Our Storm Damage Clean-Up Services
Emergency Response
Storms don’t keep business hours, so neither do we. Our crew is available around the clock to take your call and prioritize your clean-up needs. We’ll be on-site ASAP to assess the damage and start the recovery process.
Safe Debris Removal
Downed trees and large broken limbs are dangerous to remove without proper equipment and training. Our experts use safe rigging and removal techniques to extract debris without causing further damage to your property.
Structural Pruning
After clearing the immediate hazards, we assess your remaining trees for structural integrity. Strategic pruning removes weakened or vulnerable branches and helps the tree recover its stable, balanced form.
Stump Grinding
For trees that were uprooted or damaged beyond saving, we offer efficient stump grinding services to restore a clean, level surface to your yard. We grind the stump 6-12 inches below grade and cover it with topsoil or mulch.
Crane & Bucket Truck Service
For large trees or precarious removals near structures, we bring in crane and bucket truck support. This allows us to perform technical removals safely and efficiently with minimal impact to your landscape.
Storm Prep & Risk Mitigation
The best time to prepare your trees for a storm is long before it hits. CLT Tree offers proactive tree care services to improve your trees’ resilience and reduce the risk of catastrophic failure.
01
Structural Pruning
Regular structural pruning is the single best way to storm-proof your trees. We prune to maintain a strong central leader, remove codominant stems, and eliminate weak branch attachments. The result is a more stable, wind-resistant form.
02
Cabling & Bracing
For trees with structural defects that can’t be solved by pruning alone, we install cables and braces to provide supplemental support. These systems are designed to redistribute weight, limit movement, and reduce stress on weak branches or co-dominant stems.
03
Lightning Protection
While no system can guarantee 100% protection, a properly installed lightning protection system can greatly reduce the risk of catastrophic damage to your trees (and nearby structures) during electrical storms. We use industry-leading materials and follow ANSI A300 installation standards.
04
Pre-Storm Inspections
Before storm season hits, have our experts assess your property for potential hazards. We’ll identify high-risk trees and recommend targeted interventions (pruning, cabling, removal) to minimize the threat of failure and expensive clean-up later.
