How Tree Pruning Services Protect Your Home From Summer Storms

Summer brings sunshine, barbecues, and more fun outdoors, but it also carries some serious weather risks. High winds, heavy rains, and fast-moving storms can quickly turn beautiful trees into unexpected hazards. At SavATree, we know that tree care isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s also about safety. That’s why our tree pruning services, tree storm prep and support systems, and detailed tree risk assessments are essential tools to protect your property.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how proactive care can prevent damage, keep your landscape thriving, and give you peace of mind all summer long.

Why Tree Pruning Services Are Key to Storm Safety

Healthy trees are strong trees, but even the healthiest can struggle when high winds hit. Overgrown or damaged branches are especially vulnerable during storms, increasing the risk of breakage and property damage.

Our arborists at SavATree recommend tree pruning services not only to shape and beautify your trees but to strengthen their structure. Professional pruning helps by:

  • Removing dead, weak, or damaged limbs that could break off in storms.
  • Thinning dense canopies to reduce wind resistance.
  • Improving airflow and sunlight penetration also reduces disease risk.
  • Preventing limbs from growing too close to your home, driveways, or power lines.

A well-pruned tree is better balanced, more resilient, and less likely to cause storm-related surprises.

Tree Storm Prep and Support Systems: Reinforcing Your Trees

Some trees, especially mature ones or those with structural issues, need extra reinforcement to withstand severe weather. SavATree’s tree storm prep and support systems are designed to provide added stability when your trees need it most.

We offer:

  • Pruning: Our skilled team will remove weak or hazardous branches, or those too close to structures, before they become a risk to your property. 
  • Cabling and Bracing: Flexible steel cables and rods provide critical support for weak or heavy limbs, reducing the risk of splitting or breakage.
  • Lightning Protection Systems: Our lightning protection systems can help prevent catastrophic strikes for tall or high-value trees. (Note, this service is offered by select branches only.)
  • Preventive Removal: When decay, structural decline, or past storm damage causes a tree to become a potential danger to your property, removal may be necessary.
  • Nutrition and Watering: Appropriate watering and soil nutrition improves root growth, structure, and stability, strengthening your trees against the impact of severe weather. 

These proactive measures work with your trees’ natural growth patterns to keep them standing tall, even when storms hit hard.

When’s the Best Time to Prepare?

The answer: before the storms roll in! Booking tree pruning services, installing storm prep support systems, and scheduling a pre-storm season visit with your arborist early helps ensure your trees are in peak condition before severe weather strikes.

Even if storm season has already begun, it’s never too late to make your property safer. SavATree’s experts are ready to help you catch up with safe, reliable, and science-backed care.
