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 a good practice to have any specific tree that has recently lost a large limb examined by a tree professional that can possibly do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees provide decreases cooling bills in the summer time and provides a barrier against the winter wind. On the other hand the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees close to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone else trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or siding.

At times if a tree is too close to a property we can just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be far better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply think about 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 property. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or refer to 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 building before it reaches maturity leaving the subsequent owner to have to pay a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their proportions trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Home-owners should certainly decide on bushes or shrubs that have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they have to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sunlight. Even though it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you really love the tree you might speak with a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the correct location may boost a homes resale value the inappropriate tree can damage property’s value. Often times we can boost the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Unfortunately in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not inhabit the very same spot. This is the instance of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Normally in these cases tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are feeling down about removing your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it doesn’t mature in our life time our children or someone else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: are not attorneys but this is the way in which fallen trees are generally interpreted according to the law. In the case that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or at fault for the tree dropping down. You remove the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated with regard to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a provision stating that these companies are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damage to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notification to place the fee of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know many homeowners who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of phone calls we receive searching for a good low-cost gutter cleaner. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the low-cost ones I know typically aren’t insured and that is why I refuse to refer them. Having said that clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters at all. Obstructed downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught behind the gutters causes these to rot. So that requires you to put in 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 if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times as a result of a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the sole way to guarantee a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take down all large trees inside of close quarters. It can possibly be costly to remove a great deal of trees near your Harriman NY residence and sometimes this gets rid of the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears can be appeased by having a tree service company examine the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. If a tree needs to be cleared away you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just 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 don’t have space on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest site within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
