Tree & Shrub Storm Protection

The mature trees on your property are often subject to damage from high winds and severe thunderstorms. Storm protection for your trees is an easy thing to put off, thinking it won’t happen to you. But the truth is that millions of irreplaceable specimen trees are lost or badly disfigured each year from storm damage.

Storm protection can be as simple as selective pruning to allow for better wind movement through the canopy, or it can include bracing and cabling to provide support for a weak tree crotch. Lightning protection systems can also be installed to safeguard your trees against devastating electrical charges.

Remember, trees take generations to mature, but a storm takes only moments to destroy their beauty, usefulness and value. If you haven’t had an evaluation of your trees to determine their risk of sustaining storm damage, now is the time to do it. After all, the cost of surgically repairing damaged trees is often far more than the cost of taking reasonable preventative measures in advance.
