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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to take any tree that has definitely lost a substantial limb assessed 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 provide this service for free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling expenditures in the summertime and provides a buffer from the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A customer of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having someone else trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Occasionally if a tree is very near to a home we may just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just consider a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to conduct some research or consult with a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a property 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: As a result of their size trees can dominate much smaller plants. Home owners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t performing well under a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sun light. Whilst it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you love the tree you might just seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the correct location can certainly increase a homes value the inappropriate tree can damage property’s value. Oftentimes we can improve the curb appeal of a building 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. However in certain cases to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not occupy the very same site. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Generally in these situations tree removal is the only alternative and if you are feeling depressed about removing your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even if it does not mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyers however here is how falling trees are normally interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your 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 a few insurance policies have a stipulation saying that these companies are exempt for lifeless 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 clause about dead or diseased trees. On the other 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 professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many homeowners who like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance operation with the quantity of phone calls we get searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are much worse compared to not having 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. Or else 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 often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery nights because of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to make certain a tree does not fall on the home is to take out all big trees within close quarters. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a lot of trees near your Greenwood Lake NY house and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves some remorse. Often fears could be calmed by having a tree service expert assess the trees to ensure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be taken down you do not 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 do not have space 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 each dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest area within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
