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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to take any specific tree that has definitely lost a good sized limb looked over by a tree professional that can do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees offer reduces cooling costs in the summer and provides a buffer from the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees near to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having someone trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had 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 siding.

Occasionally if a tree is very close to a house we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply select a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will 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 property or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their proportions trees can dominate small plants. Home-owners should choose bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sunshine. Even though it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you may seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the appropriate location can easily boost a property’s worth the inappropriate tree can impact a home’s value. Often times we can boost the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Unfortunately in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not occupy the same area. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Normally in these instances tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about extracting your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it does not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s kids may take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not attorneys but this is how fallen trees are normally interpreted according to the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are not responsible for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential 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 neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notification to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many homeowners that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of phone calls we receive searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive ones I know aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged up downspouts trigger 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. Or else clean them yearly soon after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that 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 windy nights because of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. The fact is the sole way to guarantee a tree does not fall on the house is to remove all large trees within striking distance. It may be costly to remove a number of trees near your West Point NY property and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears could be soothed by having a tree service pro inspect 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 has to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Simply plant a fresh native tree at a better location on your estate and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still want to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for every single dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few sown in a non harvest place within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
