Atlantic hurricane season builds through late summer, and Nova Scotia properties are not immune to the remnants of tropical systems that track up the coast.
The trees most likely to fail in high wind are not always the ones that look unhealthy. Shallow root systems, heavy or lopsided canopies, and old cabling or bracing that has weakened over time can all turn a strong tree into a real risk once wind speeds climb.
A pre-season inspection catches these issues while there is still time to prune, cable, or in some cases remove a tree before a storm makes the decision for you. HRM properties with large or mature trees near the house benefit most from getting ahead of it.
Waiting until a storm is in the forecast leaves very little time to act.

Authentic photo preferred: a large mature tree near a home, or an arborist inspecting canopy structure. Before/after storm-prep pruning photos, if available, work especially well here.
