Landscaping and Yard Maintenance: Get Ready for Hurricane Season

Proper yard maintenance is a key part of hurricane preparedness in Jamaica. Trimming trees and clearing debris can prevent significant damage to your property during a storm.

Pre-Hurricane Checklist

  • Trim Trees: Cut back overhanging branches near the house and power lines.
  • Clear Drains: Ensure water can flow freely to prevent flooding.
  • Secure Objects: Remove coconuts and loose items that can become projectiles.

Professional Help

Hiring a professional landscaping team ensures the job is done safely and effectively before the season peaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I trim my trees for hurricane season?

It is best to start major pruning in May, before the season officially begins in June, to give trees time to recover.

What about coconut trees?

Coconut trees should be cleaned regularly to remove dry fronds and coconuts, which are dangerous in high winds.
