Storm damaged trees pose a serious threat and should be assessed as quickly as possible. Trees can be more damaged than they first look – branches battered by winds often fall without warning in the days following a storm. It is also worth bearing in mind that the upheaval of their roots can affect the stability of nearby trees.
A mature tree can easily weigh over 50 tonnes – removing it yourself is a really bad idea. Trees damaged in a storm can be highly unstable and unpredictable. We will assess the condition of your tree and offer expert advice on the best way forward. Depending on the amount of damage, our inspection may reveal part of the tree can be saved and, if that’s your preference, we’ll do it.
Pruning or repairing the crown of a damaged tree can restore its integrity and balance – this will encourage growth and return the tree to full health.
