Storm Damage

The best way to prevent storm damage from trees is to have your trees properly pruned and inspected by professionals such as Elements Tree Service before the winter storms but this isn’t always possible.

Most damage to property occurs during severe weather when limbs or trees fall. The potential high winds, snow load and saturated soil conditions typical of winter storms in the central Sierra Mountains can cause tree roots to fail and branches to weaken. Trees that retain foliage in winter such as conifers and certain oaks are most at risk for damage because the foliage adds weight, catches snow and adds wind resistance. That is why pre-storm strategies are recommended to identify potentially hazardous conditions and to help reduce the risk of damage before harsh weather occurs.
