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 specific tree that has definitely lost a significant limb surveyed by a tree professional who can do a risk assessment on the tree to ascertain more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service for free. Injured trees are more likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and almost all true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a residence is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade which trees provide decreases cooling bills in the hot months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance costs to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees beside houses can also help unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A client of ours had us remove some trees touching on his house because 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 take out the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and afterwards had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

At times when a tree is too close to a property we will be able to just trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if several limbs need to be removed it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to take out the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or just think about a more suitable location.

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

Impact on surrounding landscape: Thanks to their overall size trees can dominate smaller plants. House owners should certainly go with bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunshine. Whilst it may be less costly to remove the tree| if you really love the tree you could speak with a landscape professional about changing to a different sort of grass to keep the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the most ideal tree in the proper location may improve a homes value the inappropriate tree can impact a home’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 home from the road. However in certain cases to improve the curb appeal we will have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not really inhabit the same site. Such is the scenario of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Oftentimes in these instances tree removal is the sole option and if you are feeling depressed about getting rid of your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Even if it doesn’t mature in our lifetime our kids or someone else’s kids may take joy in it.

Liability issues: Our people are certainly not legal professionals however here is the way falling trees are typically interpreted based upon the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not considered to be negligent or to blame for the tree dropping down. You dispose of the part of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is liable when it comes to tree removal and repairs to his property. You are actually only responsible for your residential property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the neighbor could sue and several insurance policies have a stipulation stating that these companies are exempt for deceased or diseased trees. If this were to happen you may 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 other hand if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect 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 position the expense of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know many people who like to clean gutters. We actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the amount of telephone calls we get looking for a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Everybody wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive ones I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. However clogged gutters are more frustrating than not having gutters whatsoever. Congested downspouts trigger the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes these to rot. So that requires you to install a gutter cap like http://www.leafguard.com or http://www.gutterguardian.com. Alternatively 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 times remove trees because some people lay awake on windy night-times because of a specific tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the sole way to make sure a tree does not fall on the house is to take out all big trees inside of striking distance. It may be pricey to remove a bunch of trees near your Harriman NY residential property and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves behind some remorse. Typically fears could be appeased by having a tree service professional assess the trees to make sure none of them have any defects 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 executioner. Just simply plant a fresh native tree at a far 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 every dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Chop down a tree in your yard and have a few cultivated in a non harvest place within New York or even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
