A Lawn Service in Miami Shares Hurricane Preparation Tips

Miami, Fla. -- The Billy Goat, a lawn service in Miami, has a few words of advice for this hurricane season. As citizens in South Florida know, hurricane season begins June 1st and stays around until November 30th. It is important to have plans in place for when an unexpected hurricane comes.

On top of having plans and procedures to make sure you and your family are ok, Billy Goat suggests proper lawn care in Miami to help during the hurricane season. One part of lawn care that they say many citizens don't take care of is Trees. Trees are not being properly managed and cared for. Trees can be very damaging and dangerous especially when a hurricane is en route.

If new homeowners are looking to add trees to their law, they should buy the correct kind. They suggest finding trees that are labeled with "Florida #1" or "Florida Dancy". These trees are perfect for hurricane season. They have one single trunk that is put far into the ground.

Danny Macias, the owner of Billy Goat, said, "It is vital to know exactly where to put and plant trees. The wrong area can be harmful to you and your tree."

After choosing the correct tree, homeowners should remember the importance of pruning practices. This is important for their overall health, but it also helps especially when winds are hard. If people don't take care of the trees, it is more than likely that branches will be torn off and thrown around.

Trees are beautiful; they have the ability to outlive humans by a long time. They also have the ability to stand against harsh storms, but they won't beat the storms if not properly taken care of. It is important to properly place, plant, and prune trees. This way they can survive the harsh hurricane season.

"We can help you out," Macias said. "Especially if you don't know what to do, reach out to us. It's better to be safe than risk chances of extra damage during this hurricane season."
