Damaged Trees and Broken Branches

Not every storm-damaged tree falls completely. Some remain standing with broken limbs, damaged branches, or other visible problems.

A damaged tree may require trimming, removal, or another type of tree service depending on its condition and location. B&G provides tree trimming, tree removal, and storm cleanup as related property services.

Property owners should be particularly cautious around large hanging branches or trees that appear unstable. Professional tree service can help determine what needs to be addressed.

Storm Cleanup Around Homes and Businesses

Storm damage can affect both residential and commercial properties. A home may have branches covering its driveway or lawn, while a business may have debris blocking parking or customer access.

B&G provides storm cleanup for both residential and commercial properties.

For commercial properties, clearing storm debris can also help restore normal use of outdoor areas. For homeowners, cleanup can help make yards, driveways, and walkways more manageable after severe weather.

Why Prompt Storm Cleanup Matters

Storm debris can remain an obstacle long after the weather has cleared. Fallen limbs may interfere with normal property use, while damaged trees and hanging branches can continue to create concerns.

Cleaning up storm debris can help restore access and make it easier to evaluate what additional tree work may be necessary.

B&G notes that prompt storm cleanup can help reduce safety risks, prevent additional property damage, and restore access to homes and businesses more quickly.

Storm Cleanup and Tree Removal

Sometimes storm cleanup involves more than collecting loose branches. A storm-damaged tree may be severely damaged, leaning, or otherwise unsuitable to remain on the property.

In these situations, tree removal may be needed before the surrounding debris can be completely cleared. B&G provides tree removal for dead, damaged, hazardous, and unwanted trees and considers the tree’s condition and surrounding property when planning removal work.

When the tree has been removed, stump grinding may also be considered if the remaining stump interferes with the property’s future use or landscaping.

Cleaning Up After Different Types of Storms

Different weather events can leave behind different types of property damage. Strong winds may break large limbs, while heavy rain can contribute to fallen branches and difficult yard conditions.

Regardless of the type of storm, the first priority is identifying damaged trees, fallen branches, and blocked areas that need attention.

Once the immediate hazards have been identified, storm cleanup can focus on clearing debris and restoring access to the affected areas.

What Should You Do After Storm Damage?

After a major storm, start by keeping people away from visibly unstable trees, large hanging branches, and damaged areas that may present a hazard.

You can then inspect the property from a safe distance and identify areas where fallen trees or debris are blocking access.

If significant tree damage is present, professional tree service can help determine what needs to be removed and whether additional trimming, tree removal, or stump work may be necessary.

Avoid using a chainsaw on large or unstable storm-damaged trees unless you are properly trained and equipped for the situation.
