Post-Emergency Tree Care Tips

Keep Your Trees Healthy After a Storm

Caring for your trees after a storm or natural disaster is crucial to ensure their recovery and long-term health. Even if they haven't fallen, it's still essential to have them assessed by a certified arborist to determine the best course of action. 

At Leatherface Tree Service, we begin by thoroughly evaluating your trees. We check for any visible damage, such as broken branches, signs of disease, or split trunks. 

Depending on the results of our assessment, we may perform various services to restore the health of the trees and improve their stability. These may include:

  • Tree Trimming: We remove dead, diseased, or overcrowded branches that can weigh down the tree, promote disease spread, and pose safety risks. This also stimulates new, healthy growth.
  • Bracing and Cabling: By strategically installing cables and braces, we can redistribute weight and stress throughout the tree, preventing vulnerable branches from breaking and potentially causing damage to property or injuries.

Here are some measures you can take to care for your trees after a storm: 

  • Apply Mulch: This provides your trees with extra nutrients to aid their recovery. Mulching strengthens their root systems and promotes robust growth as well as prevents weeds. 
  • Monitor for Signs of Stress: Observe your trees for signs of stress or disease in the weeks following the storm. Look for discolored leaves, unusual growth patterns, and pest infestations. Early detection and treatment can prevent long-term damage and help your trees recover quickly.
  • Water Adequately: Watering is essential, especially if the storm causes dry conditions or soil erosion. Ensure your trees receive adequate moisture, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

FAQs

How much do your tree services cost?

The cost depends on the type of service you need and the extent of work needed to be done as well as factors like the tree’s species and size. We recommend reaching out to us for a free estimate so you can have a better idea of how much our services would cost.

How often should I get my trees trimmed?

Regular tree trimming or pruning is essential for maintaining tree health and safety. The trimming frequency can vary depending on several factors, including the trees' species, maturity, and health. For precise guidance, consult our ISA-certified arborist, Richard Lavery.

Is tree removal always necessary for a dead or damaged tree?

Not always. Some dead or damaged trees can be saved through cabling, bracing, or other approaches. Our certified arborist can assess the tree's condition and recommend the best way forward.

What happens to the stump after tree removal?

After removing a tree, we offer stump vices to eliminate the stump. This process grinds the stump to below ground level, allowing you to reclaim the space for other uses.

How do I know if my tree needs cabling and bracing?

If you notice your tree has large, heavy limbs that are at risk of breaking, or if it has a significant split or weak fork in the trunk, it may benefit from cabling and bracing. Our certified arborist can assess your tree and determine if these methods are necessary to ensure its stability and safety.
