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 still a good practice to take every tree that has definitely lost a large limb checked 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 free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide 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 provide decreases cooling costs in the summer months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees beside houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house because 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 take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Occasionally when a tree is too close to a house we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be cleared away it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically opt for 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 home. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable 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 understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their overall size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Property owners should certainly select bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well under a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sunshine. While it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you really love the tree you might seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different type of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the most appropriate location can easily increase a homes worth the wrong tree can impact property’s value. In many cases we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Unfortunately sometimes to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not occupy the same site. Such is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Usually in these cases tree removal is the sole solution and if you are feeling depressed about removing your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even though it will not mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s children may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyers however this is insights on how fallen trees are generally translated according to the law. In the event that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a stipulation stating that these companies are exempt for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the other 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 professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many people that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance operation with the quantity of phone calls we get seeking out a good affordable gutter cleaner. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters whatsoever. Obstructed 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. Alternatively clean them yearly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy night-times because of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over the house. The fact is the only way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to clear away all big trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be pricey to remove a bunch of trees near your Greenwood Lake NY home and often this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears can be appeased by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to make certain none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree requires to be removed you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just simply plant a new native tree at a better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still want to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest location within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
