As Texas residents, we know that storm season can bring high winds, heavy rain, and even hail, all of which can pose significant risks to our trees and landscapes. At Forest Tree Service LLC, we believe in proactive tree care to protect your property and ensure that your trees are resilient against the elements.
Inspect Your Trees for Structural Weaknesses
Before storm season hits, take the time to assess the trees on your property. Look for dead or broken branches, signs of disease, leaning trunks, or decay at the base. These structural weaknesses can make trees more vulnerable to high winds and heavy rains.
Prune Strategically for Better Wind Resistance
Regular tree pruning is one of the best ways to prepare your trees for storms. By removing dead or damaged branches, you reduce the risk of breakage during high winds. Thinning out the crown of the tree also helps wind to pass through more easily, lowering the likelihood of wind damage.
Consider Cabling or Bracing for Added Support
For large trees or trees with multiple trunks, cabling or bracing can provide additional support. This technique involves installing cables or braces in the tree to help redistribute the weight and strengthen vulnerable areas.
Evaluate Tree Removal for Severely Compromised Trees
At Forest Tree Service LLC, we prioritize safety and offer safe, efficient tree removal services. Our experts can help you decide if a tree is too far gone to weather the storm or if there are other measures we can take to preserve it.
Secure Young or Newly Planted Trees
Younger trees are often more vulnerable to strong winds, so it’s essential to give them extra support. You can use stakes or ties to secure them, making sure not to bind the trunk too tightly, which can restrict growth. As the tree matures and establishes stronger roots, it will be better equipped to withstand storms.
Know When to Call Forest Tree Service
Storm damage can be unpredictable, and sometimes even well-maintained trees can suffer. After a storm, it’s crucial to inspect your property for damage and hazards. If you spot a downed or unstable tree, avoid trying to remove it yourself—tree removal and cleanup after a storm can be dangerous without the right equipment and expertise. Our team is available to handle post-storm cleanup, including tree removal, pruning, and debris clearance. We’re here to help keep your property safe and restore your landscape to its pre-storm beauty.
