⚡ Introduction
April marks the start of storm season — and trees that look “mostly fine” can become dangerous under high winds. Addressing risks now protects your home, vehicles, and family.
🌳 1. Dead or Hanging Branches
These are the first to fall during storms.
Signs:
- No buds
- Brittle wood
- Branches hanging or cracked
Remove them immediately.
🌲 2. Trees Growing Too Close to Structures
Branches near roofs or siding can cause thousands in damage.
Look for:
- Branches touching your home
- Limbs overhanging driveways
- Trees leaning toward structures
🌬️ 3. Weak Branch Unions
V‑shaped branch connections split easily in wind.
If you see cracks or separation, cabling may be needed.
🌱 4. Root Problems
Storms easily topple trees with compromised roots.
Warning signs:
- Soil heaving
- Exposed roots
- Mushrooms at the base
🌩️ Conclusion
A quick April inspection can prevent storm‑related emergencies. TreeSolve can identify risks and recommend safe, cost‑effective solutions.
