During the warmer months, strong winds that blow through along with thunderstorms cause damage to vulnerable trees, plants, and shrubs. To keep your home and family safe this summer, taking care of your greenery is essential. Below, the tree care experts at Dave & Aaron Stang’s Certified Tree Care in Cincinnati, OH, share a few ways the professionals can help you prepare. 

How Can Tree Care Services Protect Against Storm Damage?

Install a Bolt & Cable System

A bolt and cable system is made up of pieces of hardware that add support to a weak tree. Arborists drill hooks, rods, and cables into the tree bark to support weak branches and heavy limbs. They can also be used to support the entire young tree. While a bolt and cable system gives a tree the extra support it needs to live a longer life, it is important to have the tree inspected by a tree care expert before having it installed. If a tree is too much of a threat, it may need to be cut down as a last resort.

Prune Vulnerable Trees

Leaving dead or weak tree branches on your trees is very dangerous because they are more likely to break off during a storm. Regularly pruning your trees can reduce this risk. In addition to the summer, you should also schedule pruning services in the winter to promote healthy and full growth in the spring.
