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 practice to take any specific tree that has recently lost a good sized limb evaluated 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 most 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 house is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees provide lowers cooling expenditures in the hot months and provides a buffer from the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to grow (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A customer 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 trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Occasionally if a tree is very near to a home we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be removed it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply settle on 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 alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or refer to a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they just plan to sell the home before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. House owners ought to go for bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunshine. Even though it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you love the tree you may speak with a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the right location can boost a homes worth the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. Often times we can enhance 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 home from the road. Having said that in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not really inhabit the very same spot. Such is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Normally in these scenarios tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling down about getting rid of your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it doesn’t mature in our life-time our children or somebody else’s kids may well enjoy it.

Liability issues: are not lawyers however this is insights on how falling trees are ordinarily interpreted according to the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You clear away the section 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 premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are exempt for dead or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many homeowners who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of calls we receive seeking out a good cheap gutter cleaner. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive ones I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to refer them. Having said that clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not possessing gutters at all. Congested downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes these 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 often remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy nights due to a specific tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the sole way to insure a tree does not fall on the home is to take down all large trees inside of close quarters. It can be downright costly to remove a great deal of trees near your West Point NY home and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears can be appeased by having a tree service expert inspect the trees to make certain none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a brand-new native tree at a far better location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for each dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple planted in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
