Spring is in full bloom here in the Sunshine State! Yes, we’re fortunate enough to enjoy beautiful, balmy weather all year long—but there’s something special about the start of a new season and all the fun it brings. But at the same time, spring also marks the beginning of Florida’s rainy season. Paired with the increase in precipitation is the arrival, soon, of summer thunderstorms and potential hurricanes rolling onto our sandy shores. Unpredictable weather is simply part and parcel of life in Florida—but should a thunderstorm or hurricane cause tree damage on your property, you can count on an experienced team like Tree Work Now to help you get back to your beautiful backyard. Just read on to see some of the ways our Daytona Beach tree service company can serve your storm season needs!
Dangerous Debris
Even after the thunder, wind, and rain have given way to glorious post-storm sunshine, there may still be dangers in the debris that’s left behind. For example, mud and water can conceal potential hazards you don’t want to touch.
Another potential risk that you may run into after a storm? Deceptively sharp tree branches and other objects can be dangerous if not handled properly (or with the right tools). Fortunately, enlisting the help of a professional storm cleanup team can revive your beautiful property—without putting you in harm’s way to do it.
However, as a fallen tree lies, there are many small branches each sharing an unknown portion of its massive weight. When a worker cuts a single branch that is in contact with the ground, the force of gravity causes the remaining weight of the tree to shift its pressure, due to the force of gravity, to the other branches that still remain attached. This often causes the tree (or large fallen branch) to roll, which can be extremely dangerous to the workers. And, this has unfortunately caused deaths even right here in Daytona Beach during storm clean up after Hurricane Irma.
High-Volume Cleanup
Another problem with trying to tackle storm cleanup yourself? Sometimes, there’s simply too much to deal with! Not only would this take an excessive amount of time and physical labor, but it can also pose a problem when it comes to removal of your yard debris—especially if it exceeds your municipality’s yard waste pickup limits.
By partnering with the Daytona Beach tree service—Tree Work Now, however, you can avoid the hassle by working with a team that has the tools, resources, and helpers needed to get the job done as swiftly as possible.
A Thoughtful Timeline
Speaking of swiftly...
Whether it’s a severe thunderstorm or full-on hurricane, every storm cleanup process will have a different timeline—based on a combination of factors such as the extent of damage, potential time-sensitive hazards, and community impacts as a whole. On your own, it can be hard to determine what steps to take first. But when you work with an experienced storm cleanup team like Tree Work Now, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a clear timeline of what to expect. We also have the insights and experience needed to assess potentially hazardous situations—so if damage and debris is putting your home in harm’s way, that earns a spot at the top of our to-do list.
Planning For Future Threats
In the immediate aftermath of a storm, you’re most likely going to be focused on clearing away the damage and (if needed) repairing your home as quickly as possible. And we completely understand! It’s important to get back to a sense of normalcy after a major weather event.
The good news, though, is that partnering with a well-equipped team can help you take care of immediate landscape needs and plan ahead at the same time. Why wait for another storm to roll in, potentially leaving even worse damage in its wake? Tree Work Now can help identify and address problem areas such as interior rot, damaged roots, week joints, and other factors that can weaken your tree’s defenses against high winds.
We hope that today’s brief guide to storm cleanup helps you head into storm season with protection and peace of mind!
