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: Sometimes storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good practice to take any tree that has likely lost a significant limb assessed by a tree professional who should do a risk evaluation on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees offer decreases cooling costs in the summer time and provides a buffer against the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees near to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having somebody trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

In some cases when a tree is very close to a home we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house 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 better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically pick and choose 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 prudent to carry out some research or hire a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a building 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 building before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their overall size trees can overshadow small plants. Property owners should certainly select bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full direct sunlight. Although it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you love the tree you may seek advice from a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the most appropriate location can boost a property’s market value the inappropriate tree can hurt property’s value. Often we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. However sometimes to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often two things can not occupy the same spot. This is the case of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Normally in these instances tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about taking out your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even though it will not mature in our lifetime our kids or somebody else’s children may well enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyers but here is the way in which falling trees are basically translated according to the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or liable for the tree dropping down. You remove the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a clause saying that these companies are not responsible for deceased or unhealthy 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 stipulation 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 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 house you can use the written notice to position the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many homeowners who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance operation with the number of phone calls we receive trying to find a good affordable gutter cleaning service. Every one would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters at all. Congested downspouts trigger 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. Or else clean them yearly soon after all the leaves have fallen and in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees because some people lay awake on windy night-times because of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their house. Unfortunately the only way to make certain a tree will never fall on the house is to clear away all large trees within close quarters. It could be pricey to remove a bunch of trees near your West Point NY residential property and sometimes this eliminates the fear but leaves some regret. Typically fears can be appeased by having a tree service professional 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 has to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just plant a fresh native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not have space on your property but still wish 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 choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest site within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
