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 practice to take every tree that has likely lost a sizable limb examined by a tree professional that may do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always warrant tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals offer free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a house is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade that trees render decreases cooling expenditures in the summer season and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the drop in sunlight can add to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees next to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a bunch of money having somebody trap and clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the continuous swaying of the trees can lead to damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally when a tree is very close to a home we may simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be taken off it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just simply settle on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots can sometimes clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or foundation. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to do some research or hire a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to anticipate 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 have to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Because of their proportions trees can dominate small plants. House owners should certainly go for bushes or shrubs that are able to tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well under a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sun light. Although it may be cheaper to remove the tree| if you cherish the tree you could speak with a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the most appropriate location may improve a homes resale value the wrong tree can damage property’s value. In many cases we can improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Unfortunately at times to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not really occupy the very same site. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| entrance| etc. Usually in these circumstances tree removal is the only option and if you are really feeling depressed about clearing away your favorite tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it doesn’t mature in our life time our kids or someone else’s kids may enjoy it.

Liability issues: are certainly not legal professionals however here is insights on how fallen trees are basically interpreted according to the law. In the case that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or at fault for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the portion of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is responsible for tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only responsible for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a stipulation pointing out that these companies are not responsible for deceased 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 stipulation about dead or diseased trees. On the other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to position the expense of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many property owners who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance business with the number of telephone calls we get seeking out a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Every one would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive kind I know typically aren’t insured and therefore I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are more frustrating compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Obstructed downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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. Or else clean them yearly soon 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 often times remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy nights as a result of a particular tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the home is to take out all large trees inside of close quarters. It can be expensive to remove a lot of trees near your Harriman NY home and often this eases the fear but leaves some remorse. Often fears can be soothed by having a tree service expert examine the trees to make certain none of these have any defects that would make them a more 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 destroyer. 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 don’t have space on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can provide a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for every single dollar donated and you can also specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a few planted in a non harvest location within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
