Know What Your Trees Are Telling You
A careful visual assessment considers the tree, its condition, the surrounding site, and what could be damaged if a branch or the whole tree failed.
What we evaluate
Focused Tree Risk Assessments for Kennesaw Properties
Visible symptoms do not always reveal the full story. We organize the assessment around the defect, the likelihood of failure, and the consequences if failure occurs.
Cracks, Cavities, and Structural Defects
Evaluate visible wounds, decay pockets, included bark, seams, cavities, and damaged trunk sections that may reduce strength.
Deadwood, Weak Unions, and Hanging Limbs
Review major branches, attachments, canopy balance, dead limbs, storm damage, and overextended growth above valuable targets.
Leaning Trees and Heavy Limbs
Consider lean, load, branch leverage, recent movement, soil conditions, and whether the tree has adapted or is changing.
Closer Review of Upper-Canopy Concerns
When appropriate, elevated access can provide a closer look at suspicious unions, storm-damaged limbs, and defects not visible from the ground.
From assessment to action
The Right Recommendation Depends on the Risk
Not every concerning tree needs to come down. Some trees can be monitored or improved with professional trimming. Trees with unacceptable structural risk may require tree removal.
When removal is selected, we can also discuss stump grinding. For broader property work, visit our land and lot clearing page or return to the Kennesaw Tree Service homepage.

FAQs
Tree Risk Assessment Questions
When should I request a tree risk assessment?
Request an assessment when you notice cracks, cavities, mushrooms, dead limbs, sudden lean, exposed or damaged roots, storm damage, soil lifting, or major branches extending over valuable targets.
Does a leaning tree always need to be removed?
No. Some trees naturally lean and have adapted over time. A new or increasing lean, soil movement, root damage, or a lean toward a high-value target deserves prompt evaluation.
Can you tell whether a tree is hollow or decayed?
A visual assessment can identify many decay indicators and cavities. Some conditions require advanced diagnostic testing or a consulting arborist before the extent of internal decay can be confirmed.
Will an assessment tell me whether to prune or remove the tree?
The goal is to identify reasonable risk-reduction options. Depending on the findings, the recommendation may be pruning, monitoring, support, additional testing, or removal.
Should trees be checked after a major storm?
Yes, especially when trees are close to homes, driveways, streets, power lines, or frequently used areas. Storms can create cracks, hanging limbs, root movement, and weakened attachments.
Do you provide tree risk assessments in Kennesaw?
Yes. Call or submit the form with the tree location, visible symptoms, recent changes, and any structures or areas that may be at risk.
