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: Usually storm damage may just be a broken limb that doesn’t compromise the tree but it is still a good idea to have any specific tree that has likely lost a large limb inspected by a tree professional who can possibly do a risk evaluation on the tree to verify more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We provide this service for free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always require tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals carry out free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a real “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees offer decreases cooling bills in the summer season and provides a buffer from the winter wind. Meanwhile the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees near to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to penetrate the attic. A homeowner of ours had us remove some trees touching 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 someone trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then needed to re-insulate and rewire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are actually touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can cause damaged shingles or siding.

Occasionally when a tree is too close to a property we can simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house but if lots of limbs need to be taken off it could cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In which case it may be more effective to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply consider a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots may clog up your septic system| or they can crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no other to prevent this other than tree removal it is always best to conduct some research or hire a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a house or driveway. Often people fail to understand 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 subsequent owner to require to locate a professional tree service to remove the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: Due to their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Home owners should pick bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunlight and water or they have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s maximum potential. Grass that is not performing well under a tree could be helped by increasing water and fertilizer but some grasses only flourish in full sunshine. Even though it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you love the tree you might just consult a landscape professional about switching to a different type of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the best tree in the right location can improve a homes worth the inappropriate tree can impact property’s value. In many cases we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is just simply getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. Unfortunately sometimes to enhance the curb appeal we will have to resort to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees at times 2 things can not occupy the very same spot. Such is the case of a tree and your new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Oftentimes in these scenarios tree removal is the only choice and if you are feeling depressed about taking out your favorite tree you can always plant another one. Albeit it will not mature in our lifespan our kids or somebody else’s children can appreciate it.

Liability issues: We are not lawyer or attorneys however this is the way falling trees are typically interpreted based upon the law. Assuming that the tree was not clearly dead or unhealthy you are not considered to be negligent or liable for the tree falling. You clear away the section of the tree that falls on your property and your next-door neighbor is obligated for tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only liable for your residential property in this instance. If the tree that falls is dead or unhealthy the neighbor could file suit and a few insurance policies have a clause saying that they are exempt for dead or unhealthy 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 about dead or diseased trees. On the other side 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 find out 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 place the cost of removal on your neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many homeowners who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter maintenance operation with the amount of telephone calls we get seeking out a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the low-cost kind I know typically aren’t insured and consequently I refuse to recommend them. At the same time clogged gutters are more frustrating than not possessing gutters whatsoever. Blocked 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 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 in the event that you get fed up with that we are a tree removal expert.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes 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 their residence. The fact is the only way to insure a tree doesn’t fall on the house is to take out all big trees inside of close quarters. It can possibly be expensive to remove a number of trees near your Harriman NY property and sometimes this eases the fear but leaves some regret. Often fears can be calmed by having a tree service expert evaluate the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a higher than normal threat. If a tree needs to be removed you really don’t need to beat yourself up for being a tree monster. Just plant a fresh native tree at a much 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 want 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 seeded in a non harvest place within New York and even choose to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
