Severe weather can leave trees damaged, unstable, or dangerously close to your home. After a storm, knowing what to look for—and when to call professionals—can save you stress and money. At ArbSmart Total Tree Care, we specialize in storm recovery and safe tree removal.

Common Storm Damage

• Split trunks and broken branches
• Uprooted or leaning trees
• Hidden cracks near the base
• Debris scattered across structures or power lines

When Removal Is the Only Option

A tree should be removed if:

• It’s structurally unsalvageable
• Roots are compromised
• It poses a direct safety hazard
• It’s beyond treatment due to disease or decay

Prevention Tips

• Schedule regular pruning and risk assessments
• Remove weak or dead limbs before storm season
• Maintain healthy soil and pest management
• Keep trees clear of power lines and structures
  

Storms are unpredictable—but your response doesn’t have to be. By preparing ahead and working with certified professionals, you can minimize risk and restore safety quickly. ArbSmart offers 24/7 emergency storm response and expert tree removal when you need it most.
