The impact of Winter weather

Beaver Tree Services

The unpredictable Winter weather is a great reason to get your trees checked now, especially given the extreme weather events (including tornadoes) that we have been experiencing.

Strong winds, heavy rain, and cold snaps can cause serious problems, particularly if a tree is old or already damaged.

In severe weather, even healthy trees can be more prone to damage. If you’re concerned about any of your trees, please get an arborist to check them – it’s better to be safe than sorry!
