Common Storm Damage Scenarios in Lancaster
Uprooted Trees
High winds can uproot entire trees, creating immediate hazards. Our team uses specialized equipment to safely remove uprooted trees while protecting surrounding structures.
Split or Cracked Trunks
Trees with split trunks require careful assessment of tension and stress. Our arborists use precision rigging to safely dismantle these dangerous trees.
Trees on Structures
When trees fall on homes or buildings, careful rigging prevents additional damage during removal. We specialize in delicate extraction operations.
Power Line Entanglement
Trees entangled with power lines require coordination with utility companies. Our certified team follows strict protocols for electrical hazard management.
Professional Landscaper Tip from Jim Lewandowski, ISA Certified Arborist
"When assessing storm-damaged trees, always look for the 'barber chair' - a dangerous splitting pattern where the trunk splits vertically as the tree falls. This creates extreme tension that can cause the tree to snap back violently. Never approach these trees without professional rigging equipment and expertise. In Lancaster's desert climate, dried wood becomes even more unpredictable under stress, making professional assessment critical for safety."

Fascinating Fact About Storm-Damaged Trees
Storm-damaged trees can retain up to 80% of their original weight while losing structural integrity, making them incredibly dangerous. A single large branch can weigh over 1,000 pounds and remain suspended by minimal wood fibers. In Lancaster's high desert climate, wood dries quickly after storms, becoming brittle and even more unpredictable. Professional arborists use load calculation formulas and specialized rigging equipment rated for these extreme forces to ensure safe removal.
