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 West Point 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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to take every tree that has definitely lost a sizable limb checked by a tree professional who should do a risk evaluation on the tree to ascertain 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 warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling costs in the summer months and provides a buffer 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 next to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house owing to a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Occasionally if a tree is very near to a house we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be removed it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just figure out 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 foundation. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or hire a landscape professional when choosing 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 might plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their overall size trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Property owners should select bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sun light. While it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really like the tree you may seek advice from a landscape expert about switching to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the right location may improve a homes worth the wrong tree can damage property’s value. Often we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Unfortunately in some cases to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not inhabit the very same site. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Oftentimes in these instances tree removal is the only solution and if you are really feeling down about clearing away your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it does not mature in our life-time our children or somebody else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not legal professionals but here is the way in which falling trees are ordinarily interpreted according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or at fault for the tree falling. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a clause saying that they are exempt for dead or diseased 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 clause about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notification to place the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many homeowners who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning operation with the quantity of calls we receive trying to find a good cheap gutter cleaner. Everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap kind I know aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters at all. Congested downspouts cause the water to overflow into 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. Otherwise clean them yearly right after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy night-times as a result of a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their residence. Unfortunately the sole way to make sure a tree does not fall on the house is to take down all big trees inside of striking distance. It may be expensive to remove a great deal of trees near your West Point NY house and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some remorse. Often fears can be soothed by having a tree service expert examine the trees to make sure none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be cleared away you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just simply plant a fresh native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple sown in a non harvest site within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
