Storm and Emergency

Prune before the storm, not after.

A tree that is thinned, cleaned and checked loses fewer limbs in wind and ice. Storm-ready pruning cuts the weak, dead and overweight parts before the weather finds them.

  • Priced by: Number and size of trees and the work required
  • Methods: Climbing, aerial lift and rigging

The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Most storm damage starts with weak points the tree already had: dead limbs, tight forks, long heavy branches and decayed wood. Storm-ready pruning goes after those first, so wind and ice have less to work with.

Nashville Tree Service prunes and inspects trees ahead of Middle Tennessee's storm seasons. We remove deadwood, reduce long limbs and recommend cabling where a fork needs help. It is a quiet job on a clear day that can prevent a very bad one later.

Good questions

Storm-Ready Pruning: common questions

How do I know if my trees are storm-ready?

Look for dead branches, tight forks, cracks and trees that lean. If you are unsure, an inspection tells you.

Will pruning protect the tree from every storm?

No pruning can stop a severe storm, but it reduces damage and lowers risk.
