Reducing the Risk of Tree Damage from Storms

If you want to avoid the need for tree removal in Casey this season, there are several steps that you can take to help reduce your risk of tree damage. Warm weather often brings wind and rain, but proper tree care can help you avoid fallen and broken trees despite summer storms.

Pruning

Winds of the same strength can cause damage to one of your trees, but may leave others around it unharmed. This is because the wind affects each tree uniquely. Trees that have dense foliage and many branches are going to obstruct more wind and are more likely to suffer breakage than trees with fewer leaves and branches. Proper tree pruning reduces the risk of your trees suffering damage from summer storms. Tree service professionals can prune your trees in a way that reduces the amount of drag they create, helping to protect them from damage. If you’re planning to plant more trees, consider planting them in groupings so they can buffer one another against windy weather.

Mulching

If your area receives severe storms each year, the root systems of your trees may be compromised. High winds can weaken the root systems of trees, even if they are healthy and established. To provide your trees with an extra layer of protection during storm season, surround their bases with mulch. Mulching will help keep your trees rooted firmly in the ground by providing protection from the wind.

Bracing

If you have young or unstable trees, they may benefit from staking. A staking system helps secure trees into the ground while their root systems are still developing or if they have been damaged. For established trees that have structural issues, cables, braces, and props can be used to support the weight of vulnerable branches and trunks. These systems should only be used if there is a good chance they will adequately support a tree despite stormy weather. Trees that are highly unstable can pose a safety hazard for your home and family and may need to be removed.
