"Stormproofing your garden in autumn is a smart choice as there's a lot of potential for the weather to cause havoc at this time of year. The combination of high winds and torrential rain is never a good thing, especially if you haven't got round to doing a thorough maintenance check in your garden at the end of summer. If trees are buffeted by wind and their roots are growing in waterlogged soil due to increased rainfall"
"Another big risk with high winds is to fence panels, particularly if you haven't maintained your fence with regular checks and repair work. The wind can get behind whole sections and lift them, either causing them to collapse or carrying them away. Including some simple maintenance tasks in your list of September gardening jobs is the best way to try and stormproof your garden before winter."
Autumn storms with high winds and heavy rain create conditions that can uproot trees when roots grow in waterlogged soil, especially for top-heavy specimens, posing structural risks to property, garden buildings, and plants. Fence panels are vulnerable when wind gets behind sections, lifting or collapsing them if not regularly checked and repaired. Simple maintenance tasks in September—checking trees for risk features, securing loose panels, removing or anchoring vulnerable items, and repairing structures—can reduce the chance of damage and expensive repairs. Prevention and timely inspections minimize hazards to gardens and nearby properties during winter storms.
