Every fact cited
Before eastern South Dakota’s spring storm season ramps up, a proactive risk assessment on any large tree near your house, garage, or power line can catch a weak limb or early lean before it becomes a 2 a.m. emergency call. This is especially worth doing for trees that survived a bad storm the previous year without full assessment — hidden internal damage doesn’t always show from the ground.
Frequently Asked
01
When is Sioux Falls' storm season, and when should I schedule a pre-season check?
Severe thunderstorm and tornado risk in eastern South Dakota is highest in late spring through summer — late winter or early spring is a reasonable time to get a proactive assessment done before that season ramps up.
