Vermont sees severe weather from summer thunderstorms to fall nor'easters. Preparing your trees now can prevent expensive damage later.
Remove dead trees before storm season. Dead trees are unpredictable and will eventually come down — storms just accelerate the timeline.
Trim overextended branches that could reach your home, vehicles, or power lines during high winds.
Thin dense canopies to allow wind to pass through rather than catching like a sail.
Address co-dominant stems — trees with two equal-sized trunks that form a V-shape are prone to splitting in storms.
Know who to call for emergency tree removal before you need them. Having a trusted tree service ready means faster response when storms hit.
