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 Harriman 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 still a good idea to take each and every tree that has lost a sizable limb evaluated by a tree professional that may do a risk assessment on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service for free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a total “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees offer decreases cooling costs in the summer months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. On the other hand the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenditures to grow (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees next to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to gain access to the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having someone else trap and remove 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 result in damaged roof shingles or siding.

At times when a tree is very near to a house we can simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be cleared away it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or just consider a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always advised to conduct some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to understand the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they may plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to find a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can dominate small plants. House owners should certainly go for bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t performing well under a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunlight. Although it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you could seek advice from a landscape company about changing to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the correct location may boost a homes market value the inappropriate tree can hurt a home’s value. Often times we can improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. However in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees typically two things can not inhabit the same area. This is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Normally in these instances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about extracting your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not lawyers however here is insights on how fallen trees are usually interpreted based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You dispose of the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are actually only responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a stipulation saying that they are exempt for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you may 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 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 home you can use the written notice to place the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many homeowners who like to clean gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance company with the quantity of phone calls we receive trying to find a good affordable gutter cleaner. Everybody would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the cheap ones I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. At the same time clogged gutters are much worse compared to not having gutters at all. 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 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 expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy night-times because of a certain tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to make sure a tree does not fall on the house is to take out all large trees within close quarters. It may be expensive to remove a load of trees near your Harriman NY home and often this eliminates the fear but leaves some remorse. Often fears can be soothed by having a tree service pro assess the trees to make sure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be taken down you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Simply plant a new native tree at a better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew 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 grow a tree for every dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few seeded in a non harvest area within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
