Lightning Protection Service in The Entire Grand Strand

Lightning protection for trees is a system that directs lightning's electrical charge to the ground, away from the tree. This can help reduce the risk of damage to trees from lightning strikes.


Lightning passes through the tree with incinerating and explosive heat. When properly installed, a lighting protection system provides a path of least resistance between the tree canopy and the ground, allowing energy to be safely dissipated and protecting both the tree and its surroundings.
