Hurricane Recovery
PREPARE FOR HURRICANES IN JACKSONVILLE WITH OUR TREE SERVICE
When it comes to preparing for a hurricane, nobody does it better than Big Ben’s Tree Service. For over 40 years, we have helped Jacksonville residents prevent damage before and clean up after a storm. Our hurricane tree service is one of the best in the industry. What can you do before a storm as a measure of prevention?
- Safety pruning – When we complete this service, it removes branches that are at risk for breaking off during a windstorm. We can also prune in such a way that allows more airflow in between branches with the idea that there will be less wind resistance to make the tree fall.
- Crown reduction – It’s sometimes the very big branches that cause the most damage during a storm. Removing them before a storm with a process called crown reduction greatly reduces the chance of damage to your home or other property, as well as injury to your family.
The Benefits of Crown Reduction
Crown reduction is often necessary due to illness within a branch or harsh weather conditions, and it is preferred to topping, but must be done correctly in order to keep the tree strong and healthy. At Big Ben’s Tree Service, our professionals have been trained to complete the proper cuts that will encourage growth while improving the aesthetics and spacing of your trees. The benefits of crown reduction include:
When done correctly, the appearance of the tree often remains the same.
Proper reduction will actually strengthen a tree by removing larger diseased branches.
Larger branches no longer pose the risk of injuring someone, destroying property or falling on a power line.
Removing Fallen and Toppled Trees After Gale-Force Winds
Even with proper prevention, sometimes a storm is just too powerful. Our storm recovery services consist of getting rid of fallen trees, safely cutting away branches that have broken off and properly recycling the wood. We understand that you can’t predict these things, and we have a 24-hour emergency service to ensure that you are always taken care of. The most important thing to remember is to give us a call and not try to do the heavy lifting and dangerous cutting on your own.
