Five Signs a Tree on Your Property May Need Professional Attention

Post Copy

Most homeowners don't know what a hazardous tree looks like until after something goes wrong. These five warning signs are worth walking your property for right now, especially heading into the heavy storm months of July and August.

Dead or hanging branches, visible cracks or splits in the trunk, a noticeable lean that wasn't there before, fungal growth at the base, and roots that have lifted or look damaged near the surface. Any one of these can mean the tree is structurally compromised. More than one is a clear signal to call a professional.

A tree evaluation doesn't take long and it gives you real information about what's at risk on your property. We serve Athens, Bogart, Good Hope, Covington, and throughout Northeast Georgia, and we offer free estimates on all services.

If something on your property doesn't look right, call us at (706) 714-8733 or request an estimate at https://porterfieldstumpandtree.com/contact-us/ before the next storm rolls through.

Image / Media Suggestion

A photo of a visibly compromised tree works well: a large crack in a trunk, a severe lean, or fungal growth at the base. Alternatively, a crew member doing a close-up inspection or assessment on a client's property. Real job photos are strongly preferred over stock images.
