Frequently Asked

Storm Preparations — Questions & Answers

When is the best time for hurricane prep pruning?+
Ideally between February and May — early enough that trees fully recover before named storms typically arrive in July–October. We take last-minute jobs when the forecast turns, but earlier is always better for the tree.
Does thinning really help in a hurricane?+
Yes. Reducing canopy density and end-weight lowers the sail effect, which is the primary reason mature oaks and native trees fail in high winds. It's the single most cost-effective way to protect a home from wind-thrown limbs.
Is this the same as 'hurricane cutting' palms?+
No — and we don't do hurricane cuts. Storm preparation is precision ANSI A300 pruning that protects the tree's long-term health while reducing wind failure risk. Hurricane cuts on palms are harmful and shorten palm life.
