Tall or isolated trees are at a higher risk of lightning strikes, particularly in the storm-prone Pacific Northwest. A single strike can cause explosive damage, splitting trunks, destroying limbs, and often killing the tree. Arbor Barber’s lightning protection systems safely redirect this energy, guiding it from the top of the canopy through a copper or aluminum conductor cable down to a ground rod buried deep in the soil. This prevents catastrophic injury to the tree while protecting your property and loved ones from falling limbs or debris.

Installing a lightning protection system is a proactive way to safeguard your property’s most important trees.
Over time, trees grow and conditions change. That’s why we recommend annual inspections to check for corrosion, wear, and proper system function. Routine maintenance ensures your protection system continues to work effectively through the years.
A lightning strike doesn’t just endanger the tree itself—it can also damage nearby structures and create safety risks. Arbor Barber’s systems provide peace of mind, protecting your property and ensuring your trees remain safe, resilient features of your landscape.
Homeowners often have questions about whether their trees need lightning protection. Here are some common answers.
The system provides a safe, low-resistance path for lightning to travel from the highest point of the tree to the ground, dispersing the energy harmlessly.
Tall, isolated, or highly valuable trees—especially those near homes, barns, or gathering spaces—are the best candidates for protection systems.
No. We use non-invasive fasteners that expand as the tree grows, avoiding drilling or wounding that could introduce decay.
We recommend annual inspections to check for corrosion, growth adjustments, or other issues that could affect performance.
We use copper or aluminum conductor cables, the industry standard for effective and durable lightning protection.
