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 idea to take every tree that has lost a sizable limb evaluated by a tree professional that can do a risk assessment on the tree to ensure that more limbs aren’t injured and waiting to fall. We offer this service free of charge. Injured trees are most 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 total “catch 22” state of affairs. On the one hand the shade that trees render lowers cooling bills in the summer months and provides a barrier from the winter wind. On the other hand the decrease in sunlight can bring about mold and rotten wood causing repair and maintenance expenses to increase (this is addressed in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees alongside 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 owing to a family of squirrels which had gotten inside his attic and trampled his insulation and chewed electrical wires. He spent a lot of money having someone else trap and remove the squirrels| repair the holes they chewed in the roof eaves| and then had to re-insulate and re-wire the loft. In cases where limbs are effectively touching the house the constant swaying of the trees can lead to damaged roof shingles or home siding.

In some cases whenever a tree is very close to a property we may simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from your home but if several limbs need to be removed it may 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 pick and choose a more suitable location.

Tree roots cause a problem: Unfortunately tree roots will clog up your septic system| or they might crack your driveway| sidewalk| pool or home. Since there is no way to prevent this other than tree removal it is always advised to conduct some research or consult with a landscape professional when deciding on a location for trees around a property or driveway. Often people fail to comprehend 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: Because of their overall size trees can overshadow smaller plants. Homeowners should decide on bushes or shrubs which are able to tolerate the competition for sunshine and water or they will have to cope with a landscape not performing at it’s best potential. Grass that isn’t really performing well beneath a tree can be assisted by stepping up water and fertilizer but some lawns only flourish in full sun light. Whilst it may be less expensive to take out the tree| if you cherish the tree you may speak with a landscape company about switching to a different kind of grass to spare the tree.

Impact on home value:  While the right tree in the appropriate location may increase a homes market value the wrong tree can hurt a home’s value. Often times we can greatly improve the curb appeal of a property in the woods by raising the tree canopy which is merely removing the lower limbs which are blocking the view of your home from the road. However sometimes to improve the curb appeal we have to turn to tree removal.

Additions or Renovations: When it comes to trees often 2 things can not occupy the very same area. This is the instance of a tree and your brand-new garage| home expansion| driveway| etc. Oftentimes in these circumstances tree removal is the sole solution and if you are feeling down about extracting your beloved tree you can always plant another one. Even if it will not mature in our life-time our kids or someone else’s kids can enjoy it.

Liability issues: Our people are not legal representatives but here is the way falling trees are typically translated based upon the law. In the event that the tree was not obviously dead or diseased you are not deemed to be negligent or at fault for the tree dropping down. You remove the section of the tree that falls on your property and your neighbor is responsible with respect to tree removal and repair works to his premises. You are only liable for your property in this particular instance. If the tree that falls is perished or diseased the next-door neighbor could file suit and several insurance policies have a stipulation saying that they are not responsible for lifeless or unhealthy trees. If this were to happen you can be held accountable for damages to the neighbor’s property and your insurance will not pay if they have a stipulation concerning dead or diseased trees. On the other side if you have a next-door neighbor with a dead tree the very best way to protect 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 position the cost of removal on your next-door neighbor.

Maintenance: I don’t know of many individuals who like to clean gutters. We really could start a gutter cleaning company with the number of telephone calls we receive seeking out a good cheap gutter cleaning service. Almost everyone would like a cheap gutter cleaner but all the inexpensive ones I know aren’t insured and for that reason I refuse to recommend them. Nevertheless clogged gutters are worse compared to not having gutters at all. Clogged downspouts trigger the water to overflow into the face(fascia) boards and water trapped 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 after all the leaves have fallen and if you get fed up with that we are a tree removal specialist.

Peace of Mind: We oftentimes remove trees simply because some people lay awake on blustery night-times due to a specific tree or trees that rock in the wind and looms over their property. The fact is the sole way to insure a tree does not fall on the house is to remove all large trees within close quarters. It can be downright costly to remove a lot of trees near your Harriman NY home and often this eliminates the fear but leaves some remorse. Often fears could be appeased by having a tree service pro assess the trees to make sure none of these have any defects that would make them a more than normal threat. In the event that a tree requires to be removed you don’t 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 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 each dollar donated and you can even specify the location by US State or country. Cut a tree in your yard and have a couple cultivated in a non harvest place within New York and even opt to replant rainforests in Africa and Latin America.
