Mitigation and Prevention
ArborDocs has been helping Dallas homeowners with post-storm clean up for over two decades. Our services can prevent future damage, ensuring the beauty and safety of your property.
What is storm damage mitigation?
We love saving damaged trees, from cabling trunks that have split to bolting branches that crack or restoring the balance of your canopy. ArborDocs technicians utilize ANSI pruning, cabling, and bracing standards to reconstruct trees that have experienced storm damage.
What is preventative surgery?
Some storm damage can be avoided by arborists’ observation of poorly formed connections and by maintaining weight reduction. Sagging branches are a clear sign you could end up with storm damage.
What is post storm prognosis?
Often, homeowners post-storm fail to uncover hidden damage or are too quick to have a tree removed. At ArborDocs, we help protect your investment with an in-depth post-storm prognosis that answers four important questions.
- Can my tree be saved? Depending on the severity of damage, a planning process can begin, followed by a proper pruning schedule to not stress the tree by losing too much “blood” foliage in one year.
- How do you ensure my tree won’t break again? We perform a thorough evaluation of remaining parts and tissues for cracks or excessive weight. Our ISA certified arborists provide you with a detailed and complete assessment.
- When does a tree need to be removed? Trees are amazingly strong, but even the strongest have a threshold of damage they can take. A tree can lose 30% of trunk tissue before the remaining stem could fail.
- Do split trees need to be removed? Not in all cases. If a tree partially fails, we can cable and brace the remaining parts using ANSI A300 support systems designed to your trees specific needs.
