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 still a good practice to have every tree that has recently lost a large limb looked at by a tree professional who can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling expenditures in the summer season and provides a barrier against the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten in 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 touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times if a tree is very close to a property we will be able to just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be taken off it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically figure out 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 building. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always best to carry out some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their size trees can overshadow small plants. Home owners should certainly select bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sunlight. While it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you might just speak with a landscape expert about switching to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location can certainly improve a property’s worth the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Often times we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Unfortunately at times to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not inhabit the same spot. This is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Oftentimes in these cases tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about getting rid of your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it will not mature in our life-time our kids or someone else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: are certainly not legal representatives but this is the way falling trees are often interpreted based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed 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 neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a provision saying that these companies are exempt for perished 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 flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free evaluation. 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 do not know of many homeowners who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning company with the amount of phone calls we get trying to find a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap kind I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to refer them. Having said that clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters at all. Congested 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 install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Or else 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 oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery nights because of a specific tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the only way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the house is to remove all large trees inside of striking distance. It can be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your West Point NY house and often this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears could be calmed by having a tree service company inspect the trees to make certain none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree requires to be cleared away you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just simply plant a new native tree at a far 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 want 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 choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few sown in a non harvest location within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
