Summer in Metro Atlanta means two things for your trees: heat stress building through June and July, and afternoon storm season that can turn a weak branch into a serious hazard overnight. Right now, when trees are in full leaf, is the ideal time for a professional inspection before storm season peaks.
Heat stress shows up as early leaf drop, wilting on the tips of branches, or bark that looks dry and cracked. It often appears first on trees that are already under pressure from root competition, soil compaction, or a previous injury. Catching those signs now, before they compound, can make the difference between a tree that recovers and one that has to come down.
Serving Decatur, Tucker, Lithonia, Lawrenceville, and surrounding Atlanta communities, Don's Tree Service brings over 20 years of local arborist experience to every property assessment. Certified arborists are on staff to evaluate what your trees actually need this season.

Authentic job photo preferred: an arborist inspecting a large shade tree in a residential yard, or a crew working in a leafed-out summer canopy. Close-up of heat-stressed or storm-damaged bark is also effective for educational posts.
