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: Once in a while 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 lost a large limb examined by a tree professional that can 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 necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees provide reduces cooling costs in the hot months and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees beside houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten in 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 afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Often if a tree is very near to a house we can just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be taken off it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically find a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to do some research or hire a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a home 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 building before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Homeowners should choose bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunlight. Whilst it may be cheaper to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may seek advice from a landscape company about changing to a different type of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location can easily improve a property’s worth the inappropriate tree can damage a home’s value. Often times we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that at times to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not occupy the same site. This is the scenario of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Oftentimes in these situations tree removal is the sole choice and if you are really feeling down about taking out your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our lifespan our children or somebody else’s children can enjoy it.

Liability issues: are certainly not legal professionals however here is insights on how fallen trees are ordinarily interpreted based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or liable for the tree dropping down. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that they are exempt for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence 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 gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning operation with the number of phone calls we get looking for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters at all. Congested downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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 specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times because of a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take down all large trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be expensive to remove a great deal of trees near your West Point NY house and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears could be calmed by having a tree service company assess the trees to make certain none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Just plant a brand-new native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can even specify 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.
