Deadwooding

What is it?

Arguably one of our most important services is deadwooding: removing the branches or limbs of a tree that have died.

There are many reasons dead wood should be cut from the tree, including:

  • Maintaining health and safety for everyone
    Dead branches and limbs can break or fall off, especially during periods of high winds and storms. This can pose a risk to people walking underneath, to wildlife, and to the health of the tree, too – because rot can set in and spread to otherwise-unaffected areas.
  • Saving the tree’s life
    If deadwood is left unattended, it attracts pests and diseases, which are harmful to the tree and environment around it.
  • Retaining the tree’s appearance
    As you can imagine, dead wood is not attractive. It can also reduce the amount of light passing through the branches.
