REQUEST A QUOTE Home / Services / Tree Care / Storm Services TREE SERVICE When Disaster Strikes Lightning can damage or destroy mature trees valued for their shade, beauty, and history – not to mention the potential for harming surrounding people, animals, or structures. Our specialized lightning protection systems help preserve your trees and property when disaster strikes. REQUEST A QUOTE Per the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) guidelines, our team assesses and installs specialized lightning protection systems. These include a system of conductors and ground rods to provide a path of least resistance for lightning to follow, thereby protecting the tree and reducing the risk of damage. 80% of trees struck by lightning experience visible damage and health decline, while the remaining 20% carry no visible injuries, but experience vascular damage and stress leading to poor water transmission, pest and disease issues. Our team of certified arborists will assess the tree for suitability, design the lightning protection system, then install the air terminals, conductors, and ground terminals. The system, made of copper or aluminum, is designed to carry the electrical current away from the tree in order to keep the area safe.
