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 any tree that has likely lost a sizable limb examined by a tree professional who may do a risk evaluation 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 warrant tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals provide free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a property is a real “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees offer lowers cooling bills in the summer months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to increase (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees close to houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A client of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because a family of squirrels which had penetrated his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a bunch 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 re-wire the loft. In situations where limbs are effectively touching the house the continuous swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Often whenever a tree is very close to a house we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be cleared away it may cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to take out the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or basically select a more suitable location.

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

Impact on surrounding landscape: A result of their scale trees can dominate small plants. Property owners should pick bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s full potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree could be helped by stepping up water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sunshine. Even though it may be more affordable to remove the tree| if you love the tree you might speak with a landscape expert about switching to a different kind of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the most appropriate location can boost a homes market value the wrong tree can impact property’s value. Often times we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a building in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Unfortunately at times to improve the curb appeal we have to resort 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| front yard| etc. Oftentimes in these cases tree removal is the only alternative and if you are really feeling depressed about clearing away your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our children or someone else’s kids can take joy in it.

Liability issues: are certainly not lawyers however here is insights on how fallen trees are generally translated according to the law. On the assumption 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 clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are only liable for your property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a clause stating that these companies are exempt for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damage 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 advise 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 notice to place the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I do not know of many people who like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance company with the amount of phone calls we receive searching for a good inexpensive gutter cleaner. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-priced ones I know typically aren’t insured and for this reason I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are much worse than not having gutters at all. Congested 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 put in a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Otherwise clean them yearly soon after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We often remove trees simply 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 residence. Unfortunately the only way to make sure a tree does not fall on the home is to remove all large trees within striking distance. It can possibly be downright costly to remove a lot of trees near your Harriman NY house and often this eliminates the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Often fears can be soothed by having a tree service pro examine the trees to make certain none of them have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree executioner. 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 do not have room on your property but still would like to make a contribution you can make a donation to http://www.plantit2020.org They grow a tree for each dollar donated and you can also choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest area within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
