Storm Damage Pruning

Q: Can a storm-damaged tree recover with pruning?

Yes. Many trees can recover with professional pruning that removes broken or cracked limbs while encouraging healthy regrowth and restoring structure.

Q: When should storm damage pruning be done?

Storm damage pruning should be done as soon as possible after the storm. Early pruning prevents decay, reduces stress on the tree, and increases its chance of recovery.

Q: Do you provide cleanup after pruning?

Yes. Western Hemlock Tree Services includes full cleanup after every pruning job, including branch chipping and debris removal, leaving your property clean and safe.

Q: How do I know if my tree needs removal instead of pruning?

Our certified arborists will inspect your tree and determine if pruning is sufficient or if the structure has been too severely compromised and requires removal.

After heavy winds or snow, damaged trees often need careful pruning—not just removal.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Western Hemlock Tree took down several trees that were ~200 feet and were within 20-30 feet of the house. They climbed and cut down the tree in segments, and were even able to retain a stump and tree house without damaging it. They did it methodically and efficiently, handled the debris, and cut everything into manageable rounds. They also completely managed the city permitting process, and planting requirements. Everything was fully discussed and clear before work was agreed to and started. Thank you for the great work!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience working with the professional Western Hemlock team on a challenging project to remove and prune several 100+ ft trees on a residential lot.
Brandon provided a detailed assessment, answered all questions, and worked directly with the city to secure approval to proceed. Marc and crew are highly skilled and amazingly precise as they worked together in very close proximity to power lines, our home and our neighbor’s. It’s art in motion. Clean up terrific as well. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marc and his crew did a fantastic job. They were on-time, professional, and friendly. They removed two large trees (>30ft) and two additional tree stumps. They did such a great job, they made it look like the trees were never there to begin with. I will definitely work with Western Hemlock , Marc and his crew again!
