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 practice to have every tree that has definitely lost a substantial limb assessed by a tree professional who can do a risk evaluation on the tree to check 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 warrant 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” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees provide lowers cooling costs in the summer season and provides a buffer from the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees close to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or home siding.

At times whenever a tree is very near to a house we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be cleared away it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply settle on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no alternative way to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable 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 anticipate the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the house before it reaches maturity leaving the new owner to require to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Property owners should choose bushes or shrubs that can tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only prosper in full sun light. While it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you love the tree you may consult a landscape expert about changing to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the correct location can easily improve a homes value the wrong tree can hurt property’s value. Often times we can improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However at times to improve the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes 2 things can not really inhabit the very same area. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Normally in these circumstances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about clearing away your treasured tree you can always plant another one. Even if it may not mature in our life time our children or someone else’s children can enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not legal professionals however this is the way fallen trees are ordinarily interpreted according to the law. On the assumption that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree falling. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a stipulation saying that these companies are exempt for dead or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notification to position the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many property owners that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning operation with the number of telephone calls we receive searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap kind I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Clogged up downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto 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. 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 specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees 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 residence. Unfortunately the only way to make sure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take down all large trees inside of close quarters. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a load of trees near your West Point NY residential property and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Commonly fears can be appeased by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to make sure none of them have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be taken down you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a brand new native tree at a more desirable location on your estate and you are doing your part to restore the growth cycle. If you do not 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 every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few planted in a non harvest location within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
