Tree Trimming: Protecting Your Home from Falling Branches

Fall in Central Texas means unpredictable storms, and overgrown trees can pose serious risks to your home. A little trimming now can prevent a lot of damage later.

Why Tree Maintenance Matters

  • Protects your roof and siding from falling branches.
  • Prevents power outages from downed lines.
  • Improves tree health and curb appeal.
  • Reduces liability if branches damage a neighbor’s property.

How It Affects Your Insurance

While homeowners insurance may cover storm damage, claims may be reduced or denied if damage is tied to obvious neglect—like a dead limb left hanging over your roof.

Fall To-Dos

  1. Trim back overhanging branches.
  2. Remove dead or diseased trees.
  3. Keep branches clear of power lines (hire a pro if needed).
  4. Document maintenance with photos.
