Storm Tree Removal
Introduction to Storm Tree Removal
Mother Nature is unpredictable and can be unyieldingly forceful, often resulting in significant property damage from storms. Trees, in particular, bear the brunt of the weather, and intense storms can potentially uproot or damage them, posing significant risks.
Fallen trees can obstruct roads, damage structures, and in worse cases, pose a threat to lives. Notably, dealing with storm-damaged trees isn't as simple as cutting them down. You require an in-depth understanding of tree physiology, the impact of the storm, and expertise in safely removing the tree without causing further damage. This is where we, Prunly Tree Trimming & Landscaping Company, come into play. Whether you're a homeowner or a property manager, this guide will equip you with the critical knowledge needed to efficiently handle tree damage resulting from storms.
Understanding Storm Damaged Trees
During severe storms, wind power can significantly impact trees leading to various types of damages, even for those that appear resilient.
How Storms Damage Trees
Uprooting
Intense storm winds often put enormous stress on trees, particularly if the ground is saturated with water. This, combined with poor root systems or structurally weak trees, often results in whole trees becoming uprooted.
Branch Breakage
Powerful winds and a heavy accumulation of ice or snow can cause massive branches to snap-off. Not only are these branches hazardous when they fall, but their removal can also be tricky depending on their size and location.
Split Trunks
Several tree species have multiple trunks or significant limbs originating from the same point. Increased pressure from high winds or loads of ice and snow can cause the tree's trunk to split, posing a significant risk.
The Problem with Damaged Trees
Risk of Falling
Damaged trees are unpredictable and can collapse unexpectedly, posing significant threats. They can fall onto power lines, homes, cars, or even people, leading to catastrophic consequences.
Disease and Infestations
Storm-damaged trees offer an easy entry point for diseases and insects. These can deteriorate the trees’ health, and in worst cases, even spread to nearby healthy trees. Check our Tree Disease Treatment for more information.
Deterioration of Property Value
Unsightly damaged trees can notably decrease your property’s aesthetic value and, consequently, its market value.
Why Professional Help is Needed for Storm Tree Removal
While you may be tempted to remove storm-damaged trees by yourself to save time and money, it’s not advisable. Storm tree removal is complex and risky, requiring specific tools and trained professionals.
Reasons to consider professional help
Professional tree services firms, like Prunly, have experienced and trained professionals who understand the intricacies of tree removal following a storm. They have skills and expertise to safely remove the trees. We also have proper equipment and insurance cover, ensuring your property remains safe during the process.
Expertise
Understanding the physics of storm-damaged trees is crucial for safe removal. Professionals assess the damage and the tree’s stability, then incorporate precautions accordingly to avoid causing further damage.
Tools
Tree removal requires a variety of tools, from power-saws to cranes and wood chippers, that most homeowners do not own. Hiring professionals eliminate the need to purchase these tools or the need to use inappropriate tools that can heighten the risk.
Insurance
Professional tree service companies like Prunly have appropriate insurance coverage. This protects homeowners from liability in case of injuries or further property damage during the tree removal process.

The Scope of Storm Tree Removal
Storm tree removal is a broad and complex service that goes beyond simply cutting down and hauling away damaged trees. At Prunly, our storm tree removal services are all-encompassing and are tailored to ensure that each situation is dealt with meticulously and professionally.
Detailed Damage Analysis
Our storm tree removal services start with a comprehensive damage assessment. Our team of arborists evaluate the level of damages on each tree, scrutinizing for both visible and hidden damages. For instance, a tree may appear to have suffered only minor exterior bark damage, when in reality it could have sustained more serious structural damage that isn't immediately visible to the untrained eye.
Using their expertise and experience, our arborists can detect such hidden problems, ensuring that no potentially dangerous tree is left standing. Through this analysis, we provide you with an in-depth understanding of the status of trees on your property, allowing you to make informed decisions about their removal and treatment.
Customized Tree Removal Approach
Depending on the severity and location of the damage, not all storm-damaged trees require the same removal method. Some may only need trimming or pruning, while others might need a more intricate removal involving a crane.
Our Prunly team designs a customized approach for each situation. For less damaged trees, a little pruning might be all that's needed to stabilize them. In more severe cases—like when a tree is leaning precariously over a building or power line—we utilize more advanced equipment and techniques to ensure a safe and secure removal.
Safe and Efficient Removal
At Prunly, safety is our priority when carrying out storm tree removal. Our team uses specialized equipment to cut, dismantle, and remove storm-damaged trees piece by piece. To minimize the damages to your property or neighboring areas, we use cranes and other professional tools to lower large branches or tree sections carefully to the ground.
Stump Removal and Land Restoration
Post tree removal, we strive to restore your land back to its original state. We provide stump grinding to remove leftover tree stumps, making your land usable again and eliminating the risk of tripping accidents. This process also prevents stump sprouting and helps keep your landscape free from pests that might take refuge in leftover stumps.
In addition, we offer topsoil and seeding services to repair the patches of land where stumps have been removed. We understand that a storm can wreak havoc on your landscape, so we do our best to help get your land back to shape.
Post-Removal Counseling
It's not unusual for property owners to feel overwhelmed after storm damage. Trees that once enhanced your property's appearance may now be a source of risk and worry. Therefore, in addition to removing trees, we also give advice on replanting. We suggest appropriate trees that are native to your location and resilient to storms, providing your landscape with the aesthetic and ecological benefits of trees without the associated risks.
Futuristic Approach
While it's crucial to address the immediate damage that the storm has caused, it's also essential to prepare for the future. Our tree cabling and bracing service helps to reduce the risk of damage in future storms. This service strengthens weak limbs and keeps them from posing a danger in high winds, heavy snow, or under the weight of their own growth.
At Prunly, we also believe in preventive measures. We offer routine tree inspection and maintenance services, detecting potential problems before they escalate into major issues during storms. This proactive approach can help save you time and resources in the long run.
Wrapping Up
Nature's rage can leave a lasting impact on your property, demanding quick and expert intervention to deal with the aftermath. Prunly's professional storm tree removal service is designed to alleviate the worry and confusion you may experience following a storm. We handle everything from initial assessment, secure removal, cleanup, and even taking precautionary measures for future storms.
