The Hidden Danger of Deadwood

Deadwood doesn't need a storm to fall. The internal wood fibres in dead branches lose strength over time, and they can drop silently — onto your roof, car, or family in the garden below. Our arborists conduct a systematic canopy inspection to identify all at-risk deadwood, from large heavy limbs to smaller branch tips that are often missed.

Why Deadwood Removal Matters:

✅ Reduce Falling Branch Risk: Eliminate the number one cause of residential tree injury and property damage.

✅ Improve Tree Health: Dead wood harbours fungi, decay, and pests that can spread into healthy tissue. Remove it early.

✅ Better Looking Trees: A clean canopy free of dead stubs and branch skeletons looks far healthier and more attractive.

✅ Extend Tree Lifespan: Removing deadwood redirects the tree's energy into new, healthy growth.

What Our Service Includes:

• Full canopy inspection to identify all dead, dying, or structurally compromised branches

• Safe removal of deadwood using ropes, rigging, and elevated access equipment

• Treatment of cut surfaces to prevent decay and disease entry where required
