Why Canopy Thinning Before Summer Storms Protects Your Property

Post Copy

A dense, overgrown canopy acts like a sail in high winds. When summer thunderstorms roll through the Naugatuck Valley, trees with heavy, unpruned crowns are far more likely to lose large limbs or tip entirely than trees that have been properly thinned and balanced.

Canopy thinning removes select interior branches to allow wind to pass through more easily while preserving the tree's natural shape and health. It also reduces weight load on limbs that extend over your roof, driveway, or fence line. Done correctly by a certified arborist, it's one of the most effective ways to reduce storm risk without removing a healthy tree.
