In North Texas, storms are not just seasonal—they’re expected. With high winds, heavy rain, and the occasional hailstorm, homeowners are often at risk of property damage caused by overgrown or weakened trees. One of the smartest—and often overlooked—preventative steps is regular tree trimming.
At Salas Services, we specialize in tree trimming and pruning to help protect your home, vehicles, and landscape from storm-related hazards. Let’s explore how professional tree trimming can prevent costly damage before the storm clouds even roll in.
Dead, diseased, or weak branches are the first to snap when winds pick up. These limbs can become dangerous projectiles, damaging roofs, windows, fences, and even causing injury.
Regular tree trimming identifies and removes these vulnerable branches before they pose a threat, keeping your property and family safe.
Overgrown trees with dense canopies act like sails in the wind. This added resistance increases the chances of the tree uprooting or splitting during storms.
By thinning out the canopy through professional pruning, you reduce the wind load on your tree, allowing wind to pass through more easily and decreasing the likelihood of catastrophic failure.
Trees growing too close to power lines, roofs, or siding create major risks during storms. A falling limb could knock out power, tear gutters, or cause leaks and structural damage.
Strategic trimming by experienced arborists ensures your trees maintain safe distances from utility lines and your home, minimizing potential damage and avoiding utility service disruptions.
Tree trimming doesn’t just prevent damage—it strengthens your trees. Proper pruning encourages healthier growth patterns and strengthens branches over time.
Healthy, well-maintained trees are far more resilient during storms and recover faster if damaged.
Trees that are overgrown can block visibility of driveways, sidewalks, or entry points, which becomes especially dangerous during heavy rain or wind.
Trimming improves visibility and ensures safe access for you, your family, and emergency services—especially during severe weather events.
The cost of professional tree trimming is significantly less than the cost of repairing a roof, replacing a car, or fixing downed power lines.
Preventive maintenance is an investment in peace of mind. With Salas Services, you can avoid last-minute panic and expensive storm-related repairs.
While safety is the priority, regular trimming also keeps your trees looking beautiful and balanced. A well-maintained landscape boosts curb appeal and overall property value—without the hazards.

The frequency of tree trimming or pruning depends on various factors such as tree species, age, and overall health. As a general guideline, it is recommended to have trees pruned every 3-5 years to maintain their shape, promote healthy growth, and remove any hazardous or dead branches.
The ideal time to plant new trees depends on the tree species and climate.
