Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified tree surgeon. Untrained individuals should not attempt to 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.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they are usually taken as being really sturdy and permanent, trees may come to be vulnerable in extreme weather such as strong winds & storms. Intense storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also may cause costly restorations.

The most difficult decision after a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less straightforward. The tougher choice is whether or not any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been in part injured in the windstorm may well pose a potential future risk and may well have to be cut down and removed to prevent putting people & property at risk in several months or years to come.

Other trees can be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst injured parts being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Some other may require to get staked with guy ropes or supported with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree specialists can be relied upon to clear away the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building companies easy access to the building to begin repair work on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of problem leads to a different diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that might separate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are generally six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, leading to the crown to fall or to sag strongly whilst the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree crack underneath the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with very lopsided crowns. The full crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a number of secondary effects including 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 much higher danger to fall despite the fact that it endured the original windstorm.
