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 still a good practice to have every tree that has likely lost a sizable limb checked by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment 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 most true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling expenditures in the summer months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees alongside houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

At times if a tree is very near to a property we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be removed 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 simply settle on 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 building. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to carry out some research or consult with a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their overall size trees can overshadow small plants. Home-owners should certainly go with bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunlight. Even though it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the right location can easily increase a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Often we can enhance the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Having said that at times to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not really occupy the same location. This is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Usually in these cases tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling down about extracting your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it will not mature in our lifespan our children or somebody else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: are not attorneys but here is insights on how fallen trees are basically interpreted based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are exempt for perished or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to notify 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 home you can use the written notification to position the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many property owners that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of phone calls we get seeking out a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap kind I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow into 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 specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy nights due to a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the only way to make certain a tree will never fall on the house is to clear away all large trees within close quarters. It may be pricey to remove a load of trees near your Greenwood Lake NY home and often this eases the fear but leaves some remorse. Often fears can be calmed by having a tree service pro examine the trees to make sure none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just simply plant a brand-new native tree at a more desirable 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 want to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for each dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest site within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
