Safeguard Trees with Lightning Protection Services
At Advanced Tree & Shrub Care, we understand the importance of protecting your trees from lightning strikes. Not only can lightning damage or destroy your trees, it can also pose a safety hazard to your property and loved ones. That’s why we offer lighting protection services to help safeguard your trees and your home.
Our team of Certified Arborists will carefully assess your trees and determine the best course of action to protect them from lightning strikes. This may include installing lightning rods or other protective measures to divert the electricity away from your trees and into the ground.
In addition to protecting your trees, our lighting protection services can also provide peace of mind knowing that your property is safe from the dangers of lightning. Lightning is grounded by utilizing copper conductors that extend from the top of the tree, through the main branches and trunk and out beyond the root zone of the tree. Lightning protection systems installed in trees are designed to protect large, old, valuable, historic/heritage trees in Texas. Other trees that warrant protection are trees within a structure and trees standing alone in a landscape, park or golf course (anywhere people tend to congregate).
Don’t let lightning be a threat to your trees and your home. Contact Advanced Tree & Shrub Care today to learn more about our lighting protection services.
Note: The Texas Forest Service publishes a list of the largest trees in Texas called “The Texas Big Tree Registry”. Trees come and go on the list. One reason trees are replaced is because of storm damage (lightning).
Tree Myth: Lightning does not strike in the same place twice.
Fact: Some trees have a history of multiple strikes.
