Mitigate tree safety risks with Wickes' storm damage prevention and support structure systems for trees. Our tree safety solutions, like tree cabling and bracing, help de-stress, strengthen and protect your trees.
Our certified arborists specialize in tree risk assessments to determine if a tree poses a threat to you and your property.
All trees are not created equal. Since some of the most beautiful trees may be structurally weak, our Certified Arborists recognize structure problems and recommend proper action. Structural problems are most apparent at tree forks, where limbs (and even trunks) grow at acute angles and fight for space. Eventually wind, snow, ice, or even the weight of their own branches can cause the weaker of the two limbs to break. The chances of this happening can be reduced by cabling and bracing. Our arborists brace the weak area with special steel rods and install cables in the crown to reduce the stress. After a few years these repairs are virtually invisible.
The dangers lightning poses to trees, life and property are well known. What is less well known is that all trees are not equally susceptible to lightning strikes. Our Certified Arborists can identify which trees attract lightning most, and how to protect them, your property, and you.

A tree risk assessment by your local certified arborist can help determine if the tree’s structure has been affected.
Your arborist will carefully assess your tree for signs of failure and recommend the best next step. If there’s structural damage or your tree poses a safety risk, tree removal may be recommended.
For your safety, if storm damage left large hanging branches or broken power lines, call your local arborist to assess the situation immediately because your tree poses a risk and could fall or break at any time.
