Hurricane Season is Upon Us in the Northeast

Hurricane Season  Tree Work is a Must

 

 

Hurricane season has been with us since June and the hazardsRI Tree Service Company of what it brings to all homeowners can be severe.  In Rhode Island we have the wind, rain and ocean tides to deal with which are all strong forces of nature.  Yes flooding is always a concern but also tree damage to homes too.

 

 The lack of water we are experiencing this year puts RI real estate at risk for unsteady trees as they lose their grip on the soil.  This is a big concern for many RI homeowners. 

 

 

 Ensuring that the tree work is done properly and in keeping with the tree's health is a must for the long term.  Silver Leaf Forestry, which I have talked about many time on my blogs, are foremost with tree knowledge, bonded, insured, licensed and are arborists too.  They are the ones to call at 401.529.8558 today to have your trees trimmed, removed or whatever tree needs you have in southern RI from East Greenwich to Westerly to Portsmouth RI.  Make them your best friends and partners in property protection today.  Yes, like any business they probably are booked solid for weeks but if you care about your property you can wait.

 

The force of the hurricane wind when it makes landfall along with the severe winds causes storm surges that push seawater onto land, loosens tree root systems, causes flooding (evaluate flood insurance now) and adds to river and streams overflowing.  Weakening of trees from roots to their tops due to wind and water are the culprit.  Call your insurance agent this week and review your home insurance needs carefully with them.

 

We never know what is around the corner with weather and it has been so bizarre and unexpected throughout the country again this year.

Hurricane Season is Here Already

Good morning Ginny. We never properly prepare untill it is too late. This year we escaped the Hurricane season in Florida by relocating to Chicago! Check with me when it starts snowing here! Enjoy your day!

Good morning Ginny Gorman Hurricane season in New England is always a nightmare for homeowners and a bonus for tree cutters.... such a dangerous job and thankfully we have tree cutters to call when there's an emergency.... safe times ahead for your son, Ginny....

Hi Ginny... hopefully you won't get hit too badly by hurricanes this year. NC's coastline is often in the path... fortunately, Charlotte is too far away to get more than heavy rain when the hurricanes are blowing through.

Good morning Ginny and hoping that all of us in the midst of hurricane season have a mild season. Your son's job is doing a great service to the homeowners and communities that need it. Maybe he won't go up so high on the trees, once his baby is here!

Ginny I got to write a blog about this as well.  We lost power for about 6 hours in the thunder storm we had on Thursday but I was ready with my generator.  I have had it for about 3 years now and used it for the first time on Thursday.

Ginny, great advice for your area.  Many do not realize that the lack of water, followed by massive amounts of water, do cause trees to 'lose their footing' (I like that analogy BTW!).
