Tree Preservation Services from Certified Arborists in the Northland

Yes, it's often possible to save a storm-damaged tree with proper care and attention. The extent of damage will determine the feasibility of saving the tree. Factors such as the severity of the storm, the type of tree, and the location of the damage will influence the outcome. If your tree has sustained significant damage, it's important to consult with a qualified arborist to assess the situation and determine the best course of action.

Root pruning can be harmful to a tree if not done correctly. Pruning roots can disrupt the tree's ability to absorb water and nutrients, potentially leading to stress or decline. It's essential to have root pruning performed by a qualified arborist who understands the tree's root system and can minimize damage.

It's recommended to have your trees assessed annually, especially if they are large, old, or showing signs of stress. Regular assessments can help identify potential problems early on and prevent more serious issues. For trees in areas prone to storms or other environmental hazards, more frequent inspections may be necessary.

While tree preservation services cannot guarantee that trees will remain completely undamaged during storms, they can help reduce the risk of damage. By removing dead or weak branches, ensuring trees are properly staked, and addressing underlying health issues, arborists can improve the resilience of trees and their ability to withstand storms. However, it's important to remember that severe storms can sometimes cause irreparable damage, even to healthy trees.
