Winter is the harshest season for trees. Heavy snow, strong winds, and icy conditions can take down even the strongest of trees. If a tree falls on your property during the winter, it’s important to act fast and prioritize safety. Here’s what you should do:
- Assess the Damage: It’s important to evaluate the extent of the damage caused by the fallen tree. It’s important to see if it damaged any valuables on your property such as your car, house, shed, etc.
- Call the Professionals: Removing a tree during the winter can be a dangerous task. Contacting a professional to remove the tree is the safest way to do it. A professional can also evaluate other trees on your property and determine if they’re close to falling.
- Plan for Cleanup and Future Prevention: Once the tree is removed, you should clean up and develop strategies to avoid similar incidents in the future.
