Georgia's peak thunderstorm season kicks off in June. Before the first major storm rolls through, now is the time to walk your property and take a hard look at what's overhead.
The trees most likely to cause damage during a storm aren't always the ones that look sick. What to look for: deadwood hanging in the canopy, large branches growing toward the house or power lines, multiple heavy limbs with tight, compressed unions at the trunk, and any tree that's been leaning more noticeably than usual after wet spring soils. These are the warning signs of a tree that may not survive a 60-mph wind gust.
Storm damage is rarely random. A certified arborist can spot structural risks before they become emergency calls at 2 in the morning. We've been doing this across Gwinnett, Walton, North Fulton, and the surrounding counties for more than 20 years. Prevention always costs less than cleanup.
Before storm season gets into full swing, give your property a walkthrough. Is there a tree on your property that's been giving you pause? What does it look like, and how close is it to your house?
