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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to have any tree that has lost a good sized limb surveyed by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to make sure 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 almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees provide decreases cooling bills in the summer time and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees next to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

Often if a tree is very close to a home we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be taken off it can 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 find a more suitable location.

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

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their proportions trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Homeowners should certainly choose bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full direct sunlight. Even though it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you may consult a landscape company about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the most appropriate location can certainly increase a homes market value the wrong tree can damage property’s value. Oftentimes we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that in some cases to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not really inhabit the very same spot. This is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Oftentimes in these cases tree removal is the only choice and if you are feeling down about taking out your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even if it will not mature in our lifetime our kids or somebody else’s kids can appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are not attorneys however this is how fallen trees are generally translated according to the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree dropping down. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are exempt for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard 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 home you can use the written notification to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning company with the number of telephone calls we get seeking out a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everybody wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes them 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 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 times remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times due to a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the sole way to make certain a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to remove all large trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be downright costly 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 soothed by having a tree service expert examine the trees to make certain none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher 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. Just plant a brand-new native tree at a far 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 would like 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 choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few sown in a non harvest location within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
