Your Kansas City Home and Trees | How to Avoid Wind Damage

Each Summer the Midwest endures its fair share of storms and windy weather.

The Midwest is a wonderful place to live and we get to enjoy all four seasons. Well, that means we see all four seasons. We see the heat, the storms, the wind and everything in between. Sometimes you might even be lucky enough to see it all in one day. With weather patterns changing quickly and our homes and property being exposed to all the elements, we have also grown accustomed to seeing the property and home damage as well.

Avoiding damage to your home and property, while not entirely possible to prevent, can be deterred and often avoided. Most of the damage that we see during the storm season is due to falling limbs and debris, or the damage to homes and property from those falling items. With just a bit of regular trimming each season most of these issues and hazards can be avoided.

It can be hard to know which limbs or parts of trees to trim, how to evenly distribute weight, and what the areas of concern are. Therefore, it is vital to have a professional arborist or tree professional conduct your trimming. When you are selecting a tree trimming service, be sure to look for this.

Ensuring the individual and company is certified helps protect you. It helps confirm that they are educated to know how to trim to help best preserve tree health and weight distribution. Proper weight balancing is very important when preventing falling limbs or debris.

Some damage to trees can’t be helped and the elements seem to have their own will with lightning and extreme weather scenarios. Yet, preparing for everyday weather in the midwest is possible.

Be proactive this season and have your trees trimmed by a professional tree trimming service like Cartwright Tree Care. You will thank yourself later when you are enjoying your safe and beautiful trees and property.
