Tree Damage can be one of the saddest and most
worrisome results of any hurricane or severe storm. Trees are very important
for humans and the earth. In terms of safety they can be damage structures
during a hurricane.
Knowing which trees to plant,
where to plant them, and how to prepare existing trees for hurricane season can
greatly reduce the risk of lost or damaged trees.
There are some steps
you can take on your own, but for best results, rely on the experience of your tree service professional. Have a tree expert remove dead trees and dread tree limbs and
evaluate the health of trees near enough to fall on your (or your
neighbor's) house. Your
tree service professional is your greatest tool in preventative care to make less the damage.
Pruning is crucial
in allowing a tree to grow strong which reduces the factors of causing damage.
Trees need to be pruned selectively to allow wind passage, encourage strong
branch angles and encourage a healthy center of gravity so it doesn't incline and falls.
Another concern is leaf debris. Tree leaves and pine needles can clog house gutters. The excess water increases the weight in the gutters and may cause them to fail and clog. The pooling water can overflow and cause wood rot and even enter the exterior wall resulting in Sheetrock damage inside your home. Make sure gutters and downspouts are clean in advance of inclement weather. If you see plants growing in your gutters, it is time to clean them!
