Storms can leave more than just puddles in your yard, they can seriously damage your trees, creating hazards that need fast attention. Whether a tree lost a limb or came down completely, knowing what steps to take after a storm can make a big difference in your safety and peace of mind.

1. Stay Safe and Inspect from a Distance

First and foremost, make sure everyone is safe. Keep your distance from damaged trees, especially if there are hanging branches, leaning trunks, or downed power lines nearby.

🛑 If you see utility lines involved, call your power company immediately. Never approach them yourself.

2. Document the Damage for Insurance

Take clear photos of the damage, especially if a tree impacted your home, fence, or vehicle. These will help with any insurance claims and assist your tree care provider in evaluating the situation.

3. Call a Professional Tree Service

Don’t try to tackle large limbs or fallen trees on your own, tree damage can be unpredictable and dangerous. The experienced team at Saki’s Tree Service is trained and fully insured to safely handle:

• Emergency tree removal
• Tree bracing for weakened structures
• Storm cleanup

We’ll assess the situation, give you an honest quote, and get your property back to safe as quickly as possible.

4. Leave Heavy Debris to the Pros

While you may be able to clear small sticks and branches, leave large cleanup and dangerous limbs to professionals. Attempting to use chainsaws or climb trees after a storm can lead to serious injuries.

5. Get a Post-Storm Tree Inspection

Even if your trees look okay, storms can cause hidden internal damage. A professional inspection can catch issues early, before they become safety risks.

We’ll check for cracks, root instability, or stress damage and recommend the right service, like tree pruning or deep root fertilization, to support long-term recovery.
