Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are generally viewed as being sturdy and timeless, trees can easily become vulnerable in adverse weather such as storms & strong winds. Intense storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it additionally can result in expensive repair work.

The hardest option after a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less simple. The more challenging possibility is if any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been moderately injured in the storm may well pose a future hazard and may well have to be disassembled and disposed of to prevent placing property & people at risk in many months or years in the future.

Some other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most affected sections being ‘cut off’ exactly like how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other will need to get staked down with guy ropes or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be trusted to clear away the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction companies easy access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of damage causes an unique diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that can separate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are basically six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, causing the crown to fall or to bend strongly even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap below the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The complete crown basically turns into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a several secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much higher risk to fall even though it made it through the original storm.
