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 every tree that has recently lost a good sized limb surveyed by a tree professional that should do a risk evaluation on the tree to check 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 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 real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees provide decreases cooling costs in the summer time and provides a barrier from the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house owing to 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 else trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire 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.

Sometimes when a tree is too close to a property we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if lots of limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically go for 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 alternative way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to do some research or consult with a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to envisage the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their scale trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home-owners should decide on bushes or shrubs which can tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full direct sunlight. Even though it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you may speak with a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the proper location can easily boost a homes worth the wrong tree can damage property’s value. In many cases we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Having said that in some cases to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not really occupy the same spot. Such is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Oftentimes in these instances tree removal is the only solution and if you are feeling down about extracting your best-loved tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it may not mature in our lifespan our kids or someone else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: are certainly not attorneys however this is the way fallen trees are commonly interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or at fault for the tree falling. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a clause pointing out that these companies are exempt for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you could 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 neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many individuals who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of phone calls we receive seeking out a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Every one would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap kind I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts cause the water to overflow into 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 right after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We frequently remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times due to a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to make certain a tree will never fall on the house is to clear away all large trees inside of striking distance. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a lot of trees near your West Point NY residence and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Commonly fears could be relieved by having a tree service professional inspect the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree needs to be taken down you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Simply plant a brand new native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you don’t have space on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest site within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
