It’s only the first week of official summer, but Nashville has been experiencing extreme summer heat and severe weather for many weeks already. Music City has already had its fair share of hail, wind, rain and the damaging aftermath. Summer storms are a normal weather pattern in the Middle Tennessee area, but that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone is prepared.
Fortunately, our team of arborists and our landscape crew can help make sure your property is prepared and clean up the mess any storm might leave behind. We work hard to ensure our clients have the best preventative care taken for their trees and other areas of their landscape. And though we do our best to avoid dangerous, urgent situations like a fallen branch or entire tree, sometimes Mother Nature doesn’t care.
If you need assistance after a storm for your trees or landscape, here are some landscape and tree services that might help take care of the problem.
The Parke Company’s Landscape Services After a Storm
Landscape Damage and Clean-up
Landscape clean-up can be an overwhelming project, especially if the damage is exponential and the landscape is vast. Our team of landscape experts can help clear the damage including fallen branches, leaves and other clean-up measures. Don’t forget that our landscape team can also help you with that summer landscape and/or irrigation system you still haven’t gotten to yet. It might be June, but it’s not too late to get started!
Tree Obstruction Removal
This is where our emergency tree crew comes in. Our certified and professionally trained arborists can efficiently and safely remove trees from roadways, driveways and structures such as your house or car. It could be something as simple as a large branch from a tree that broke off in the middle of the severe storm and now is blocking your driveway, or perhaps an entire tree fell in the roadway. Whatever the case, our arborist team is here to help.
Tree Check-ups
This is a service our arborists highly recommend before and after a storm. Get regular check-ups for your trees to ensure they are sound and steady. If the tree is damaged, diseased or simply needs a few branches trimmed for crown thinning, our team will be able to assist you. If your tree was damaged during a recent storm, having an arborist come out to assess the damage and see if any of your other trees are susceptible to damage during any future storms.
Lightning Damage and Preventative Measures
Did you know that your trees can be struck by lightning and you might not even know it? The signs and symptoms of lightning damage can take days or weeks to appear. Either way, if you notice that your trees have been struck by lightning or they are suddenly losing their leaves and it appears they might be dying, call Parke. Our team can analyze the problem and give you a treatment plan. Our crew can also install lightning protective devices. These devices are great for older and historic trees that are considered some of Tennessee’s landmarks.
Summer storms are unpredictable and erratic. It’s important to stay prepared and have our emergency service phone number handy when damage crops up. Don’t let the damage from a quick summer storm stress you out more than it needs to. Our landscape and tree service team has you covered.
