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 practice to take any tree that has definitely lost a large limb assessed by a tree professional who should do a risk assessment on the tree to check more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service totally free. Injured trees are most likely to fail/fall but injuries don’t always necessitate tree removal. We and most true tree service professionals make available free inspections.

Tree outgrows it’s area: Trees close to a home is a total “catch 22” situation. On the one hand the shade which trees render lowers cooling costs in the hot months and provides a barrier against the winter wind. Meanwhile the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood causing maintenance bills to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees next to houses can also permit unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter into the attic. A customer of ours had us remove some trees touching his house thanks to a family of squirrels which had gotten in his attic and tramped down his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He shelled out a lot of money having somebody trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| then afterwards needed to re-insulate and re-wire the attic. In scenarios where limbs are actually in contact with the house the constant swaying of the trees can result in damaged shingles or siding.

At times when a tree is too close to a home we will be able to simply trim or cut back the tree limbs away from your home but if lots of limbs need to be cleared away it might 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 basically decide on 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 property. Since there is no way to stop this other than tree removal it is always prudent to carry out some research or consult a landscape company when choosing 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 property before it reaches maturity leaving the next owner to require to locate a professional tree service to take out the tree.

Impact on surrounding landscape: As a result of their proportions trees can overshadow smaller plants. Home-owners ought to pick bushes or shrubs which have the ability to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to tolerate a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t performing well underneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only prosper in full sunlight. Although it may be less costly to take out the tree| if you really love the tree you may speak with a landscape company about switching to a different sort of grass to save the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the most appropriate location can certainly increase a property’s value the wrong tree can impact a home’s value. Often we can enhance the curb appeal of a house in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is basically getting rid of the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your house from the road. Unfortunately in certain 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 occupy the same area. This is the instance of a tree and your brand new garage| home expansion| front yard| etc. Generally in these cases 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 lifespan our children or someone else’s children may well appreciate it.

Liability issues: are not legal professionals however this is how falling trees are typically interpreted according to the law. If the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or to blame for the tree falling. You dispose of the section 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 dead or diseased the neighbor could file suit and some insurance policies have a stipulation stating that they are exempt for dead or diseased 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 other hand if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect yourself is to notify them in writing and let them find out 99 % of professional tree services will give a free assessment. Then if the tree falls on your home you can use the written notice to place the fee of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I really don’t know of many individuals who like to clean out gutters. We literally could start a gutter maintenance operation with the quantity of calls we get looking for a good inexpensive gutter cleaning service. Everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaning service but all the inexpensive ones I know typically aren’t insured and as a result I refuse to refer them. Unfortunately clogged gutters are much worse than not possessing gutters at all. Clogged up downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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 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 frequently remove trees because some people lay awake on blustery nights due to a particular tree or trees that move in the wind and looms over their residence. The fact is the sole way to insure a tree will never fall on the house is to clear away all big trees within close quarters. It may be costly to remove a load of trees near your Harriman NY residence and often this gets rid of the fear but leaves some remorse. Often fears can be appeased by having a tree service professional evaluate the trees to make certain none of these have any flaws that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be cleared away you do not need to beat yourself up for being a tree destroyer. Just plant a brand new native tree at a much better 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 each 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 place within New York or even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
