BLOG Storm Shield: Preparing Your Trees for Extreme Weather Jul 12, 2024

Living in an area prone to extreme weather conditions can pose a risk to your trees. Severe storms, hurricanes, strong winds, and heavy snowfall can all take a toll on your landscape, potentially leading to damaged trees and fallen branches if proper precautions are not taken. As a customer of Licensed to Cut, it's essential to prepare your trees for any upcoming extreme weather events by implementing the following storm shield measures.

1. Regular Tree Maintenance: The key to ensuring your trees can withstand extreme weather is to keep them healthy and well-maintained. Regular tree trimming and pruning help to remove dead or weak branches, reducing the risk of them falling during a storm. Licensed to Cut offers professional tree services to help keep your trees in top condition.

2. Evaluate Tree Structure: Some trees are more prone to storm damage due to their structure or weak branches. It's crucial to have an arborist assess your trees' health and structure to identify any potential risk factors. Licensed to Cut can provide expert advice on which trees may need additional support or extra care.

3. Tree Cabling and Bracing: For trees with weak or heavy branches, cabling and bracing systems can provide additional support to help prevent them from breaking during strong winds. Licensed to Cut's experienced team can install these systems to protect your trees from storm damage.

4. Mulching and Fertilizing: Proper mulching and fertilizing can improve the health and resilience of your trees, making them more resistant to extreme weather conditions. Licensed to Cut offers professional tree care services to enhance the health and vitality of your landscape.

5. Emergency Response Plan: Despite the best precautions, storms can still cause unexpected damage to your trees. It's essential to have an emergency response plan in place to address any tree-related issues quickly and effectively. Licensed to Cut offers 24/7 emergency tree services to help you deal with storm damage promptly.
