Any arborist can confirm that trees are easy targets during a storm. Since trees contain a high level of moisture––and water conducts electricity––unprotected trees can become severely damaged during lightning storms. Lightning most often strikes:
- Cottonwood trees
- Oak trees
- Spruce trees
- Elm trees
- Pine trees
- Tulip trees
- Hemlock trees
- Ash trees
- Maple trees
- Sycamore trees
Expert Lightning Protection Consultations
Not only are trees attractive for electricity, but they occupy the highest point in any landscape. Even in urban spaces, they line streets and circle our homes and schools, ready to be used as a lightning rod during a thunderstorm.
Before our arborists start the installation process, they will assess the trees on your property to determine the severity of damage caused to your trees from lightning. This will allow them to determine if your tree can be rescued with a metal rod installation.
After we provide an on-site consultation, we’ll suggest the next steps to protecting your space from lightning damage.
High-Quality Lightning Rod Installation
We offer protection systems that can almost eliminate the risk of damage to your trees from lightning. This simple system can last years due to our high-quality metals and parts. We use a network of copper wires stretched out along the surface of the tree’s trunk and crown to create a web of wiring.
We’ll place small lightning rods at strategic areas along the highest points of your tree. This network of copper reaches out to the very tops of your trees and extends to cover its longest branches.
After we connect these rods to the cables in the ground, the lightning’s charge will be redirected to the ground instead of on your tree. Regular maintenance of this simple system can prevent high damage and erosion from getting to its roots.
