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 a good idea to have every tree that has lost a pretty big 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 free of charge. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling costs in the summer time and provides a barrier against the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees near to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or home siding.

Occasionally when a tree is very close to a property we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be cleared away 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 choose on 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 foundation. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to carry out some research or consult a landscape professional when choosing on a location for trees around a building or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their scale trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home owners ought to choose bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunlight. Whilst it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might just consult a landscape expert about changing to a different type of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the proper location can certainly boost a property’s market value the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Often we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that sometimes to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not really occupy the same location. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Normally in these scenarios tree removal is the only alternative and if you are feeling down about extracting your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it will not mature in our life-time our children or someone else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are not legal professionals however here is the way fallen trees are typically interpreted based upon the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You remove the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated for tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a stipulation stating that these companies are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can 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 hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to notify 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 home you can use the written notice to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many property owners who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance operation with the quantity of calls we receive looking for a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost kind I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse than not having 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 put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Alternatively clean them yearly shortly after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery nights due to a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the sole way to guarantee a tree does not fall on the home is to remove all big trees inside of close quarters. It can be downright costly to remove a load of trees near your West Point NY property and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears can be appeased by having a tree service company inspect the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply 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 want to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest location within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
