A leaning tree isn't automatically a hazard. Plenty of trees across Metro Atlanta grow at an angle their entire lives, shaped by sunlight or prevailing wind, and remain completely stable that way for decades.
The real warning signs are different: a lean that appeared suddenly, soil that's lifting or cracking on one side of the trunk, or roots becoming visible on the side opposite the lean. These point to a failing root system rather than a tree that simply grew crooked.
Boutte Tree's ISA certified arborists can assess a leaning tree quickly and tell you honestly whether it's stable or needs attention. Guessing on your own isn't worth the risk when a fast, professional check settles it.
If you have a leaning tree on your Atlanta, Sandy Springs, or Roswell property you've always wondered about, now is a good time to have it looked at.
