Storm Damage Service
When storms strike, your trees can take a beating. Whether it’s high winds, heavy rain, snow, or ice, trees that are not properly maintained are more susceptible to damage, and this can pose serious risks to your property and safety. At Timber Wood Tree Service, we are equipped to handle all aspects of storm-related tree care, from emergency removal to preventive maintenance. Serving New York City and Long Island, we’re here to ensure that your trees—and your property—are protected before, during, and after a storm.
The Dangers of Storm Damage to Trees
Storms are unpredictable, but their impact on trees is often severe. The dangers of storm damage to trees can range from falling branches to complete tree failure, and in some cases, the damage can be catastrophic. Here are some of the most common storm-related tree hazards:
Fallen Trees: During high winds or flooding, trees with weak or unstable root systems may be uprooted entirely, falling onto homes, vehicles, power lines, or fences. This kind of damage can be expensive to repair and dangerous for anyone in its path.
Broken or Fallen Branches: Strong winds and heavy snow can cause tree branches to snap or break off, often resulting in damage to your property or posing an immediate hazard to pedestrians and vehicles. A large branch falling from a height can be lethal or cause significant damage to your roof, windows, or other structures.
Root Damage: Storms can loosen the soil around tree roots, making it easier for trees to topple. Particularly in areas with saturated soil after heavy rainfall or flooding, trees with shallow root systems are at risk of being uprooted.
Structural Weaknesses: Trees that are already weak due to disease, pest infestations, or poor health are much more likely to suffer storm damage. A tree with a hollow trunk or damaged bark is more vulnerable to wind and heavy rain, and may collapse with minimal stress.
How Timber Wood Tree Service Can Help After a Storm
When storm damage occurs, Timber Wood Tree Service is ready to respond quickly to help you mitigate damage and restore safety to your property. Our storm damage services are comprehensive, and we are available for emergency tree removal, limb cutting, and cleanup.
Emergency Tree Removal
If a tree has fallen or is at risk of falling, we provide immediate emergency tree removal services. Our team is available 24/7 to remove fallen trees from your property safely, whether they’ve landed on your house, driveway, or power lines. Our equipment and trained professionals ensure that the removal process is quick and efficient, minimizing the risk of further damage.
Tree Limb Cutting & Removal
If high winds or snowstorms have broken off branches or limbs, Timber Wood Tree Service can provide limb cutting and removal. We carefully remove broken branches that pose a threat to your property or safety, as well as those that are still partially attached but are unstable. After removing the limbs, we can also clean up debris and haul it away for you.
Stump Removal & Grinding
If your tree has been removed and you’re left with an unsightly stump, we provide stump grinding and removal services to clear the area. Stumps left behind after storm damage can be a tripping hazard or create space for new growth of undesirable vegetation. Our grinding service ensures that the stump is eliminated below ground level, allowing you to restore your landscape.
Tree Health Assessments
Post-storm, it’s crucial to assess the health of your remaining trees. A tree that survives a storm might still be weakened or at risk for future damage if it has sustained internal injuries. Our certified arborists perform thorough tree health assessments to identify any underlying issues, including root instability, internal decay, or branch damage. If necessary, we’ll recommend a course of action to address these concerns before they result in more serious damage down the line.
Preventing Storm Damage to Your Trees
While we’re always here to help in the aftermath of a storm, proactive tree care is the best way to prevent storm damage in the first place. At Timber Wood Tree Service, we provide ongoing maintenance and preventive services to strengthen your trees and protect your property.
Tree Pruning & Trimming
Regular tree pruning is one of the most effective ways to prevent storm damage. Overgrown trees with dense canopies are more susceptible to wind damage, while dead or diseased branches can break off during storms and cause injury or property damage. Pruning helps reduce the risk of these issues by removing weak, dead, or overextended branches. It also promotes healthy growth and ensures that the tree has a balanced structure that can better withstand storm conditions.
Cabling and Bracing
In some cases, trees with structural weaknesses, such as a split trunk or leaning branches, may benefit from cabling and bracing. These techniques involve installing support systems that help stabilize weak branches or trunks, reducing the risk of storm damage. This preventive service is especially important for older trees, large trees, or trees that have been previously damaged.
Root System Care
A strong root system is vital for tree stability, especially during high winds or heavy rain. We provide root care services, including soil aeration and root pruning, to encourage healthy growth and ensure that the tree has a firm grip in the ground. In areas prone to flooding, we can recommend species of trees that are better suited to handle wet conditions, or suggest soil amendments that improve drainage.
Tree Health Maintenance
A healthy tree is less likely to suffer from storm damage. Our tree health services include pest management, disease control, and soil treatments to ensure your trees are strong and resilient. Trees that are stressed due to pests or disease are more likely to become weak and unstable during a storm. Regular inspections and treatment plans help keep trees in top condition, minimizing the risk of damage in adverse weather.
