Prepare Your Trees with LES Tree Services in Preston

For residents and businesses in Preston, Fulwood, Penwortham, Garstang, Chorley, Leyland, Cottam, and Broughton, preparation for stormy weather is essential to protect your trees, property, and outdoor spaces.

At LES Tree Services, we specialise in tree surgery, pruning, and emergency tree care in Preston and surrounding areas, helping you prepare ahead of the storm and recover safely afterward.

Preparing Your Trees Before Storms

Being proactive can prevent accidents and costly damage. Here’s what you can do:

1. Inspect Trees for Weakness

   Look for leaning trunks, cracked branches, or signs of disease. These trees are more likely to fall or break during strong winds.

2. Prune Overgrown or Dead Branches

   Removing deadwood and reducing branch weight decreases the chance of branches breaking and causing damage.

3. Secure Your Garden and Outdoor Items

   Move furniture, bins, and garden ornaments away from trees to prevent damage and reduce risk.

4. Clear Gutters and Drains

   Leaves and debris can cause flooding, especially around tree roots and near property foundations.

5. Document Potential Hazards

   Take photos of any trees or branches that look risky. This will help with insurance claims if damage occurs.

6. Call LES Tree Services for Pre-Storm Support

   Our team can conduct a professional tree inspection and pruning service in Preston and surrounding areas, ensuring your trees are prepared to withstand the storm.

What to Do After a Storm Hits

Even with preparation, storms can cause unexpected damage. Here’s how LES Tree Services can help:

1. Emergency Tree Removal

   Fallen or damaged trees can block driveways, gardens, or roads. Our team provides fast, safe removal.

2. Branch Clearance and Pruning

   Broken or unstable branches pose a risk to property and people. We safely trim or remove them to prevent further damage.

3. Tree Risk Assessments

   After the storm, our expert arborists inspect trees for hidden damage, disease, or structural weaknesses that could cause future hazards.

4. Stump Grinding and Site Clean-Up

   Remove storm-damaged stumps and debris to restore gardens and pathways.
