Your own trees can pass hurricane prep with flying colors, and you can still take storm damage this season.
This past weekend, our crew worked through a Lake Worth Beach community, getting properties ready before the season's peak.
Have you ever thought about what happens if the tree three doors down fails, not yours?
In HOA communities and neighborhoods like this one, an untrimmed or overloaded tree does not stay one property's problem once it comes down.
Here is what we grade on every tree before we call a property storm-ready (save this for your own walk-through):
⚠️Root condition. Any lifting, cracking, or soft ground at the base is a red flag.
⚠️Trunk integrity. Look for cavities, deep cracks, or a new lean since last season.
⚠️Canopy balance. A lopsided or overly dense canopy catches wind like a sail.
⚠️Clearance from structures. Anything overhanging a roof, fence, or shared wall gets flagged first.
A community is only as storm-ready as its most neglected tree.
If your HOA or neighborhood in Lake Worth Beach has not had every tree walked and graded yet this season, now is the time before hurricane season reaches its peak.
