Storm Preparation Tips: Protecting Your Manassas Trees – United Tree Care
Severe weather in Northern Virginia can put your trees and property at risk. United Tree Care shares quick tips to prepare your Manassas trees before storms strike.
1. Inspect Before Storm Season – Walk your property and look for dead branches, cracks, or leaning trees. Our Manassas arborists offer free risk assessments to spot hazards early.
2. Prune Proactively – Remove weak or dead limbs to reduce wind damage. Proper trimming prevents debris from harming your home or vehicles.
3. Protect the Root Zone – Healthy roots keep trees stable. Avoid compacting soil, use mulch, and water during dry spells to prevent uprooting.
4. Identify High-Risk Trees – Bradford pears, silver maples, and willows in Manassas often fail in storms. Consider removal if they’re near structures.
5. Have an Emergency Plan – Keep United Tree Care’s number handy. Avoid downed power lines and never attempt DIY tree removal.
6. Get a Post-Storm Check – Hidden damage like cracked limbs or split trunks needs professional inspection.
