Are your trees ready for rainstorms?

The Best Care For Your Trees!
  1. Saturation of Soil: Heavy rain can saturate the soil, making it soft and more susceptible to erosion. So, when the soil around a tree becomes too waterlogged, the roots may lose their grip, causing the tree to become unstable and eventually fall.
  2. Shallow Root Systems: Some trees may have shallow root systems, which can make them more prone to falling during storms. If the roots don’t anchor the tree securely, it becomes vulnerable to being uprooted when strong winds accompany rain. In dryer climates the root structure has a tendency to be closer to the surface due to the surface watering we do with our irrigation.
  3. Wind Load: Rainstorms often come with strong winds, and if a tree has a large crown or an unbalanced canopy, it can act like a sail, catching the wind and exerting additional force on the tree. This can make the tree more likely to topple over.
  4. Weakness or Disease: Trees that are weakened by diseases, pests, or decay may be more prone to falling during storms. These factors can compromise the structural integrity of the tree, making it less able to withstand the forces exerted by wind and rain.
  5. Old Age: Older trees may have a higher likelihood of falling during storms due to factors like decay, reduced structural stability, and a general decline in health. Our arborists can detect if this is the case with your trees.
  6. Species Characteristics: Some tree species are more susceptible to storm damage than others. Factors such as wood density, crown structure, and root system can vary among different tree species and influence their ability to withstand adverse weather conditions.

It’s important to note that not all trees fall during rainstorms, and many are resilient enough to withstand adverse weather conditions. Proper tree care, regular inspections, and prompt attention to any signs of disease or weakness can help mitigate the risk of trees falling during storms.
