The fall months are a time when cooler, wetter weather expose trees to fungus and disease. Autumn is not the time to be pruning trees, but sometimes emergencies mean that they need care or even removal. To protect your property and trees, it important to do as little cutting as possible when taking care of storm damage problems. Here are some tips to help you with tree care during the fall months:
1. Trimming Trees and Preparing for Stormy Weather
With storms coming, being prepared is important. The trees around your home may be one of the biggest dangers to people and property. Before a storm comes with high winds, hail and debris, contact a tree trimming service to trim branches of trees that are a danger to your home. You want to have the trees closest to your home trimmed—removing the heaviest branches that are the most likely to break under high winds and cause damage to your property.
2. Tree Trimming and Removal of Hazards From Structures
If you do not have the hazards of tree branches removed before a storm, when a storm does come, they may fall on your home. When the tree branches fall and cause damage, it is a hazard to you. Have a tree service help with the removal of branches that have fallen on your property to ensure that they are removed safely. If there are utility lines damaged by trees, contact the utility company and a tree service to have them safely removed before you continue with other repairs.
3. Tree Removal After Storms Have Caused Damage to Property
With storms, wind and heavy rains cause soil to become soft and roots to lose their hold. This means that trees may fall or become a risk of falling. If a tree falls on your property, contact a tree removal service to help with the removal. The tree service can also help with inspecting trees that have been weakened by the storm and may be at risk of falling on personal property. It is a good idea to have trees removed that are a risk due to wind damage.
These are some tips that will help you with the best practices for dealing with your tree care during the autumn months. Contact a tree care professional to help with any emergencies to ensure trees stay healthy and do not become a danger to your property.
