Most damage to a property during severe weather occurs when limbs or trees fall. High winds and saturated soil conditions typical of summer storms can cause tree roots to fail and branches to weaken. During winter, the weight of ice and snow accumulation can be equally damaging, resulting in failure of branches and entire trees.
In many cases, hazards are not always obvious to the untrained eye and correcting them can be a dangerous job. While it is impossible to totally protect your trees and property from severe storms, Out On A Limb Tree Service can inspect for issues that could predispose trees to failure. This could include a climbing inspection or an analysis of decay that may be present in the branches, stems, or roots.
Treatment recommendations on storm damaged trees will depend on the type and extent of damage, plant health, species considerations, and potential for a reoccurrence of failure. Even if you routinely care for your trees, when a severe storm hits, be sure to have our arborist review your property for any issues resulting from the weather.
