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 idea to have any tree that has definitely lost a pretty big limb looked over by a tree professional who can do a risk evaluation on the tree to make sure more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service free of charge. Injured trees are most 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 property is a real “catch 22” scenario. On the one hand the shade which trees render lowers cooling expenditures in the summer time and provides a barrier from the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance part below). Trees close to houses can also enable unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to get into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching his house due to the fact that 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 clear away the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In cases where limbs are effectively in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or home siding.

Often whenever a tree is very near to a house we may just trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if a lot of limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case it may be more suitable to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or simply opt for 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 foundation. Since there is no other to stop this other than tree removal it is always advisable to do some research or consult a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to understand 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 next owner to require to hire a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Homeowners should choose bushes or shrubs which will tolerate the competition for sun light and water or they need to live with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sun light. Even though it may be less expensive to remove the tree| if you enjoy the tree you could seek advice from a landscape company about changing to a different type of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the appropriate location may increase a homes worth the inappropriate tree can damage property’s value. In many cases we can enhance the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically clearing away the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your property from the road. Unfortunately sometimes 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 location. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Often in these situations tree removal is the sole choice and if you are feeling down about extracting your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Even though it does not mature in our lifespan our kids or someone else’s children can enjoy it.

Liability issues: We are certainly not attorneys but this is the way in which falling trees are usually interpreted according to the law. In the case that the tree was not clearly dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or to blame for the tree dropping down. You clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable with regard to tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is dead or diseased the neighbor could sue and some insurance policies have a clause pointing out that they are not responsible for dead or unhealthy 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 clause concerning dead or diseased trees. On the flip side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to safeguard yourself is to advise them in writing and let them find out 99 % of competent tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your house you can use the written notice to place the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many homeowners who like to clean out gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance business with the quantity of calls we get searching for a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive ones I know typically aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are much worse compared to not having gutters whatsoever. Blocked 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. Alternatively clean them yearly shortly 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 often times remove trees because some people lay awake on stormy nights because of a specific tree or trees that shake in the wind and looms over the house. Unfortunately the only way to insure a tree does not fall on the home is to take out all big trees within striking distance. It could be downright costly to remove a bunch of trees near your Harriman NY home and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves some regret. Commonly fears could be calmed by having a tree service company evaluate the trees to ensure none of these have any flaws that would make them a higher than normal threat. In the event that a tree needs to be removed you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree killer. Just plant a fresh 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 want to make a contribution you can make 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. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest place within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
