Tree Surgeon Robin Hood

Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling a qualified tree surgeon. Untrained individuals should not attempt to deal with a fallen tree as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re usually viewed as being really durable and timeless, trees may become at risk in extreme weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also can result in costly restorations.

The most difficult decision after a storm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much easy. The more challenging choice is whether or not some of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm can present a future threat and may well need to be chopped down and removed to avoid placing people & property in danger in months or years ahead.

Some other trees may be saved by being trimmed back, with their most injured sections being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon will amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other may require to get staked with guy wires or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree contractors can be trusted to take away the affected trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building and construction crews access to the building to begin restorations on the affected buildings and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of damage creates a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to fail to notice a small detail that could separate one conclusion from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six types of storm damage that a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, making the crown to fall or lean strongly while the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack under the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swaying noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most frequently on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The entire crown ultimately ends up being a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably increased risk to fall despite the fact that it endured the initial windstorm.
