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: Sometimes 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 recently lost a good sized limb looked at by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. 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 property is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees render reduces cooling bills in the hot months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance expenses to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter 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 trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having somebody 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 scenarios where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or siding.

Sometimes when a tree is very near to a home we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be taken off it may 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 basically choose 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 other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to conduct some research or consult with a landscape company when choosing 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 just plan to sell the property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to find a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. Home-owners should certainly select bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunshine. Even though it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might just speak with a landscape expert about switching to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location can boost a property’s resale value the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Often we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Unfortunately at times to enhance the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not inhabit the very same area. Such is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Often in these cases tree removal is the sole option and if you are really feeling down about extracting your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our life time our kids or somebody else’s kids may take joy in it.

Liability issues: are certainly not lawyer or attorneys however this is the way in which fallen trees are normally interpreted according to the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be negligent or to blame for the tree dropping down. You remove the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with respect to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are actually only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a provision stating that they are exempt for perished or diseased trees. If this were to happen you could 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 best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to position the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many individuals that like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of calls we receive trying to find a good affordable gutter cleaner. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the cheap ones I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Clogged up downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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. Or else 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 specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on windy nights due to a particular tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their house. The fact is the sole way to insure a tree will never fall on the home is to take down all big trees within close quarters. It could be expensive to remove a bunch of trees near your Harriman NY residential property and often this eases the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears can be calmed by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree has to be cleared away you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just plant a brand new native tree at a more desirable location on your property and you are doing your part to restore 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 plant a tree for each dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest area within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
