Florida was spared from severe damage as Tropical Storm Isaias just grazed the eastern seaboard on Sunday. Now, with the Atlantic Hurricane season advancing into its peak time, it’s more important than ever to be proactive about hazardous trees and shrubs on your property. Proper tree care and maintenance during this time of year is essential for the safety and protection of your home and family.
During hurricane season, the right tree in the right place may help protect your property from strong winds by acting as a buffer. Having a completely storm or hurricane-proof yard is next to impossible, but the decisions you make before a storm hits can determine how well your home or property survives the fiercest of storms. There are ways you can prepare your property for a hurricane and steps you can take to minimize the damage after a hurricane has occurred.
“Oftentimes the first thing we do before a storm is to stock up on essential supplies. Then we make sure our homes and families are protected. But we should also think about securing our source of shade and scenery: trees. An important preventive measure you can take to ensure your safety as well as that of your property is to maintain your trees properly,” stated James Maltby, owner of Maltby’s Tree Service and Landscaping.
High winds and heavy rain can wreak havoc on weak and stressed trees, causing branches to snap or trees to uproot. With any storm, there’s a chance for property damage to occur. Not all damage occurring during a storm is a result of high winds alone. Property damage can also be a result of falling trees and flying landscape debris. The key to minimizing your risk against property damage is storm preparedness.
Hurricane winds can easily cause trees and branches to fall on or near your home during a storm. Keeping plants trimmed and removing dead or damaged trees and limbs can help keep you and your home safe during a storm. A tree is a living, growing, changing thing, and its stability changes over time. Trees that have survived other severe storms might not necessarily survive another.
“It’s important to have your trees pruned. This is a proactive measure you can take to help reduce the risk of storm damage. The goal is to achieve a healthy and strong structure with an open canopy. This allows air to flow through the branches freely,” stated Maltby.
The professionals at Maltby’s Tree Service and Landscaping can easily assess the condition of your trees and property and then suggest the best course of action to take. They will then do the necessary work to bring your trees to optimal condition so when a storm does occur, your trees and property will be ready.
