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: Once in a while storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to have each and every tree that has definitely lost a large limb assessed by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most 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 offer decreases cooling bills in the summer months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten in 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| and afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

Sometimes if a tree is very near to a property we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be taken off it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just decide on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or consult a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to have to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their proportions trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Property owners should go with bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they need to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunshine. Whilst it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you love the tree you might consult a landscape expert about switching to a different type of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the appropriate location can improve a homes worth the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. In many cases we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Unfortunately in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not occupy the same area. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Often in these situations tree removal is the sole solution and if you are feeling down about taking out your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it may not mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s children may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyer or attorneys however this is how falling trees are commonly translated according to the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or to blame for the tree dropping down. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only responsible 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 provision saying that these companies are exempt for deceased 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 protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many people that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance operation with the quantity of telephone calls we receive looking for a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-priced ones I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow onto 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. Alternatively clean them yearly right 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 simply because some people lay awake on stormy nights because of a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to remove all large trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be expensive to remove a number of trees near your Highland Falls NY residential property and often this eliminates the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears could be calmed by having a tree service pro assess the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a fresh 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 want to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for each dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest site within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
