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 any specific tree that has definitely lost a sizable 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 provide this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees render decreases cooling bills in the summer time and provides a buffer from the winter wind. Meanwhile the drop in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance costs to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees alongside 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 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 take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Often when a tree is too close to a property we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if lots of limbs need to be taken off it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply figure out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or property. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to carry out some research or consult a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to envisage 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 subsequent owner to have to hire a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. Homeowners should go with bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well under a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full direct sunlight. Although it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you could speak with a landscape expert about changing to a different kind of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the correct location may improve a homes value the inappropriate tree can damage property’s value. In many cases we can improve 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. However in certain cases to boost the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not occupy the same site. This is the scenario of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Generally in these instances tree removal is the only option and if you are feeling depressed about removing your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Even though it will not mature in our life-time our kids or somebody else’s children can enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are not lawyer or attorneys however this is the way in which falling trees are usually translated according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only responsible for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a stipulation saying that these companies are exempt for deceased or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s 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 neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to advise 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 place the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many individuals who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the number of phone calls we receive seeking out a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes these to rot. So that requires you to install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Otherwise clean them yearly shortly after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times as a result of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the only way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to clear away all large trees within striking distance. It may be downright costly to remove a great deal of trees near your West Point NY property and often this eliminates the fear but leaves some remorse. Commonly fears could be calmed by having a tree service company examine the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree requires to be removed you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just simply plant a fresh 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 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 couple cultivated in a non harvest area within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
