Drought Stress Assessment
Atlanta’s trees just lived through a six-month drought. Now they’re sitting in saturated soil.
The trees that struggled through the dry months don’t show it on the day of the rain. The symptoms surface in the canopy four to eight weeks later. A $175 Drought Stress Assessment puts an ISA-Certified Arborist on your property to find out what’s actually happening.
What the Drought Stress Assessment Includes
One hour, on your property, with an ISA-Certified Arborist. We walk the trees of concern, check root flare and visible structure, and leave you with a written read on what each one needs.

Drought Stress Doesn’t End When the Rain Comes
Trees that struggled through Atlanta’s dry stretch this winter and spring are now sitting in saturated soil. That swing is its own kind of stress, and the symptoms show up in the canopy four to eight weeks later, not the day of the rain.
A Drought Stress Assessment ($175) gets an ISA-Certified Arborist on your property to diagnose what’s happening below the canopy: root condition, soil health, and any signs of decline that need real attention.
When the assessment surfaces something treatable, our Plant Health Care program is the season-long follow-through. Soil injections, targeted biostimulants, root-zone work, and scheduled monitoring visits, the kind of care that helps a stressed tree recover instead of slowly declining over the next two seasons.
Ask about adding PHC to your assessment when you call.
