When storm season approaches, safeguarding your property is crucial—especially your trees. At Midstate Tree Service, we understand how strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning can turn a healthy-looking tree into a serious hazard. That’s why proper tree care and preparation before the storm hits is essential.
1. Inspect for Weak or Dead Branches
Begin by visually inspecting all trees on your property. Look for cracked, hanging, or dead branches. These are more likely to break off in a storm and can cause significant damage to your home, power lines, or vehicles.
2. Schedule a Professional Tree Assessment
Not all problems are visible from the ground. Certified arborists from Midstate Tree Service can assess your trees for internal decay, root issues, and structural weakness that may not be obvious. An expert inspection ensures nothing is overlooked.
3. Trim and Prune Safely
Routine pruning not only shapes your trees but strengthens them. Removing excess or poorly attached limbs reduces wind resistance, making trees more stable during high winds. Proper trimming techniques also prevent water damage and mold buildup.
4. Remove Hazardous Trees Early
If a tree is diseased, dying, or leaning dangerously, don’t wait. Removing it before a storm could prevent thousands of dollars in property damage—and more importantly, prevent injuries. Our team is experienced in safe, efficient removals for all tree sizes and types.
5. Keep the Area Around Trees Clear
Avoid storing outdoor furniture, grills, or yard tools near trees during storm season. These items can become dangerous projectiles if branches fall or winds pick up.
