A damaged tree can create uncertainty after a storm, especially if branches have fallen near a building, vehicle or access route. Begin by keeping people away from the affected area. Observe the tree from a safe distance and note where the damaged limb or trunk is located. Do not stand beneath a hanging branch or try to move a large fallen section yourself. If a tree is touching a utility line, keep clear and contact the utility provider. When you enquire about emergency tree services, tell Lufkin Environmental what has happened, whether anything is blocking access and what you can see from a safe position. Ask about availability and the next step for assessing the situation. An on-site assessment can help determine the appropriate work.
