Tree surgery Aberdeenshire - Storm damaged Poplar trees

Storm Damage

We had a call very early one summer morning after a severe thunderstorm had caused lightning to strike this poor customers Poplar trees, which resulted in a very large tree branch splitting away from one of the main forks and blocking her driveway, narrowly missing her car and house!

Our Aberdeenshire based Tree Surgeons were on site within 1 hour (5.30am) and immediately set-to to clear a path for our customer to get her car out so she could get to work. Our skilled tree removal team then safely brought down the rest of the tree and cleared away all the mess.
