Should I remove dead or weak limbs before storm season?
Yes — removing dead or structurally weak limbs before storm season is one of the most effective ways to reduce property damage and liability. Most storm-related tree damage comes from limbs that were already compromised before wind or heavy rain arrived.
Why Weak Limbs Are a Major Risk
Dead or weakened limbs are more likely to fail because they:
- Lack flexibility to withstand wind
- Are already cracked, decayed, or stressed
- Sit over roofs, vehicles, walkways, or power-adjacent areas
- Break unpredictably during gusts or saturated soil conditions
Waiting until after a storm often means higher repair costs, emergency response fees, and preventable damage.
