Keep Your Trees Strong For Years To Come
Being proactive with trees is a great way to keep them in good shape. McKee Tree Services helps Avery and Watauga county residents preserve their trees from years to come. Whether the tree needs to be cabled or protected from lightning, we have the tools to get the job done correctly. Each tree is different, so contact us for a free estimate.
Use Lightning Protection For Preventative Maintenance
We protect trees from being falled by lightning using a copper terminal from the top of the tree and drop it down the tree and by any major branches. This way a tree is separate from a direct lightning strike. After this system is in place, it needs to be inspected every five years and a hand’s on inspection every ten years.
We can protect any tree using this system, including old, historic trees or trees with significant personal meaning. Whatever the reason, you can call McKee Tree Services to protect your tree from lightning.
Cable Your Trees To Make Them Stronger
If you have a tree with a limb that looks like it’s about to break, or that has a large split, cabling might be an option if you want to keep the tree, instead of removing it. We cable trees using a synthetic rope to help stabilize and strengthen the tree.
Similar to lightening protection, cabled trees have to be visually inspected every five years and hand’s on inspected every ten years to make sure that the cables are still strong from being out in the sun.
