Storm Season Preparation: Securing Your Trees

A major storm just hit your property. Here's what to do first—and why professionals matter.

Immediate Safety First

Do not enter areas with:

  • Downed power lines or electrical hazards
  • Unstable trees or hanging branches
  • Debris piles (may contain hidden hazards)
  • Damaged structures or weakened foundations

Call the Professionals

Storm cleanup is one of the most dangerous jobs. Never DIY this work. Professional crews have:

  • Proper safety equipment and training
  • Insurance covering storm-related work
  • Heavy equipment for debris removal
  • Ability to work 24/7 during emergencies

Act Quickly

After major storms, professional crews get overwhelmed. Calling early ensures faster response:

  • Faster removal means lower injury risk
  • Prevents secondary damage (rot, infestations)
  • Restores property access sooner
  • Helps with insurance documentation

Document Everything

For insurance claims, take photos and videos before cleanup begins. Professional crews can also provide damage documentation.

Complete Restoration

Professional storm cleanup includes:

  • Tree removal and chipping
  • Debris collection and hauling
  • Site clearing and grading
  • Damage assessment for insurance

Don't wait—contact professionals immediately after a storm. Your safety and quick recovery depend on it.
