We’re not even a full month into 2026 yet, and already January has delivered its third named storm. This time, the culprit is Storm Chandra — bringing with it high winds, heavy rain, and the kind of disruption that can leave gardens and outdoor spaces looking worse for wear.
Repeated storms in such a short space of time can cause cumulative damage. What might seem like a minor issue after one storm can quickly turn into a bigger problem when the next one hits. From fallen fences and damaged trees to slippery patios and destroyed sheds, storm damage is something that needs dealing with quickly and safely.
If your property has been affected, Clive’s Gardening Services (CGS) is here to help.
One of the most serious issues after a storm is tree damage. High winds can snap branches, loosen roots, or leave trees leaning dangerously. Even if a tree hasn’t fallen, hidden structural damage can make it unsafe and unpredictable.
For any type of tree damage, CGS works in partnership with the region’s best tree surgeons. This means expert assessments, safe removals, and professional care that puts safety first — for your property and for the people around it. If you’re unsure whether a damaged tree poses a risk, it’s always better to have it checked sooner rather than later.
Sadly, sheds and summerhouses often take the brunt of strong winds. A structure that has been weakened over time can easily collapse or be torn apart during a storm like Chandra.
If your shed has been flattened or badly damaged, CGS can take care of everything from removal to replacement. We can safely clear away the old structure, supply a new shed or summerhouse, and install it securely so it’s built to withstand future weather challenges.
Blown-out fence panels are one of the most common sights after a storm. Missing or damaged fencing not only affects privacy and security but can also leave gardens exposed to further wind damage.
CGS can replace damaged panels or refresh your fencing altogether. We use premium fence panels made with thick wooden boards, designed for durability and long-lasting strength. Whether it’s a single panel or an entire run of fencing, we’ll make sure it’s sturdy, straight, and storm-ready.
Heavy rain and mild winter temperatures create the perfect conditions for algae and moss to thrive. After storms, patios, paths, and driveways can quickly become green, slippery, and hazardous.
Our jet washing service removes built-up algae, moss, and grime, restoring surfaces and helping to prevent slips and falls. It’s a simple but highly effective way to make your outdoor spaces safer and more presentable after severe weather.
Storms like Chandra are a reminder of how unpredictable the weather has become. Acting quickly after storm damage can prevent further issues and help protect your property.
