As the weather heats up and hurricane season approaches, it’s crucial to prepare your yard to protect your home and keep your outdoor space safe and beautiful. At Grateful Tree & Hedge, serving Parkland, Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, Boca Raton, and the surrounding areas, we specialize in expert tree and hedge care to help you get your yard ready for whatever the season brings.
Why Prepare Your Yard for Hurricane Season?
Hurricanes and strong summer storms can cause significant damage to trees and shrubs, which can lead to dangerous debris, property damage, and costly cleanup. Proper yard preparation minimizes these risks and keeps your family and property safer.
Key Steps to Prepare Your Yard:
1. Trim and Prune Trees and Shrubs
Removing dead or weak branches is one of the most important steps. Trimming keeps your trees healthy and reduces the chances of limbs breaking off during high winds. Our professional arborists at Grateful Tree & Hedge will assess your trees and prune them safely to withstand storm conditions.
2. Remove Hazardous Trees
If you have trees that are diseased, unstable, or too close to your home, it’s safer to remove them before hurricane season. This prevents the risk of falling trees causing damage.
3. Secure Loose Items
Summer storms can bring strong winds that turn yard furniture, planters, and decorations into dangerous projectiles. Make sure to store or secure all loose items well in advance.
4. Maintain Your Lawn and Garden
A well-maintained yard drains better and reduces erosion during heavy rains. Keep your grass trimmed and clear out debris to prevent clogging of gutters and drains.
5. Inspect and Reinforce Fences and Hedges
Hedges can act as natural windbreakers, but damaged or overgrown hedges might not hold up in a storm. We can help prune and strengthen your hedges to create a resilient boundary for your yard.
