Anyone else notice how our Madison winters seem to target the biggest, most beautiful trees?

Here’s something that might surprise you: just half an inch of ice can make tree branches 30 times heavier than normal. That gorgeous oak in your yard? It could become a 10,000-pound problem overnight.

Living between our lakes means ice storms hit us differently than other areas. The good news? Most ice damage is preventable with the right preparation.

We just published a comprehensive guide covering everything Madison homeowners need to know about protecting their trees (and property) from ice storm damage.
