Services
Comprehensive Storm Cleanup Services
From Fallen Trees to Complete Property Restoration
When storms strike, they can cause various types of tree damage that require different cleanup approaches. Here are the storm cleanup services we provide throughout Northern KY:
Structural Support (Cabling and Bracing)
Our cabling and bracing service provides essential structural support for trees with weak or split branches. This preventive measure can often save a tree that might otherwise require removal.
When It's Needed
When we inspect your trees, we might recommend cabling or bracing to prevent future problems. These support systems are especially helpful for:
Trees with multiple main stems growing from the same point, which can split apart as they grow larger
Large branches that stretch far from the trunk and need extra support, particularly during storms
Branches with weak connections to the trunk that could break under stressTrees that have been damaged by storms and need help healing properly
We also sometimes recommend installing cables or braces before problems develop, especially in trees that show early signs of potential structural issues. This preventive approach can save you from costly emergency work later on.
Lightning Protection Systems
When lightning strikes, it doesn’t just damage trees – it can threaten your home, vehicles, or nearby structures. That’s why protecting high-value trees with a properly installed lightning protection system is a smart investment in both safety and preservation.
Our Approach
We take a full-tree, detail-oriented approach to every lightning protection project. Our team is specifically trained to install systems that follow the highest industry standards – designed to perform and built to last.
We start at the very top of the tree and install a copper or brass wire to direct lightning safely to the ground
The wire runs parallel to the trunk without touching the bark, protecting the tree from damage
The system is grounded with a rod buried at least 8 feet deep, so lightning energy is safely dispersed underground
Each system is custom-designed based on the size, shape, and surroundings of the treeBefore we finish, we inspect the entire setup to make sure it’s complete, secure, and ready to do its job
What Sets Us Apart
Lightning protection isn’t one-size-fits-all – and we don’t treat it that way. Our team takes the time to assess the tree from top to bottom and design a system that covers every detail. With hands-on training and specialized knowledge, we make sure your trees – and your property – are protected the right way.
