A pitfall to living in the subtropics is the ever-present threat of strong storms and hurricanes. It’s important to prepare your trees before a storm. High winds and rain can wreak havoc on weak and stressed trees, causing damage to your home and property.
Having a completely storm- or hurricane-proof yard is next to impossible, but decisions you make before a storm hits can determine how well your home or property survive 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.
“One important preventative measure you can take to ensure your safety as well as that of your property is to maintain your trees properly. A tree is a living, growing, changing thing, and its integrity and stability changes over time. Don’t assume that a tree that has survived numerous severe storms will necessarily survive another,” stated James Maltby, owner of Maltby’s Tree Service and Landscaping.
As 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.
“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 and, in some instances, the tree can actually protect the house itself by serving as a buffer,” 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 that storm does occur, your trees and property will be ready.
