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 practice to have any tree that has likely lost a sizable limb checked out by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to ensure that 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 provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees provide decreases cooling bills in the summertime and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone else trap and take out 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 lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

Sometimes whenever a tree is very near to a house we will be able to just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be removed it could 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 decide on 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 foundation. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or consult a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a building 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 building before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their overall size trees can dominate small plants. House owners should go with bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well under a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full direct sunlight. Although it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you may seek advice from a landscape company about changing to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the right location can easily boost a homes market value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Often times we can boost 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 your home from the road. Unfortunately sometimes to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not really inhabit the very same site. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Generally in these circumstances tree removal is the only solution and if you are feeling down about removing your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even if it may not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s kids can take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyers but this is the way in which falling trees are typically interpreted according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or at fault for the tree dropping down. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are not responsible for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might 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 know 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 position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many homeowners who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of calls we get trying to find a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap kind I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters at all. Clogged downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes these 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 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 windy night-times as a result of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take down all big trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a bunch of trees near your Greenwood Lake NY property and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears could be soothed by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree needs to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a brand-new native tree at a better location on your estate 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 provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every single 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 sown in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
