Help your trees survive during a severe weather event.

During severe weather, every tree limb, every branch and every leaf acts as a sail in the wind or a surface for snow and ice to attach. To help protect your trees from damage during a severe weather event, it is important to have your trees structurally pruned. 

Through structural pruning, the tree service expert will selectively prune back branches and limbs throughout the tree canopy. This type of pruning technique will lighted the load and reduce the torque on the tree limbs and trunk. 

A tree service expert would also know if it is wise to take the extra precautionary step of installing a safety cable. Safety cabling is performed to brace large tree limbs or leads to each other. During a severe weather event, a tree limb or lead that is braced will gain support from the adjacent limb it is cabled to.
