Spring Tree Hazards: Dead Branches and Storm Risk

Post Copy

Spring brings new growth, but it also brings wind. Heavy spring storms can turn dead branches into dangerous projectiles, and a tree full of deadwood is a liability waiting to happen.

If you're looking at your trees right now and seeing branches that didn't leaf out this year, or wood that's turned gray and brittle, that's your signal. Dead branches don't grow back. They don't heal. They're weight hanging in your canopy, waiting to snap off in the next decent windstorm.

The good news? Professional arborists can assess your trees and remove hazardous deadwood quickly. It's a safe job when it's done right, and it protects both your property and anyone who walks beneath those branches. Atlanta's spring and early summer storms are predictable. Tree hazards are preventable.

Do you have trees on your property that you've been meaning to have looked at? What's holding you back from scheduling that free assessment? We're here to help. #TreeCare #AtlantaArborist
