Don’t Wait for a Storm to Test Your Trees

Severe weather can put significant stress on trees, particularly those with weak branches, structural defects, disease, or existing damage. Ottawa has seen firsthand how quickly severe weather can affect trees and the properties around them. During the May 2022 derecho, hundreds of thousands of mature trees were lost across Ontario and Quebec.

What Can Happen When Trees Aren’t Storm-Ready?

Trees with existing weaknesses can become significantly more dangerous when exposed to high winds, heavy snow, or ice. Potential risks include:

  • Tree failure
  • Property damage
  • Power line damage
  • Blocked access
  • Damage to nearby trees
  • Increased cleanup needs

Tree storm preparation provides an opportunity to identify these concerns before severe weather arrives.

At SpinBlade, our certified arborists assess the condition and surroundings of your trees to determine what, if anything, should be addressed before severe weather hits. By assessing tree structure and addressing manageable hazards ahead of time, professional preparation can help reduce the likelihood of preventable failures and leave your property better prepared for the next major storm.

Our Full Range of Services

Popular Services

Our tree removal service is designed to safely and efficiently take down trees that pose a risk, no longer serve a purpose, or stand in the way of your plans. Whether it’s a dead tree leaning toward your home or a healthy one in the wrong spot, we handle the job from assessment to clean-up with minimal disruption to your property.

Our tree cutting service involves the partial or complete cutting of trees for safety, clearance, or land management purposes. Unlike trimming, tree cutting may include felling an entire tree or cutting it down in sections—often as a step toward full removal or major site clearing.

Our stump removal service eliminates the entire tree stump and root system left behind after a tree is cut down. It’s designed to clear the way for new landscaping, prevent regrowth, and eliminate tripping hazards or insect infestations—leaving you with a clean, level surface.

Our stump grinding service reduces the tree stump to wood chips by grinding it down below ground level. It’s a quicker, less invasive alternative to full stump removal, ideal if you want the stump gone without disturbing the surrounding area or underground roots.

Our land clearing service removes trees, brush, stumps, and debris to prepare your property for construction, landscaping, or farming. We clear the area efficiently and safely, giving you a clean, ready-to-use space.

Hedge trimming is all about cutting back overgrowth to keep your hedges neat, healthy, and under control. We shape them with care so they look great and grow better over time.

Our commercial tree services are tailored for businesses and large properties, offering expert tree care, removal, and maintenance that meet safety regulations and minimize disruption to your operations. We handle everything from routine trimming to emergency response with professionalism and efficiency.

Prevention, Security & Emergency

Our emergency tree service is available 24/7 to deal with storm-damaged, fallen, or dangerously leaning trees that pose an immediate risk to people or property. We respond quickly, assess the situation safely, and take fast action to remove hazards and prevent further damage.

Our storm preparation service helps safeguard your property by inspecting and securing trees before severe weather hits. We trim weak branches, assess high-risk trees, and take preventative steps to reduce the chances of storm damage, giving you peace of mind when the winds pick up.

Our storm damage service involves the cleanup and repair of trees affected by severe weather. We remove broken branches, fallen trees, and debris to restore safety and prevent further property damage, helping your landscape recover quickly after a storm.

Our tree cabling service installs flexible support systems to strengthen weak or vulnerable branches and trunks. This helps prevent breakage, extends the life of your trees, and keeps them safe during storms or heavy winds.

Tree Care & Other

Our tree trimming service shapes and maintains your trees by selectively removing branches to improve health, appearance, and safety. It helps prevent overgrowth, reduces hazards, and encourages strong, balanced growth.

We prune trees to help them grow strong, stay healthy, and look great year after year. Our team knows exactly what to cut and what to leave to keep your trees at its best. So, if you are looking for tree pruning in ottawa, you’re in the right place.

Our tree care services cover everything needed to keep your trees healthy and thriving, like pruning, disease treatment, pest control, and soil management. We tailor care plans to ensure your trees grow strong and beautify your property for years to come.

Our tree disease treatment service identifies and manages illnesses affecting your trees. Using expert diagnosis and targeted treatments, we help stop the spread of disease, protect tree health, and extend their lifespan.

Our certified arborists provide expert assessments and detailed reports on tree health, safety, and risk. Whether for property management, development, or insurance purposes, our thorough evaluations help you make informed decisions backed by professional advice.

Our tree assessment includes a detailed inspection of your tree’s health, structure, and overall condition. We check for signs of disease, decay, root issues, and structural weaknesses, then provide expert recommendations for care or removal if needed.

Our tree transplanting service carefully digs up and relocates mature trees to a new location, preserving their health while making room for landscaping changes or construction projects. It’s a way to save valuable trees rather than cutting them down.

When Should You Schedule Tree Storm Preparation?

Storm preparation is most useful before severe weather is on the way, while there is still time to identify and address vulnerable trees. A professional assessment can help spot conditions that may increase the likelihood of branch or tree failure during high winds, heavy snow, or ice.

Storm damage prevention may be especially worthwhile if you notice:

  • Dead or Broken Branches
  • Weak Branch Unions
  • Cracks or Cavities
  • Leaning Trees
  • Recent Storm Damage
  • Trees Near Structures
  • Branches Near Power Lines
  • Large or Mature Trees

Addressing potential hazards before a major storm can give you more options than waiting until a tree or branch has already failed.

Why Property Owners Trust SpinBlade

Tree storm preparation requires more than simply looking for damaged branches. SpinBlade combines certified arborist knowledge with practical experience to identify vulnerabilities and determine which concerns can realistically be addressed before severe weather arrives.

Certified Arborists

Our certified arborists understand the structural characteristics that can make trees more vulnerable to wind, ice, and heavy snow, allowing them to assess potential storm risks more accurately.

Focused Storm Assessments

We look beyond the tree itself, considering its size, structure, condition, and proximity to homes, vehicles, power lines, and other areas that could be affected if something fails.

Preventative Tree Care

When a manageable risk is identified, we can recommend appropriate measures such as deadwood removal, structural pruning, or cabling rather than assuming removal is the answer.

Experience With Ottawa Weather

Ottawa trees face heavy snow, ice, strong winds, and rapid seasonal changes. Our local experience helps us understand the types of conditions trees may face throughout the year.

Not every tree requires work before a storm. We focus on identifying meaningful vulnerabilities and recommending the steps that make sense for the condition and location of each tree.

Yes, particularly if your property has experienced strong winds, heavy snow, or ice. A post-storm inspection can identify broken branches, cracks, leaning, or other damage that may not be immediately obvious.

It can. Where appropriate, structural pruning or removal of dead and hazardous branches may be recommended as part of preparing a tree for severe weather.

Yes, trees growing near utility lines can be assessed as part of tree storm preparation. Because work around energized lines can be hazardous, the appropriate approach depends on the location and circumstances, and utility providers may need to be involved.
