Benefits of Winter Tree Pruning

Your property may look intact after a heavy storm, but hidden dangers could lurk in your trees. While some damage is easy to spot, other risks aren’t as obvious. A tree that appears stable may have internal cracks, root damage, or weakened limbs that could fall without warning.

We specialize in professional tree removal, branch removal, and land clearing services at Wilderness Land Clearing to keep your property safe after a storm. Ignoring storm-damaged trees can put your home, family, and neighbors at risk. Here’s what you need to know about their dangers and how we can help.

1. Structural Weaknesses You Can’t See

Even if a tree looks unharmed after a storm, its structure may be compromised. High winds, heavy rain, or lightning can cause:

Internal cracks in the trunk, making the tree unstable.
Hidden rot or decay, weakening the tree over time.
Damaged roots, reducing the tree’s ability to stay anchored.

These issues can lead to tree failure weeks or even months after a storm. Our tree removal experts can identify and address these hidden dangers before they become a serious problem.

2. Increased Risk of Falling Limbs

One of the biggest risks after a storm is falling branches. Even small branches can cause significant damage if they fall on a home, vehicle, or person. Signs that a tree is at risk of losing limbs include:

Hanging or partially broken branches.
Large cracks in the trunk or major limbs.
Bark that appears to be peeling or missing in places.

At Wilderness Land Clearing, our branch removal services eliminate hazardous limbs before they cause harm. We’ll carefully assess your trees and remove any branches that could fall unexpectedly.

3. Disease and Pest Infestation

Storm-damaged trees are more vulnerable to disease and pests, which can quickly spread to healthy trees on your property. When branches break or trunks split, they create open wounds where fungi, insects, and decay can take hold. Common threats include:

Fungal infections that weaken the tree’s structure.
Wood-boring insects that accelerate decay.
Mold and mildew growth due to excessive moisture.

Left untreated, these issues can turn a once-healthy tree into a safety hazard. Our team provides tree removal and clearing services to prevent further damage to your landscape.

4. Leaning or Uprooted Trees

A tree that leans after a storm or has partially exposed roots is a serious hazard. Even if it hasn’t fallen yet, strong winds or another storm could bring it crashing down. Signs that a tree may need removal include:

Noticeable leaning that wasn’t there before.
Raised or broken roots on one side.
Soil disturbance around the base of the tree.

For your safety, do not try to remove a leaning tree on your own. At Wilderness Land Clearing, we have the equipment and expertise to safely eliminate hazardous trees on your property.

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late

Storm-damaged trees pose serious risks, and the hidden dangers aren’t always obvious. Whether the problem is weakened branches, root damage, or an unstable trunk, waiting too long to address it could lead to costly property damage or injury.
