🌧️ RAIN MAY HELP SOME TREES… BUT IT CAN MAKE OTHERS A LOT MORE DANGEROUS. 🌳⚠️
After days of heavy rain, healthy trees often benefit from the extra moisture. Their roots absorb water, growth improves, and stress from summer heat can be reduced.
But dead, dying, or damaged trees tell a different story.
Excessive rain can:
✅ Soften the soil around weakened root systems
✅ Increase the weight of limbs and trunks
✅ Expose hidden decay and structural weaknesses
✅ Cause dead trees to lean, split, or fall without warning
Many tree failures happen after a storm has passed, not during it.
Take a look around your property:
🔍 Trees leaning more than usual
🔍 Dead limbs hanging overhead
🔍 Mushrooms growing near the base
🔍 Cracks in the trunk or major limbs
🔍 Trees with little to no leaf growth
If you notice any of these signs, now is the time to have them evaluated before they become a threat to your home, vehicles, fences, or family.
📞 Contact A&O Tree Service for a professional assessment.
Don’t wait for the next storm to reveal a problem. Address it while you still have options.
