Tips & Advice for Tree Removal Due to Storm Damage

Tree Removal for Storm Damage

Each year, tragic tales during storms emerge from various parts of the country, recounting individuals being harmed or losing their lives due to falling trees and branches. These trees were weakened or damaged by severe weather conditions. While not as severe as injuries or fatalities, fallen trees, and branches can also wreak havoc on residences and belongings, causing substantial damage or destruction.

This is a grave matter that demands attention. If your property has large trees, you likely seek guidance on handling tree damage following a storm—both in terms of prevention and effective measures for dealing with the aftermath.

Assessment of Trees After the Storm 

It is important to understand that tree damage can occur in various degrees. Let’s categorise it into three main groups: mild, moderate, and severe.

  • Mild Tree Damage 

This typically involves the loss of small branches that do not pose significant concerns. Some branches may be broken and the tree’s bark may be torn. Overall, the tree remains structurally intact.

  • Moderate Tree Damage 

Moderate tree damage involves the loss of significant branches, making the tree unstable. There may be hanging branches that pose a future risk. Although major damage may not have occurred, the tree’s structural integrity concerns arise.

  • Severe Tree Damage 

Severe tree damage encompasses situations where the tree has been uprooted and has already fallen or when a tree is leaning precariously, posing a high risk. Additionally, if a massive limb has crashed through a structure, it is considered severe damage.
