Although it\u2019s not quite storm season yet, now is the right time\nto start preparing our landscapes for what\u2019s ahead. This is an especially important\nconsideration after the recent rainfall we got in Fishers, Indiana. As for our\nlawns and gardens, storms will not do much damage since there is really no\nactive growth. Furthermore, plants and grass have fast turn-over and growth cycles,\nwhich means they can quickly recover from inclement weather damage. As for\ntrees, they are not always as resilient, especially young, recently planted, or\ndeclining trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before storm season hits, be sure to implement the proper\ntechniques to ensure your trees do not break or topple over in heavy rain or\nwind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tree Inspections<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The first item on your storm season preparation list is to\ninspect your landscaping trees. You want to look for signs that a tree is at\nrisk of being damaged by storm weather. This includes trees that are leaning,\nbroken, cracked, have dangling limbs, diseased, pest-infested, unstable,\nuprooted, tangled in wires, located near power lines, and similar signs. See\nour blog, \u201cHow\nto Identify a Hazardous Tree<\/a>\u201d to learn more signs of an unstable or unsafe\ntree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cable and Bracing<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have selected which trees seem like they might not\nbe able to withstand the inclement weather conditions of the upcoming storm season,\nyour next item on your agenda is to choose which strategies you will use to stabilize\nthem. The most common tree care practice for stabilization is known as tree\ncabling and bracing. Not only does cabling and bracing prevent unsteady or dead\ntrees from falling over, it can help promote tree growth in certain directions,\nlike out of the way of power lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the process, cabling and bracing hardware are\ninstalled directly on and around the tree, and then anchored to the ground.\nThis practice still allows the tree to move naturally with the wind, but only\nto a limit that cannot cause any structural failures. Tree trunks, whole trees,\nor sections of large limbs can be cabled and braced for preventative\nmaintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Routine Tree Service<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Once your unstable trees are supported and prepared to take\non harsh winds and heavy rain, it is important to stay on top of routine tree\nservice so that your trees get stronger and healthier. Regular trimming and\npruning are the most effective methods for improving the health and stability\nof a tree. These practices also serve to improve the overall look and appeal of\nthe tree, as well as any functions it may serve, such as shade or privacy.
