Tree damage from storms can be a common problem, especially during severe weather conditions such as hurricanes, thunderstorms, and high winds. Here are some steps you can take to address tree damage after a storm:

  1. Assess the damage: After the storm has passed, take a close look at the trees on your property to assess the extent of the damage. Look for signs of broken or hanging branches, leaning or uprooted trees, and damage to the trunk or bark.
  2. Prioritize safety: If there are any immediate safety concerns such as hanging branches or uprooted trees that pose a risk of falling, prioritize those first and keep people and pets away from the area until they can be addressed.
  3. Call a professional: If the damage is extensive, it’s important to call a professional tree service to assess and address the damage. A certified arborist can safely remove broken or hanging branches, repair damaged trees, or remove trees that are beyond repair.
  4. Take steps to prevent future damage: Consider planting trees that are more resistant to storm damage in the future, and make sure to properly maintain your trees to reduce the risk of damage. Regular pruning and maintenance can help keep trees healthy and reduce the risk of damage during storms.

Getting trees cut back from power lines is important for safety reasons and to prevent power outages. Here are the steps you can take to get trees cut back from power lines:

  1. Contact your local utility company: The first step is to contact your local utility company and inform them about the trees that need to be cut back. They are responsible for maintaining the power lines and may have a specific process for handling these requests.
  2. Schedule an inspection: The utility company will likely schedule an inspection to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. They may also provide you with information on how far trees should be from power lines in the future to avoid similar issues.
  3. Hire a professional tree service: If the utility company determines that the trees need to be cut back, they may recommend or require you to hire a professional tree service to do the job. It’s important to hire a licensed and insured company to ensure the work is done safely and properly.
