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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have any specific tree that has recently lost a significant limb examined by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are more 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 house is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees offer reduces cooling costs 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 expenses to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or siding.

Sometimes if a tree is too close to a home we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply decide on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or consult with a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their overall size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Homeowners should pick bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well under a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full direct sunlight. Although it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you might just seek advice from a landscape company about switching to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the proper location may improve a property’s market value the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. Often times we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Having said that in some cases 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 occupy the same area. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Generally in these scenarios tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling depressed about extracting your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our kids or someone else’s children may enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are not lawyers but here is the way in which fallen trees are normally translated based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a provision stating that these companies are exempt for dead or diseased 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 about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a 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 evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to place the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many individuals that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the number of calls we receive searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are much worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Congested downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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. Or else 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 frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery nights because of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree does not fall on the house is to clear away all big trees within striking distance. It may be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Greenwood Lake NY residence and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Commonly fears can be soothed by having a tree service expert examine the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree has to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a new native tree at a far 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 sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest place within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
