Storm Recovery • DESCRIPTION: Heavy rain, lightning, high winds or a combination of any of these severe weather scenarios can damage your trees—from their root systems all the way to their branches and leaves. • BEST DEFENSE: Inspecting trees after storms is essential in ensuring strong, healthy trees. Proper pruning provides proper branch spacing and thins the tree canopy, allowing wind to blow through it instead of against it. Pruning also removes potentially hazardous, dead or weak branches. Suspect storm damage to your trees? Contact our professionally trained arborists for a free consultation.
