Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling a qualified tree surgeon.

The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are often seen as being durable and permanent, trees may become at risk in extreme weather like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing 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 & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also will result in costly repair work.

The toughest option following a windstorm is not how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty straightforward. The more challenging possibility is whether any of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm might pose a future risk and might need to be chopped down and took out to prevent putting people and property in danger in months or even years ahead.

Some other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked parts being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to get staked down with guy ropes or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

An unqualified amateur is far more going to fail to notice a small detail that might just separate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that reveals that the roots also failed.

There are generally six sorts of storm damage that a tree can not normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the crown to fall or to lean violently even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split beneath the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swinging noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This happens most frequently on trees with very lopsided crowns. The whole crown ultimately becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a several secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a considerably higher risk to drop even if it made it through the original windstorm.
