Oakcrest Outdoors Releases Free Hurricane Prep Guide for Trees and Palms in Central Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. - Rezul -- Oakcrest Outdoors, an Orlando-based landscaping and tree care company, has published a free guide to help Central Florida property owners prepare their trees, palms and drainage for hurricane season.

Much of the property damage seen after Central Florida storms comes from limbs, palm fronds and whole trees that were already weak before the wind arrived, along with flooding from clogged or undersized drainage. The new guide, "Hurricane Prep for Trees and Palms in Central Florida," walks homeowners, HOA and CDD boards, and commercial property managers through practical steps they can take well before a storm is in the forecast.

The guide covers:

• How to spot warning signs such as dead limbs, trunk cracks, decay and leaning trees
• Pruning that lets wind pass through the canopy without over-thinning or topping
• Why the so-called "hurricane cut" weakens palms, and how to trim them correctly
• When removing a failing tree before the season is the safer choice
• Clearing drains and fixing standing-water areas before heavy rain
• Securing young trees, loose rock and outdoor items
• Setting up a storm cleanup plan with a landscape contractor

"The best time to deal with a hazardous tree is before the storm, not after it," said Leo Velazquez, General Manager of Oakcrest Outdoors. "A little planning in the off-season keeps residents safer, protects property and makes cleanup faster when a storm does come through."

The guide also includes a simple checklist that HOA and CDD boards can bring to their next meeting.
