Storm Preparation on the Coast
Before hurricane season, homeowners often focus on deadwood, limbs over roofs, and trees that may have weak structure. The goal is to reduce risk while keeping the canopy that makes the neighborhood special.
Vegetation growing directly against walls and roofs can hold moisture and give pests a path in. Clearance pruning helps.
