Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and deal with a fallen tree, as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they are often seen as being really durable and everlasting, trees can certainly end up being defenceless in extreme weather such as strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and strong winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it also may cause expensive renovations.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less straightforward. The more challenging choice is whether some of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially damaged in the storm might pose a future risk and might have to be cut down and took away to prevent placing people and property at risk in many months or years in the future.

Other trees can be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘amputated’ just like how an operating surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Others may require to be staked with guy wires or held up with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree specialists can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction companies easy access to the property to begin restorations on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of damage leads to a distinct prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to fail to notice a small detail that might just separate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 sorts of storm damage that a tree can’t normally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to come down or to bend violently whilst the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree tear underneath the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown ultimately becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a very much higher danger to drop even if it got through the initial storm.
