After a wet winter, Central Alabama trees need attention. Heavy rainfall and saturated soil can stress trees that weren't prepared for prolonged moisture or wind-rocked during storms. Now that conditions are drying out, it's time to assess what damage occurred and what corrective action helps.
We're seeing increased root stress, branch failure from wind loading while soil was soft, and early signs of fungal issues. Trees that looked fine in March may show problems as growth accelerates in April warmth. Early intervention prevents small problems from becoming major hazards.
ACE's arborists check for weakened structure, disease entry points, and health decline that needs treatment. Preventive pruning and risk reduction now pays off in summer and fall safety.
Have you noticed any problems with your trees since winter ended, like dead branches, unusual lean, or branches that look stressed?
