Nor'easter is Heading Towards Philadelphia and Giroud Tree and Lawn Provides Actions Homeowners Can Take to Prepare …

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) February 12, 2014

The Nor'easter looks like it will deliver a heavy, wet mess in Philadelphia. After the massive damage created by last week's storm, Giroud Tree and Lawn provides actions homeowners can take to prepare for and stay safe when the Nor'easter dumps significant snow on Philadelphia, Bucks County and Montgomery County PA.

"Our main concern is family safety," says Lou Giroud, President of Giroud Tree and Lawn and an ISA Certified Arborist. Here are a few actions homeowners can take: 1. Park cars in an open area away from large trees. 2. Once the trees become weighed down with snow:

"Heavy snow and ice loads can weaken trees," says Lou Giroud. "Once the storm passes, it's a good idea to have a professional tree service company check the trees on the property for hidden damage." The following should be part of post-storm inspection and remediation: 1. Safety Inspection: Have an ISA Certified Arborist evaluate trees for cracked limbs, split trunks, weakened root systems and other safety hazards. 2. Remediation: Prune and thin trees that are at highest risk for winter storm damage to lighten the load. White Pines, Arborvitae and Japanese Maple are most susceptible to breakage. However, large deciduous trees such as Oak, Maple and Ash also were heavily damaged in the last storm.

By taking precautions before the storm and then having trees checked and pruned after the storm, homeowners have the power to protect family safety and prevent future damage.
