Quick Tips for Getting Your Trees Ready for Hurricane Season
When hurricane season arrives, severe winds can cause your trees to become major safety hazards. But by taking some basic precautions, you can mitigate the risk of your trees inflicting property damage or injuries during the storm. At Florida Tree Trimmers, we can complete tree work on your property to get your trees ready for hurricane season. Here are four ways to prepare your trees for the next big windstorm.
Cut Down Dead/Dying Trees
Before peak hurricane season is here, it’s particularly important that any dead or dying big trees are removed from your yard. Dead/dying trees are much more prone to crashing down in high winds, which could cause severe property damage and major injuries. Indications that a tree is dead or dying include: leaf loss, severe leaning, extensive fungal infections, and widespread insect damage.
Keep Your Trees Healthy Throughout the Year
It’s important to keep your trees in strong health throughout the rest of the year so that when a hurricane arrives, your trees will be better able to withstand the wind gusts. You’ll want to make sure your trees receive sufficient water and nutrients. And if a tree becomes afflicted by a fungal infection, you should bring it to the arborist’s attention ASAP so it can hopefully be treated before causing major health problems.
Professional Pruning
When big limbs are in poor health, they’re liable to break away in heavy winds, and may then crash down and cause damage to your roof or other structures/possessions in the area. During a professional pruning session, dead/dying limbs will be cut out so that this risk is mitigated.
Schedule a Visit from an Experienced Arborist Before/After Storm
Prior to hurricane season, our local arborists can address safety risks that your trees are creating. And after the storm passes, we can inspect your trees to make sure that they haven’t suffered any serious damage that needs to be addressed.
