⚠ 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

QUESTIONS HOMEOWNERS ASK FIRST

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Cost depends on tree size, location, proximity to structures, and debris volume. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Call us for an on-site walkthrough and you get an honest number before any work begins.

Yes. Trees close to structures require sectional removal. A climber works from the top down, cutting manageable sections controlled with ropes and rigging before anything reaches the ground. Nothing free-falls near your home. We handle close-quarters removals in Jonesboro neighborhoods every week.

Yes, always. Full cleanup is included in the price on every job, not as an add-on. We chip all branches, load trunk sections into dump trailers, rake the entire work area, and haul everything away. Your property looks better when we leave than when we arrived.
