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 take any tree that has likely lost a sizable limb surveyed by a tree professional that may do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain 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 require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees offer reduces cooling bills 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 costs to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on 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 somebody trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

Often if a tree is very close to a house we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be taken off it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just think about a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to conduct some research or hire a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a building 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 house before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their scale trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home-owners should certainly go with bushes or shrubs that 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 isn’t performing well under a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sun light. Even though it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might just speak with a landscape company about switching to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the proper location can increase a homes worth the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Oftentimes we can improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Unfortunately sometimes to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not really occupy the same location. Such is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Often in these cases tree removal is the sole solution and if you are feeling depressed about clearing away your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it may not mature in our life-time our children or somebody else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not lawyers however here is the way falling trees are basically interpreted based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible 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 dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a provision saying that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s 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 neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many property owners who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of phone calls we receive searching for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. Having said that clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters at all. Congested downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes them 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 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 blustery night-times due to a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the sole way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the house is to clear away all large trees inside of close quarters. It may be costly to remove a bunch of trees near your Highland Falls NY house and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears could be appeased by having a tree service expert examine the trees to ensure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree requires to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a new native tree at a more desirable 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 would like to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest area within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
