Why July?
As July rolls in, it marks the ideal window for Charlotte homeowners to prepare their trees for hurricane season. With peak storms arriving August through September, proactive care now can prevent costly damage later. High winds, saturated soil, and sudden downpours can easily uproot or damage trees that haven’t been properly maintained.
Charlotte is home to a rich urban canopy—from mature oaks in Myers Park to tall pines in Union County. But these same trees can become liabilities during storms if not properly storm-proofed. Here’s how Monster Tree Service of South Charlotte helps local property owners protect their landscape investment.
1. Schedule a Professional Tree Risk Inspection
Before the storms hit, have your trees professionally assessed by an ISA Certified Arborist. Our team evaluates structural stability, soil conditions, canopy balance, and signs of decay or root damage. Early detection of risk factors can be the difference between a healthy tree and a hazardous one.
2. Prune Strategically for Wind Resistance
Proper tree pruning reduces wind resistance and removes weak or overextended limbs that are likely to break in high winds. Our A300-certified crews know exactly how to thin, elevate, and structurally balance trees to maximize stability without sacrificing aesthetics.
3. Install Cabling and Bracing Systems
If you have trees with multiple trunks or large limbs with poor attachment angles, support systems may be needed. Our cabling and bracing services use high-tensile hardware to reinforce weak points and minimize storm-related failures.
4. Root Zone Prep & Soil Management
Windthrow—where trees topple over—is often a root issue. We offer deep root collar excavations and soil decompaction services to promote deeper anchoring and healthier root systems. Healthy roots = strong foundation.
5. Emergency Response Planning
Even with the best preparation, storms can cause surprise damage. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency tree removal with crane-assisted capabilities for large or hazardous trees. You’ll speak to a live person, not a voicemail.
