⚠ JONESBORO STORM RISK
Storm Season Doesn’t Wait. Neither Should You.
Jonesboro sits on one of the most storm-active corridors in Arkansas. Severe thunderstorms with 60 to 80 mph winds regularly sweep through Craighead County, snapping limbs, splitting trunks, and dropping trees onto roofs, fences, and power lines.
The EF3 tornado in 2020 tracked 12 miles through east Jonesboro and damaged over 300 buildings. Storms in May 2025 broke 24 power poles near Caraway Road. When your tree is already compromised, the next storm decides the outcome for you.
- Dead or weakened trees split in the next storm
- A proactive removal costs a fraction of roof repairs
- Emergency crews book out within hours of major storms

Three Questions Jonesboro Homeowners Ask Us First
How do I know if my tree is dead or just dormant?
Dead trees show bark falling off, no spring leaf growth, brittle branches that snap cleanly, and fungal growth at the base. A tree that looks fine from 20 feet away can have a hollow trunk or failing root system. We evaluate it on site and give you an honest answer. If your tree can be saved with trimming or cabling, we tell you that instead of recommending removal.
What should I do about limbs hanging over my roof?
Any branch over your roofline is a liability during storm season. A single white oak limb — the kind that grows across Crowley’s Ridge properties throughout Jonesboro — can weigh several hundred pounds. Selective trimming removes the risk without removing the tree. Addressing it before the next storm is always cheaper than repairing the damage after.
What happens if I ignore a problem tree?
A problem tree does not improve on its own. Dead limbs fall without warning. Internal decay spreads. Root failure accelerates. The longer you wait, the larger the tree grows and the more dangerous and expensive removal becomes. Addressing a hazardous tree on your schedule is always safer and less expensive than dealing with it after it has already caused damage.
More Questions Property Owners Ask
A severe storm damaged my tree. What happens next?
Stay away from the tree, especially near power lines. Call us and we respond the same day. We photograph everything before and after to support your insurance claim.
Can I trim a tree near power lines myself?
No. Trimming near power lines is extremely dangerous. We coordinate with Craighead Electric or Entergy depending on your area before any work begins.
What time of year is best for tree trimming?
Late fall through winter is ideal. Trees are dormant, the canopy is bare, and the full structure is visible. Dead or hazardous limbs should be removed immediately regardless of season.
SEASONAL GUIDE
Tree Care by Season in Jonesboro
March – May
Tornado & Storm Season
Severe thunderstorms with 60-80 mph winds sweep through Craighead County. Weakened trees split, dead limbs fall on roofs. Pre-storm inspections save thousands in repair costs.
June – August
Summer Growth
Hot, humid conditions drive explosive canopy growth. Deadwood becomes hazardous and branches encroach on rooflines. Best window for proactive trimming and canopy thinning.
September – November
Pre-Winter Prep
Leaf drop reveals problems hidden all summer: dead limbs, split trunks, hanging branches. Last window for pruning before ice storms arrive in northeast Arkansas.
December – February
Ice Storm Season
Freezing rain coats branches with ice weight. Loblolly pines snap, hackberry limbs crack, oaks shed major limbs onto structures and power lines. Act now before the first freeze.

WHAT HOMEOWNERS SAY
What Jonesboro Homeowners Say
“After the March storm knocked a sweetgum onto our back fence, they were out the next morning. Cleaned up everything, ground the stump, and you couldn’t even tell a tree had been there.”
Homeowner, Valley View“We had a 60-foot white oak leaning toward our house. They rigged it down in sections without touching the roof or the neighbor’s fence. Written estimate matched the final price exactly.”
Property Owner, Nettleton“I manage rental property near ASU. They handle trimming across four properties twice a year. Always on schedule, always clean, and they send me photos of every job.”
