When You Need Emergency Tree Service
Long Island has experienced many storms over the past few years that has left people with damaged homes, yards, and without power. These repairs can be an inconvenience, but when you choose Alternative EarthCare we will be sure to make it as easy as possible.
After Heavy Storms
Emergency tree services are needed after heavy snowstorms or super storms throughout the year. During heavy storms tree trunks may fall or limbs may break free from the trunk causing property damage, injuries and power outages.
During Fall & Spring
Even the natural high winds of fall and spring can cause tree limbs to break or weaken. The heavy rains of spring can also create the need for emergency services, for instance through the over saturation of the soil. This condition can cause tree roots to weaken and fall over.
Wintertime
Even without a blizzard or two, mild accumulation of snow or ice is a hazard to your trees. The weight of ice or snow accumulations can cause branches to break loose or cause entire trees to fall over. Heavy snow, like we saw in the recent winter of 2014-15 caused sever flooding throughout long island and lead to the weakening of tree roots due to water saturation.
Pre-Storm Planning for Trees
It is nearly impossible to protect your property and trees from storms and other hazardous, every-day weather. However, there are a few simple but effective measures you can take to greatly reduce the risk of damage.
Prevention is key: the specialists here at Alternative EarthCare will examine the trees around your home and your entire yard to make sure there are no defects or other conditions that could weaken the trees limbs or structures. This will ensure that if and when a storm hits your tree can withstand the heavy rain or snow along with the winds.
In most cases, routine maintenance is the most economical way to handle a potential problem in the future. Annual to semi-annual maintenance is far less expensive than having structure damage to your home, or heaven forbid, someone is injured. At Alternative EarthCare, we can inspect and quickly execute any issues that pose a threat.
