Thunderstorms
Remember that thunderstorm we had last spring, which resulted in thousands
of fallen trees and damage to numerous homes in North Fulton County? Many
homeowners spent thousands of dollars and weeks cleaning up after that storm.
Usually thunderstorms are synonymous with fallen trees, but that doesn't have
to be the case. If you get your trees checked and taken care of before the next
big storm, you could prevent a lot of potential damage and, therefore, save
the effort and money to clean up that damage.
"Why is it important to have my trees inspected?" you might ask.
- Thunderstorm with high winds. Now that your trees have leafed out, they
can catch the wind and act like a sail during a heavy thunderstorm resulting
in broken branches. That's why it's important to have your trees checked for
structural problems that can make parts of the tree dangerous.
- Dead wood can cause damage. During the winter months, parts of a tree may
have died. It's important to look for large dead wood and remove it before
it becomes dangerous.
- Root rot can cause entire trees to blow over. Now is the time to look for
root rot at the base of the tree to ensure that it doesn't blow over on a
windy day and damage your home, property, other trees or an individual.
- Decay fungi signals more. The presence of decay fungi lets us know there's
active decay in the tree which means it might need to be removed or pruned
before it spreads or causes damage to your home or property if it falls.
Call us at 770-368-0072 or sign up for your FREE tree
inspection before July 15th. An arborist will come to your home, inspect
your trees, and leave a report of the findings. Because this is a free service,
the arborist will come at his/her convenience, so an appointment is not necessary.
You can, however, schedule an appointment to walk and review your property with
an arborist for a $75 fee. We look forward to making sure that your trees are
healthy this summer.
