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 Highland Falls 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 recently lost a pretty big limb checked out by a tree professional who can do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain 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 necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees render decreases cooling expenditures in the summer and provides a buffer against the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees near to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had penetrated 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| then needed to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or siding.

Sometimes whenever a tree is very close to a property we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if many 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 remove the tree and plant a different 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 home. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or consult with a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a building 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 new owner to require to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can dominate much smaller plants. Home-owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full direct sunlight. Although it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you cherish the tree you might just speak with a landscape expert about switching to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the right location can boost a property’s worth the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that at times 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 really inhabit the same location. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Often in these scenarios tree removal is the sole solution and if you are really feeling depressed about clearing away your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it does not mature in our lifespan our children or somebody else’s kids may appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are not attorneys however this is the way in which fallen trees are basically interpreted according to the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or liable for the tree dropping down. You remove the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a stipulation saying that these companies are not responsible for perished or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify 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 notice to position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many property owners who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of calls we receive looking for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced ones I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters at all. Congested downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes these 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 expert.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery night-times as a result of a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree does not fall on the house is to take down all large trees within close quarters. It could be expensive to remove a load of trees near your Highland Falls NY house and often this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears can be calmed by having a tree service expert assess the trees to make certain none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a new native tree at a far better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have room on your property but still want to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest site within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
