🌴 Preparing for Cyclone Season in Far North Queensland: Why Tree Lopping Matters

As cyclone season approaches across the Cassowary Coast, Innisfail, Ingham, and Cairns regions, LSF Tree & Vegetation Services is reminding local property owners that a little preparation can make a big difference.

Tree lopping isn’t just about tidying up—it’s one of the most effective ways to reduce storm damage and keep your home, family, and community safe.

🌪 Why Cyclone Preparation Starts with Tree Maintenance

In Far North Queensland, strong winds, heavy rain, and saturated soils can easily bring down unstable trees.

Overgrown branches and dense canopies act like sails in high winds, increasing the chance of limbs snapping or trees toppling altogether.

Regular tree lopping and vegetation management helps to:

Remove dead, decayed, or overhanging limbs that pose a risk to roofs, sheds, and powerlines.

Reduce canopy density so wind can pass through more easily

Maintain clearance from driveways, fences, and structures

Improve the overall health and structure of your trees

🌳 What We Look For During a Pre-Cyclone Tree Inspection

At LSF Tree & Vegetation Services, we conduct thorough visual inspections to identify risks before the storms arrive.

Our qualified team checks for:

  • Cracked or split limbs

Trees leaning towards buildings

Loose bark or deadwood in the canopy

Uplifted root systems

Once assessed, we provide practical recommendations—whether it’s light pruning, full tree removal, or stump grinding—to ensure your property is cyclone-ready.
