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 idea to take any specific tree that has lost a sizable limb examined by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to check 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 warrant 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” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees offer lowers cooling bills in the summer months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees near to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Often if a tree is very close to a home we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically look for 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 building. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or hire a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may 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 overall size trees can dominate much smaller plants. House owners should certainly decide on bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well under a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sunshine. Even though it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you might speak with a landscape professional about switching to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the most appropriate location can increase a property’s value the inappropriate tree can impact a home’s value. In many cases we can enhance 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 in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not inhabit the same area. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Normally in these circumstances tree removal is the sole solution and if you are really feeling down about getting rid of your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it may not mature in our lifetime our kids or someone else’s kids may take joy in it.

Liability issues: We are not legal representatives but here is how falling trees are basically translated based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You clear away the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a provision stating that they are not responsible for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation 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 advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many people that like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning company with the amount of telephone calls we receive searching for a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse compared to not possessing gutters at all. Blocked downspouts cause the water to overflow into 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. Or else clean them yearly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on windy nights due to a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the sole way to make certain a tree will never fall on the house is to take out all big trees within striking distance. It can be pricey to remove a lot of trees near your Highland Falls NY home and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves some remorse. Typically fears could be appeased by having a tree service pro assess the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just 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 do not 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 each dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
