We have a couple times of year where the wind in Kennewick gets a little out of control. When and if the time comes where you need to take proactive action to prevent damage to your property, we would love to help. We look forward to helping you prevent any damage possible.
Blow-over The tree is physically pushed over by strong persistent winds. Past tree abuse, poor
maintenance, pest problems (like fusiform cankers on pine or root rot in hardwoods) predispose the tree to storm damage by weakening the wood architecture.
Stem and/or Branch Failure Trees with old and no longer visible injury sites, large trees with multiple trunks or branches that are poorly-attached or have narrow branch angles are structurally weaker than normal solid wood. These damaged or defective areas can quickly fail under a strong persistent wind and/or saturated soil.
Crown Twist Trees are never perfectly symmetrical in every direction. Many trees, through past abuse or poor maintenance have lopsided crowns. The more wind on one side of the crown than on another produces a twist on major branches and the main stem. During a storm, the twisting effect can magnify weaknesses around old injuries and the stem will split or the branches collapse.
Moving Forward
We look forward to helping you with all of your tree removal, tree trimming needs, and preventative maintenance needs.
