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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to have every tree that has definitely lost a pretty big limb inspected by a tree professional that should do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees offer reduces cooling expenditures in the summer season and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees next to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A homeowner 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 take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or home siding.

At times if a tree is too close to a property we may just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically choose on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advised to carry out some research or hire a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a house 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 building before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their scale trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Property owners should decide on bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they need 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 increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full direct sunlight. Even though it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might just consult a landscape expert about switching to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the most appropriate location can improve a homes resale value the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Often we can improve 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 in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not inhabit the very same spot. Such is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Oftentimes in these situations tree removal is the sole choice and if you are feeling down about removing your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it may not mature in our life-time our kids or somebody else’s kids can appreciate it.

Liability issues: are certainly not legal professionals but this is the way fallen trees are generally translated based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or to blame for the tree falling. You dispose of the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a provision stating that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to place the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many homeowners that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of calls we receive looking for a good cheap gutter cleaner. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts trigger 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 soon 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 times remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery night-times because of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take down all big trees inside of close quarters. It may be expensive to remove a load of trees near your Greenwood Lake NY house and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Commonly fears could be soothed by having a tree service company examine the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree requires to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a brand new native tree at a more desirable location on your estate and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still would like 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. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few sown in a non harvest location within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
