost a property’s market value the inappropriate tree can impact a home’s value. In many cases we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that at times to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not really occupy the same spot. This is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Generally in these instances tree removal is the sole choice and if you are feeling down about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it doesn’t mature in our life-time our children or someone else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not lawyer or attorneys but this is the way in which falling trees are usually interpreted according to the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You clear away the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that they are not responsible for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect 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 home you can use the written notification to place the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many individuals who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning company with the amount of calls we get looking for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap kind I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to refer them. Having said that clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. 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. Otherwise clean them yearly 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 blustery night-times due to a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to clear away all big trees inside of close quarters. It may be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Greenwood Lake NY home and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly 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 higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. 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 do not have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest area within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
