Common Types of Tree Damage Caused by Storms

Several types of tree damage can be caused by storms, including:

• Broken branches: Strong winds can completely break or snap branches off the tree.
• Uprooted trees: Heavy rains and strong winds can loosen the soil around the tree roots, causing the tree to uproot and fall over.
• Crown damage: The top of the tree or the crown can be damaged by wind, lightning, or hail.
• Trunk damage: Strong winds or falling debris can split, cracked, or broken the tree trunk.
• Leaning trees: Strong winds can cause trees to lean or bend in a direction they usually wouldn't.
• Root damage: Heavy rains or floods can wash away the soil around the tree roots, exposing them to the elements and causing damage.
• Bark damage: Hail, strong winds, or falling debris can damage the bark of a tree, leaving it vulnerable to pests and disease.
• Limb failure: Overburdened branches can break off, leading to limb failure and structural damage.

It's essential to address any tree damage as soon as possible to prevent further problems and to ensure the safety of people and property around the affected tree. Contact our team today to find out more about what we’ll do to restore value to your landscape.

Why Removing Broken Branches Is Important

Broken branches left unattended post-storm can pose serious risks to your property and compromise the safety of its occupants. These remnants can become potential hazards during subsequent storms, causing further damage to structures and vehicles. They could even pose harm to individuals. Additionally, decaying or diseased branches may attract pests and compromise the health of the entire tree.

Our expert team emphasizes the importance of timely removal to mitigate these risks, promoting a safer environment and preserving the longevity of your landscape.

Why a Leaning Tree Needs to Go

A leaning tree is a potential hazard that should not be overlooked. The structural integrity of a tree compromised by a storm can lead to a heightened risk of collapse, especially during adverse weather conditions. The lean increases the likelihood of the tree falling in an unintended direction and ultimately falling over.

If you have a leaning tree on your property, we want to help. Our arborists will assess the tree's stability and provide expert guidance on the necessary course of action, ensuring all risks are mitigated quickly. If we determine the only solution is to remove it, we will walk you through our process, fees, and timeline before execution. When we wrap up our service, you can breathe easy knowing your yard has no lingering liabilities.

Factors That Determine if a Wind-Damaged Tree Can be Saved

What determines whether or not a wind-damaged tree can be saved? Here are some of the factors our tree experts look at to determine if a tree can safely remain standing or if it’ll need to be removed:

• Severity of damage: The extent of damage to the tree is a crucial factor in determining whether it can be saved. When damage is extensive, such as the trunk being split or major branches being broken, it may not be possible to save the tree.
• Location of damage: The location of the damage on the tree can also impact its ability to recover. When damage affects major branches or the trunk, it may be difficult for the tree to heal and recover.
• Age and health of the tree: Older trees or trees that were already in poor health before the damage occurred may not have the ability to recover as rapidly as younger, healthier trees.
• Tree Species: Some tree species are more resilient than others and may be better able to recover from wind damage.
• Time of year: When damage occurs during the growing season, the tree may have a better chance of recovering as it has more energy and resources to allocate toward healing.
• Access to sunlight and water: Trees that can still receive adequate sunlight and water may have a better chance of recovering from damage.

Why Is Post-Storm Tree Debris Removal Essential?

Once majestic trees can pose a major threat after they’ve been through a significant weather event. High winds, downpouring rains, and other factors can affect or shorten the natural lifespan of a tree due to damage.

Even if a tree hasn’t been completely toppled, that doesn’t mean you’re in the clear, other issues like insect infestation and a weakened trunk system can turn decorative and native tree species into a real hazard.

Post-storm tree debris removal is important for several reasons:

Safety

Fallen trees and branches can pose a severe safety hazard, blocking roads and sidewalks and potentially causing injury or damage to property. It's crucial to address these hazards as soon as possible to protect the safety of people and property in the surrounding area.

Accessibility

After a storm, tree debris can block access to roads and buildings, making it difficult or impossible for emergency responders and utility workers to reach affected areas. Removing the debris quickly can help restore access to these areas.

Preventing Further Damage

Dead or damaged trees and branches can continue to pose a threat even after the storm has passed. Removing these hazards can prevent further damage to nearby trees, buildings, and other property.

Curb Appeal

Storm damage affecting one or more of your trees can make an area look unsightly and negatively impact property values. Removing the debris can help restore the site to its pre-storm appearance.

Environmental Impact

Toppled and broken trees can have a negative impact on the environment, such as blocking waterways or impacting wildlife habitats. Proper removal and disposal of the debris can minimize these impacts.
