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 still a good idea to have every tree that has lost a substantial limb inspected by a tree professional who may do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of cost. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees render decreases cooling expenditures in the summer season and provides a barrier from the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees beside houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and rewire the loft. In cases where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or siding.

At times when a tree is too near to a property we can simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if many limbs need to be cleared away it might cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply make a decision on a more suitable location.

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

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their scale trees can overshadow smaller plants. House owners should go for bushes or shrubs that will tolerate the competition for direct sunlight and water or they have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well beneath a tree could be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only do well in full sun light. Even though it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you really like the tree you might consult a landscape expert about changing to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location can certainly increase a property’s market value the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. Oftentimes we can greatly 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 house from the road. Having said that in certain cases to enhance the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times two things can not really inhabit the same site. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Often in these circumstances tree removal is the sole alternative and if you are really feeling down about removing your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Even though it does not mature in our life time our kids or someone else’s kids may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not legal professionals but here is insights on how falling trees are often translated according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree dropping down. You clear away the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his premises. You are actually only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a provision saying that they are not responsible for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s residential property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your residence you can use the written notification to position the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many individuals that like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance company with the quantity of calls we get searching for a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Every one wants to have a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive ones I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are much worse compared to not having gutters at all. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow onto 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 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 often remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy night-times because of a certain tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over their property. Unfortunately the sole way to guarantee a tree will never fall on the home is to remove all large trees inside of close quarters. It may be downright costly to remove a load of trees near your Harriman NY home and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Often fears can be calmed by having a tree service expert examine the trees to make sure none of them have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Simply plant a new native tree at a better location on your estate and you are doing your part to renew the growth cycle. If you do not have room on your property but still wish to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They sow a tree for each dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a few planted in a non harvest site within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
