Do I Need a Tree Risk Assessment?

- Hanging or broken limbs
- Branches too close to utility lines
- New or increasing tilt

Should I Get a Tree Inspection After a Storm?
Here in Atlanta, GA, the weather can be very unpredictable. Heavy rain or wind can break branches and ruin the structural integrity of your tree, especially if it is unhealthy to begin with. The last thing you want is to deal with a fallen tree, tangled utility lines, or broken tree limbs after a rainy night. If your tree is particularly large, located near structures, or appears damaged after a storm, you should reach out to an arborist for an inspection.
What Does a Tree Inspection Include?
During your tree risk assessment, a licensed arborist will closely examine the condition of your tree and its surrounding environment. They will identify any factors that are contributing to the tree’s diminished health, and they’ll provide you with recommendations for the next steps. Some of the treatments we may recommend include:
- Pruning or branch removal
- Soil nutrient management
- Pest or disease control
- Cabling and bracing
Professional tree risk assessments go far beyond just visual inspections. We use specialized tools to perform tasks like soil quality checks or resistograph testing, which can reveal internal rotting that is impossible to see from the outside.
