Common Types of Storm Damage
Before diving into the restoration process, it’s essential to understand the common types of damage trees can sustain during storms:
- Broken Branches
Branches can snap under the weight of ice, snow, or from the force of high winds. - Splintered Trunks
Severe winds or lightning can cause trunks to split or crack, compromising the tree’s stability. - Uprooted Trees
Heavy winds and saturated soil can cause trees to uproot, especially those with shallow root systems. - Foliage Damage
Hail and strong winds can strip leaves and needles, reducing the tree’s ability to photosynthesize.
