Storm Damage Tree Removal

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

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are generally viewed as being solid and everlasting, trees can easily end up being vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also can result in expensive repair work.

The toughest decision following a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much easy. The more difficult decision is if any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been moderately injured in the storm might pose a potential threat and may well need to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid placing property & people in danger in months or even years ahead.

Some other trees maybe preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked with guy cables or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree specialists can be trusted to take away the affected trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building crews access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of damage leads to a varied outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to miss a small detail that can differentiate one verdict from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, resulting in the crown to fall or sag violently even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap below the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The complete crown essentially ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a several secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably increased risk to drop even though it survived the original storm.
