STORM DAMAGE AND PREPARATION

Tree Safety is the Number ONE Priority at Gutierrez Enterprise

Proactively Protect Trees from Lightning

Trees attract lightning because they provide a path for lightning to travel from the storm cloud to the earth.

Help protect your trees from lightning damage through the installation of a lightning protection system.

Mitigate tree safety risks with Gutierrez Enterprise’s storm damage prevention and support structure systems for trees. Our tree safety solutions, like tree cabling and bracing, help de-stress, strengthen and protect your trees.

Gutierrez Enterprise’s professionals specialize in tree risk assessments to determine if a tree poses a threat to you and your property.

Can a Tree Survive a Lightning Strike?

A tree’s ability to recover after a lightning strike depends on the tree’s:

  • Species

  • Health

  • Moisture levels

  • The lightning’s power

In some cases, lightning wounds will heal themselves over time. More severe gashes in the trunk leave the tree vulnerable to harsh weather or insect and disease entrance, which can lead to tree decline.

How to Prepare Your Trees for a Storm

Heavy snow, freezing rain, lightning, high winds or a combination of any of these severe weather outbreaks can stress your trees.

Proper tree maintenance can reduce damage to your trees and property and maximize your safety, including:

  • Preventative pruning

  • Mulching

  • Lightning protection

  • Watch for cavities

A Tree Safety Inspection Includes an Assessment of Tree Health to Spot Potential Weakness

Tree inspections are vital to keeping them safe in the event of:

Severe Weather

A preventative, pre-storm inspection can better prepare your tree for severe weather and help to protect your home and valuables during your region’s storm season.

Our arborists will work with you on a plan to better prepare your trees for lightning, drought, flooding, extreme winds, snow and ice storms, and even hurricanes.

Hidden Tree Damage

Not all tree risks are easy to spot. Gutierrez Enterprise’s professionals go beyond first glance and look at the tree’s soil conditions, root system, overall health and other factors that influence a tree’s risk potential.
