In much the same way you protect your home against lightning, the tall graceful trees that beautify your property need protection as well. Especially in areas like ours that are prone to severe lightning storms. (Remember, up to 30% of your home's value is based on its landscaping and the natural beauty of the trees that surround it.) If a tree on your property has already been hit, it is essential that you have an expert address the damage quickly. Lightning-struck trees often have internal damage or severe cuts that could eventually kill the whole tree. Prevent damage in the first place by installing lightning protection in your highest-value trees.
