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 have any specific tree that has likely lost a good sized limb checked out by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide 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 perform 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 provide decreases cooling costs in the summer and provides a buffer against the winter wind. However the decrease in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to grow (this is dealt with in more detail in the maintenance paragraph below). Trees alongside houses can also make it possible for unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A homeowner of ours had us take down some trees touching on his house because 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 someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In scenarios where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged roof shingles or home siding.

Sometimes when a tree is very near to a property we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from the house but if many limbs need to be cleared away it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be better to remove the tree and plant a different more compact growing tree or basically make a decision on a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or building. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or refer to a landscape company when choosing on a location for trees around a home or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend the mature growth size of a tree before they plant it or they might 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 proportions trees can overshadow much smaller plants. Property owners ought to pick bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they need to deal with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well underneath a tree can be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only do well in full sun light. Even though it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you enjoy the tree you might just consult a landscape company about changing to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the perfect tree in the appropriate location can easily boost a property’s market value the wrong tree can damage a home’s value. In many cases we can improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of the house from the road. Having said that in some cases to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees sometimes two things can not really occupy the very same location. Such is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Often in these instances tree removal is the only choice and if you are feeling depressed about removing your treasured tree you can always plant a different one. Albeit it will not mature in our life time our kids or somebody else’s kids may well take joy in it.

Liability issues: are not attorneys but here is the way in which fallen trees are basically interpreted according to the law. Assuming that the tree was not obviously dead or unhealthy you are not deemed to be neglectful or liable for the tree falling. You clear away the chunk of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is obligated for tree removal and repair works to his property. You are only responsible for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is perished or unhealthy the next-door neighbor could sue and a few insurance policies have a clause saying that they are not responsible for lifeless or diseased trees. If this were to happen you might be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a clause about dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a neighbor with a dead tree the best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them know 99 % of competent tree services will give a free evaluation. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notification to position the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many homeowners that like to clean out gutters. We actually could start a gutter maintenance operation with the number of calls we receive seeking out a good affordable gutter cleaner. Almost everyone wants to have a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost ones I know aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to recommend them. Having said that clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Blocked downspouts cause the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water caught 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. Otherwise 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 expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on stormy nights due to a certain tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the only way to make certain a tree will never fall on the house is to take down all large trees within striking distance. It can be costly to remove a bunch of trees near your Harriman NY home and sometimes this alleviates the fear but leaves behind some regret. Commonly fears can be calmed by having a tree service expert assess the trees to ensure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree requires to be removed you don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Simply plant a brand new native tree at a far better location on your property and you are doing your part to renew 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 dollar donated and you can even choose the location by US State or country. Fell a tree in your yard and have a couple seeded in a non harvest site within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
