Living in Abacoa means enjoying beautiful tree-lined streets and lush landscapes. But it also means preparing your property for hurricane season. Strong winds and heavy rain can turn trees into serious hazards if they aren’t properly maintained. These storm-prep tips will help you protect your home, your family, and your neighborhood.
Inspect Trees Before Storm Season
Start with a professional inspection from a certified arborist. Look for dead branches, cracks in the trunk, root damage, or leaning trees. Addressing these problems early reduces the risk of fallen limbs or uprooted trees during storms.
Schedule Preventive Trimming
Hurricane trimming is different from routine pruning. It focuses on removing weak or overextended branches and thinning the canopy to allow wind to pass through. Palms should be trimmed to remove heavy fronds and seed pods. Proper trimming helps trees withstand storm-force winds.
Remove Hazardous or Dead Trees
If a tree is too close to your home or shows signs of decline, tree removal may be the safest option before hurricane season. Dixie Tree Services provides hazardous tree assessments and removals throughout Abacoa, Jupiter, and Palm Beach Gardens. We also handle stump grinding and removal if needed.
