Winters in Grover Beach are usually characterized by back-to-back winds, storms marked by moisture, and occasional cold snaps. These are tough environments for trees, particularly eucalyptus, cypress, and pine—three types that fall off during inclement weather.
To keep up with winter debris:
Give precedence to Weak or Overloaded Limbs.
Wind and dampness = large branches. Trim them before winter storms come.
Chipping should be done before debris accumulates.
Branches lying for weeks go green and mouldy. Safety is achieved through quick chipping.
Protect the soil with Wood Chips.
Plant a protective mulch cover prior to soil erosion by winter rain.
Avoid DIY Storm Cleanup
Storm-damaged wood can shift. It is safer to call an emergency tree service.
Keep Pathways Clear
Even branches on the sidewalks (even small ones) can pose a danger of a trip, especially in the aftermath of heavy evening fog when they get wet.
Seasonable chipping is one of the simplest methods to ensure safety and prevent damage near your house.
