The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they are generally considered as being sturdy and everlasting, trees can certainly become defenceless in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also will result in expensive restorations.

The toughest option following a windstorm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much easy. The more challenging decision is if any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partly damaged in the windstorm may well pose a future risk and may need to be chopped down and removed to prevent putting people and property in danger in several months or years to come.

Other trees can be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon will amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other might require to be staked down with guy wires or supported with other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree contractors can be trusted to remove the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building teams access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged structures and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of problem results in an unique prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are basically six types of storm damage that a tree can not usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, making the trees crown to fall or to lean violently even though the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break below the earth, resulting in the tree bending or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This takes place most commonly on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The complete crown basically turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a lot of secondary effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a much greater danger to fall despite the fact that it got through the initial windstorm.
