Emergency Tree Work in Hereford – What to Do After a Storm

Strong winds and heavy rain can wreak havoc on trees, often leaving behind broken branches, uprooted trunks, or dangerously leaning trees. When that happens, time is of the essence. At Prestige Tree Care, we provide fast, reliable emergency tree surgery services in Hereford to help you respond safely and effectively after storm damage.

Common Signs of Storm-Damaged Trees

After a storm, keep an eye out for the following issues:

• Split or cracked trunks and limbs
• Hanging branches (“widowmakers”) in the canopy
• Leaning trees or exposed root plates
• Debris-covered driveways or power line hazards

If you notice any of these signs, do not attempt to handle the tree yourself — especially if it’s large or near structures. Professional intervention is the safest route.

What to Do After Storm Damage

1. Assess from a distance: Stay clear of fallen branches and leaning trees.
2. Do not use ladders or chainsaws: Storm-damaged trees are unpredictable and dangerous.
3. Contact a qualified tree surgeon: Call a team like ours with experience in emergency response and insurance work.
