Summer deadwood and storm hazards: what to check on your St. Louis County property

Post Copy

Summer storms in St. Louis County can move fast, and the trees that create the most risk are usually the ones with accumulated deadwood or structural issues that went unaddressed through spring.

Deadwood is easy to overlook in a full-canopy tree, but it becomes a problem quickly in a wind event. Dead branches have no flexibility left, and they're the first things that come down when a storm pushes through Kirkwood, Fenton, or Eureka. A professional assessment and deadwooding before peak storm season can meaningfully reduce your risk.

S.M.B. Family Tree Service serves House Springs, Ballwin, Des Peres, Eureka, Fenton, High Ridge, Kirkwood, Manchester, Town and Country, and Webster Groves. Free estimates and 24/7 emergency service available.
