Make Sure TREES Are TRIMMED & Secure Before A Hurricane or Severe Storm!

Trim trees before hurricane or severe storms

It’s important to ensure trees are trimmed and secured before any upcoming storms by checking for signs of disease & decay, dead limbs, hanging branches or other damage. Pruning and securing any loose branches can help reduce potential hazards to your business or home. Identifying and removing dead limbs from trees is important for safety and the overall health of the tree. These tree limbs are more prone to breaking and causing further property damage. Regularly inspecting and pruning #deadtreelimbs can prevent accidents.

During your tree inspection, be on the lookout for any discoloration, especially a darker spot where water seems to be seeping out. This could indicate a potential limb flaw, which in turn could lead to limb failure. Identifying and addressing these issues early on can help prevent potential tree hazards and ensure the safety of your property.

When it comes to tree safety, it’s important to keep an eye out for leaning trees. Even without strong winds, trees with limbs leaning towards your home or areas where people gather can pose a safety hazard. If you’re unsure about the strength of your tree, it’s best to get a professional opinion.

It’s also crucial to keep trees a safe distance from power lines to reduce the risk of outages. In #Louisiana, trees are a common cause of power outages. To minimize the risk, it’s recommended to keep tree limbs away from your home and power lines. #TreeTrimming near power lines should be left to professionals to avoid accidents. During storms, fallen trees or branches can pose a danger to power lines, leading to outages and other hazards. If you notice a fallen tree or branch on a wire, contact your electric company and a qualified #LouisianaArborist immediately to assess the situation and determine the best course of action.
