⚠️ STORM PREP UPDATE – SPRINGFIELD, MO ⚠️
Big winter weather is headed our way this weekend, with heavy snow, possible sleet, and strong winds expected. These conditions can be rough on trees—and rougher on anything under them.

Here’s what our customers should know and do now:

🌳 What to Expect
• Heavy, wet snow can overload limbs
• Sleet + snow increases breakage risk
• Wind + ice = higher chance of falling branches or whole trees
• Damage may not show up until after the storm passes

🪵 What You Can Do Before the Storm
✔️ Move vehicles away from trees if possible
✔️ Secure loose items (tarps, swings, decorations)
✔️ Take photos of trees near your home before the storm (helps with insurance if needed)
✔️ Avoid trimming during icy conditions—it can be dangerous and make damage worse

🚫 During the Storm
• Stay clear of trees and hanging limbs
• Do NOT attempt to cut or pull down damaged branches
• Treat downed limbs like they’re energized—especially near lines

🌲 After the Storm
• Watch for cracked, hanging, or leaning limbs
• Trees may look “okay” but still be compromised
• Delayed failures are common days later once temps rise

📞 We’re Ready
Canopy Tree Service will be responding to storm damage calls as conditions allow. Emergency work will be prioritized for blocked driveways, structures, and safety hazards.

If you’re unsure whether a tree is safe—call us before it becomes an emergency.

Stay warm, stay safe, and we’ll see you on the other side of the storm.
