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 practice to take every tree that has definitely lost a significant limb examined by a tree professional who can possibly 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 more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees provide lowers cooling expenditures in the summer season and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees next to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Sometimes if a tree is too near to a house we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just select a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no alternative way 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 house or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to have to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their proportions trees can dominate small plants. Property owners ought to select bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunshine. Whilst it may be more affordable to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may consult a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the proper location may boost a homes market value the inappropriate tree can damage property’s value. Oftentimes we can enhance the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. However in some cases to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not really occupy the very same spot. Such is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Normally in these circumstances tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling down about clearing away your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our lifespan our kids or somebody else’s children can enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not legal professionals but here is how falling trees are ordinarily translated according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a clause stating that these companies are exempt for deceased or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notice to position the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many homeowners that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the amount of calls we receive seeking out a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Almost everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap kind I know typically aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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 right 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 as a result of a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to guarantee a tree does not fall on the home is to take down all large trees within close quarters. It may be pricey to remove a load of trees near your West Point NY residence and often this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears could be calmed by having a tree service expert examine the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher 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 executioner. Just plant a brand-new native tree at a much 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 would like 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 also specify the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest area within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
