Late July into August tends to bring the strongest wind and hail events of the Minnesota summer, and the trees most likely to fail during a storm are usually the ones with warning signs that were visible weeks or months beforehand.
Northern Tree offers pre-storm canopy assessments to catch weak limbs, split unions, and lean before wind finds them first. It's a different approach than waiting for storm damage and responding after the fact. A short visit now can identify what needs pruning, cabling, or removal before the next front rolls through the Brainerd Lakes Area.
This is especially worth doing for large shade trees near a house, driveway, or dock, where a failure isn't just inconvenient, it's expensive.
If you've been putting off a look at a tree that concerns you, this is the window to get ahead of it.

Authentic job photo preferred: crew assessing a large shade tree near a home or dock, or a photo highlighting a weak limb or split union before pruning. Real, local photos are strongly preferred over stock imagery.
