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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to have any specific tree that has recently lost a good sized limb assessed by a tree professional who can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling costs in the summer months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A client 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 bunch of money having someone else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

At times whenever a tree is very close to a property 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 may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just pick and choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to carry out some research or hire a landscape professional when deciding 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 may plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their size trees can dominate small plants. Property owners ought to go with bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunshine. Even though it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you cherish the tree you might just consult a landscape professional about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the most appropriate location can boost a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can damage property’s value. Often we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property 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. However sometimes to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not inhabit the very same location. This is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Normally in these instances tree removal is the only solution and if you are really feeling depressed about getting rid of your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it does not mature in our lifetime our kids or someone else’s kids can appreciate it.

Liability issues: are not lawyers however this is the way fallen trees are basically translated based upon the law. If the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a provision saying that they 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 other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notification to place the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many people that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of telephone calls we get searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive ones I know typically aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are much worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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. Alternatively clean them yearly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on windy nights because of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree will never fall on the house is to take out all big trees inside of close quarters. It may be pricey to remove a lot of trees near your Highland Falls NY property and often this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears can be calmed by having a tree service company assess the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just simply plant a fresh 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 space on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every single dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest location within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
