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 a good practice to take any tree that has recently lost a large limb checked by a tree professional who should do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees provide reduces cooling expenditures in the summer and provides a barrier from the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees close to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having somebody trap and clear away 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 continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or home siding.

In some cases if a tree is too close to a house we can simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be cleared away it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to carry out some research or refer to a landscape professional when choosing 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 may plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their proportions trees can overshadow smaller plants. Home owners ought to select bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full direct sunlight. While it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you cherish the tree you could speak with a landscape professional about switching to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the most appropriate location can increase a homes worth the inappropriate tree can damage property’s value. In many cases we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Unfortunately in certain cases to boost 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 spot. Such is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Usually in these circumstances tree removal is the only option and if you are really feeling depressed about getting rid of your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it may not mature in our life time our kids or someone else’s children can enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not lawyers however here is insights on how falling trees are often interpreted according to the law. In the case that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated with respect to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a clause saying that they are exempt for dead 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 concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to place the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many individuals that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance operation with the number of calls we get searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost kind I know typically aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters at all. Clogged downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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. Or else 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 simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times because of a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the only way to make certain a tree does not fall on the home is to take out all big trees within striking distance. It could be pricey to remove a number of trees near your Highland Falls NY home and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears can be calmed by having a tree service professional examine the trees to ensure none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be removed you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a brand new native tree at a much better location on your property 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 provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
