As the leaves fall and winter approaches, now is the ideal time to ensure your trees are strong, healthy, and storm-ready. High winds and heavy rain can quickly expose hidden weaknesses, turning a once-beautiful tree into a serious safety risk.
The certified arborists at Elm Landscaping and Tree Surgery Services recommend a professional inspection before the harsh weather sets in. Trees weakened by disease, decay, or structural damage may appear healthy to the untrained eye - but can fail suddenly when stressed by wind or saturated soil.
One of the most common hazards is deadwood - branches that have died and lost their strength. These limbs can fall without warning, posing risks to people, pets, and property. Because deadwood is often concealed within the canopy, a qualified tree surgeon should carry out a thorough assessment and remove any dangerous branches safely.
In some cases, tree removal may be necessary if disease or severe structural decay is present, as these issues compromise the stability of the tree and increase the risk of sudden failure.
Regular pruning and maintenance not only improve safety but also enhance the long-term health and appearance of your trees. Preventative care can save you from costly repairs and damage when storms arrive.
