Preparing Your Landscape for Hurricane Season

by | Jun 20, 2025 | Landscape Services

Preparing your landscape for hurricane season is essential for protecting property, minimizing damage and ensuring long-term plant health. As a national landscaping company with deep experience in storm-prone regions, we know that strong preparation starts long before the forecast.

Strategic tree care is the first line of defense. Pruning weak limbs and removing dead branches helps reduce debris during high winds. Our guide on how to make your landscape storm-resistant emphasizes the importance of proactive maintenance, especially for larger canopy trees and palms.

Drainage should never be overlooked. Pooling water can lead to root rot, erosion and structural issues. Our insights on managing excess water explain how proper grading and clean gutters protect both landscapes and infrastructure. Turning off irrigation systems before a storm also prevents oversaturation.

Palms, particularly vulnerable to wind damage, may suffer internal injuries that aren’t visible immediately. Our article on hurricane-damaged palms outlines what to look for weeks after the storm, including discoloration or canopy collapse—both signs of hidden trauma.

Creating a resilient landscape goes beyond cleanup. Our tailored landscaping services focus on long-term health, selecting the right plants for your soil and region. We also specialize in microclimate management, ensuring the landscape thrives year-round, even after extreme weather.

Through consistent care, expert planning and storm-specific strategies, your outdoor environment can weather hurricane season with strength. Partnering with a professional landscaper ensures your landscape is not only protected but positioned to recover and flourish.
