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 still a good practice to take each and every tree that has lost a good sized limb surveyed by a tree professional that may do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade that trees offer lowers cooling costs in the summer and provides a barrier against the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees beside houses can also make it possible for 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 due to the fact that a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out 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 rewire the attic. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged roof shingles or siding.

Often whenever a tree is too near to a property we will be able to simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just simply find 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 home. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to do some research or consult with a landscape company when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might plan to sell the building before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their proportions trees can dominate smaller plants. Home owners ought to go for bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full direct sunlight. While it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might just consult a landscape company about switching to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the correct location may improve a homes resale value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. In many cases we can improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Having said that in some cases to boost the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not really occupy the very same site. This is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Generally in these scenarios tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling down about taking out your best-loved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it does not mature in our lifetime our children or somebody else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: are not attorneys but here is the way in which falling trees are often translated according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that they are exempt for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect 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 house you can use the written notice to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know many people that like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance operation with the amount of phone calls we get looking for a good affordable gutter cleaner. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive ones I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Obstructed 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. Otherwise clean them yearly right 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 due to a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the home is to take out all big trees within striking distance. It can possibly be costly to remove a load of trees near your West Point NY residential property and often this eliminates the fear but leaves some remorse. Often fears can be relieved by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to ensure none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree has to be cleared away you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just simply plant a new native tree at a better 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 make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They plant a tree for each 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 opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
