Georgia is currently experiencing widespread and severe drought, and trees across the Atlanta area are showing the effects.
The U.S. Drought Monitor's latest data shows 100% of Georgia in drought, with more than 80% of the state at severe levels or worse. For property owners, that means trees are more susceptible to pest infestations, fungal disease, and structural failure. Extreme drought, which covers over 42% of the state, is the threshold where tree mortality begins to accelerate.
Drought damage is often hidden. Root system stress develops underground before any symptoms appear in the canopy. A tree that looks healthy today may be compromised in ways that only a trained arborist can detect.
Southern Tree Pros provides free estimates to homeowners and commercial property owners throughout the Atlanta area. Our certified arborists can assess your trees and recommend the right course of action.
