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 each and every tree that has definitely lost a substantial limb surveyed by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service for free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling costs in the hot months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance bills to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house owing to 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 remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then had to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally whenever a tree is very near to a property we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically choose on 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 building. Since there is no alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or refer to a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a building 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 subsequent owner to require to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their scale trees can dominate smaller plants. Property owners should decide on bushes or shrubs which will tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree could be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunshine. Even though it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you might seek advice from a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location can certainly boost a homes market value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Often we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However in some cases to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not occupy the same site. Such is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these cases tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling down about extracting your beloved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our lifespan our children or someone else’s children may appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyers but here is insights on how fallen trees are generally translated based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your 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 deceased 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 stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side 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 notification to place the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many homeowners that like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance operation with the quantity of phone calls we receive seeking out a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap kind I know aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes these 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 soon 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 simply because some people lay awake on stormy night-times as a result of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the only way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to clear away all big trees within close quarters. It can be costly to remove a number of trees near your West Point NY residence and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Commonly fears could be soothed by having a tree service company evaluate the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a more 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 destroyer. Just simply plant a new 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 room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest area within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
