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: Occasionally storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is a good idea to have each and every tree that has lost a large limb checked 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 provide 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 perform free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees render reduces cooling costs in the summertime and provides a barrier from the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching his house due to the fact that 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 someone else trap and take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or home siding.

At times if a tree is too close to a property we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be removed it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply pick out a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they could crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advisable to carry out some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a home 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 home before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to locate 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 choose bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they will have to live with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well underneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunlight. While it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you may speak with a landscape professional 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 increase a homes worth the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. In many cases we can boost the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. However in some cases to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not occupy the same area. Such is the case of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these cases tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling depressed about removing your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it will not mature in our life time our kids or somebody else’s children can appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not legal representatives however this is the way falling trees are typically interpreted based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree dropping down. You clear away the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a stipulation stating that they are exempt for dead or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages 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 advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to place the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many people that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter cleaning business with the quantity of telephone calls we get looking for a good low-cost gutter cleaning service. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced kind I know aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are much worse compared to not possessing gutters whatsoever. Congested downspouts trigger 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. Or else clean them yearly soon after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times because of a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the only way to make sure a tree will never fall on the house is to take out all large trees inside of close quarters. It may be costly to remove a great deal of trees near your West Point NY residence and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some regret. Typically fears can be relieved by having a tree service company examine the trees to ensure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree requires to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. Simply plant a 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 room 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 dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest place within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
