Adelaide gets its share of wild weather, and every storm season brings down trees and limbs across the suburbs. The good news is that a bit of preparation beforehand can dramatically reduce the risk to your home and your family.
Book a pre-season assessment
The single best thing you can do is have your larger trees checked before the weather turns. A qualified arborist can spot weak limbs, dead wood and structural issues that are easy to miss from the ground, and deal with them on a calm day rather than in an emergency.
Clear the obvious hazards
Some jobs are worth getting done before the wind arrives:
- Remove dead and overhanging limbs near the house and driveway
- Thin dense canopies so wind can pass through more easily
- Clear limbs growing into powerlines
- Check young or recently planted trees are well staked
