Storms in Florida can harshly influence the environment, especially trees. During a hazardous storm, the healthiest trees have the most chance of survival. But if any tree has natural imperfections, previous damage, or any other type of flaw (bark and trunk cracks or weak V-shaped unions), it may suffer damage which will probably require storm cleanup.
Storms have several consequences: they leave massive floods, start fires, cause structural damage to buildings, leave significant wind damage, and cause landslides. All this damage could result in mold infections, building instability, and trees that endanger human lives.
Removing storm hazards can be dangerous, too, if you decide to do it yourself. But luckily, our team is always ready to help you return your property’s pre-storm shine.

Once a fire reaches a tree, it first hits the bark. Since the bark is the tree’s natural protection, it can hold up to a certain temperature, but any stronger fire will easily burn through it and reach the area under the bark, which is far more sensitive. Once the tubes that are carrying water and minerals get damaged, the water from the tree starts to evaporate and the carbon (tree-building material) combines with oxygen from the air, releasing CO2 to the atmosphere and turning organic matter into minerals-rich ash that will feed the soil it spreads on.
Any dead tree, not just palms, can eventually fall. The risk is especially high for trees exposed to heavy winds, frequent storms, or unstable soil conditions.

By conducting regular inspections and promptly taking down dead or damaged trees, you can dramatically lower the chances of property damage or injury.

In Florida, storms and hurricanes are the primary causes of tree emergencies. Intense winds and rain can destabilize tree roots, leading to uprooting or large branches snapping off. Other factors include age, disease, and proximity to buildings or structures, which may create hazardous conditions over time, even outside the storm season.
A tree is considered too close if its branches or roots are 10-20 feet from your home. This proximity can increase the likelihood of damage during a storm and may result in blocked gutters, foundation issues, or even mold growth on your exterior walls due to trapped warm moisture. If you’re not sure about your tree, we can check out where it’s at and how it’s growing to see if it might be a hazard.
Dead palm trees pose a risk of falling, especially during Florida’s frequent storms and high winds. When a palm tree dies, it becomes weak and wobbly, which means it can easily tip over or break. If you notice signs of decay, such as browning fronds, sagging trunks, or holes from pests, it’s crucial to remove the tree to prevent accidents.
A high-risk or hazardous tree is a tree that suffered irreversible damage and therefore must be removed. The following trees can qualify for an emergency tree service: fallen trees, leaning trees, uprooted trees that cannot be replanted back, trees with a snapped trunk, trees suffering an incurable infection or pest infestation, and dead trees.
The safest way to remove a hazardous tree is to let the professionals take over, especially if a tree has already fallen and damaged your property. The process is intricate and requires a high level of expertise, as you don’t want to cause more damage than it already did. Therefore, call a licensed tree service for an estimate and let them figure out the best way to deal with the problem at hand.

When a tree looks dead, severely infected with mold, the trunk looks hollow inside, has deep cracks and splits or large limbs have multiple cracks and splits and look like they are about to snap, then you can be sure that the tree is hazardous.
In some cases you can save a hazardous tree. For example, if a tree lost only some of the outer limbs or lost one main branch but still has most left intact, you will be able to save it after a professional tree service removes a broken branch. If the tree suffered a harsh pest attack or disease infection, and the damage is beyond repair, then removing it is the only option. If the tree trunk has cracked or split in half, you will have to remove that tree as well.
