Late summer through fall is peak tropical storm season along the Gulf Coast, and the trees most likely to come down in a bad blow are usually the ones that gave warning signs beforehand. A canopy inspection now can catch those signs while there's still time to act.
We look for co-dominant stems with included bark, large dead limbs, old storm damage that never healed correctly, and root zones compromised by construction or drought. Each of those is a weak point that concentrates stress in high wind.
Catching a problem while the ground is dry and access is easy gives far more options than waiting until a storm is already in the forecast. Sometimes the fix is a simple prune; other times it's cabling or a planned removal.
Have you had an arborist look at your trees since the last time a storm passed through your neighborhood?
