Autumn Storms & Tree Safety on Your Property
Autumn is here – bringing with it the cooler air, changing leaves, and unfortunately, a lot more wind and wild weather. While the season can be beautiful, it also tends to kick up a fair bit of trouble when it comes to your trees and garden.
Windy days and stormy nights are part and parcel of this time of year, and while some storms are mild, others can be intense – and all of them have the potential to cause damage if your trees haven’t been properly maintained.
Don’t Let the Wind Do the Pruning
One of the biggest risks during storm season is weakened or overgrown branches. If a tree hasn’t been checked regularly, it’s easy for small issues to turn into big problems. Loose or damaged branches can snap off in strong winds, causing serious damage to homes, fences, cars – and worst of all, potentially injuring someone on your property.
Weakened or leaning trees are also a major risk. It might look stable at a glance, but under the pressure of wind and rain, even a mature tree can give way if the structure isn’t sound.
Prevention Is Better Than Clean-Up
The good news? Most of this is preventable with regular maintenance. As part of our monthly maintenance plans, we keep your trees trimmed, tidy, and safe. We spot the issues before they become problems – cutting back older growth, clearing out deadwood, and making sure everything on your property is secure and storm-ready.
By staying on top of things month to month, we help you avoid last-minute panic and emergency damage. It’s peace of mind – and it means fewer unexpected bills from falling limbs or clean-up crews.
