Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified tree surgeon. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are often considered as being really strong and everlasting, trees can easily end up being at risk in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Intense storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it also can cause expensive restorations.

The most difficult decision following a windstorm isn’t how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much easy. The more challenging choice is whether or not some of the trees still standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partially damaged in the storm may pose a future risk and might need to be disassembled and took away to prevent placing property and people in danger in many months or even years to come.

Other trees may be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to be staked with guy ropes or held up with various other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree contractors can be trusted to clear away the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction crews easy access to the building to begin restorations on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem results in an unique diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to miss a small detail that might just separate one decision from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six sorts of storm damage that a tree can’t generally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, making the trees crown to come down or bend violently while the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split underneath the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown essentially turns into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a very much greater danger to drop despite the fact that it made it through the initial storm.
