Deadwood removal in short
Deadwood removal, or deadwooding, means cutting out the dead, dying, diseased and broken branches from a tree's crown. Dead branches become brittle and can drop without warning, especially in wind, so removing them over gardens, paths, drives, roads and buildings is one of the simplest ways to make a tree safer. A climber removes them and lowers anything heavy on ropes.
- Why
- Dead branches drop without warning, particularly in wind
- Where it matters
- Over houses, cars, paths, roads, play areas and car parks
- Permission
- Removing dead branches is an exception to the TPO rules. We check first
- Extra check
- We look for decay, splits and fungus while we're in the tree
- Wildlife
- Deadwood away from targets can be left for wildlife
Why deadwood matters
All trees shed some dead wood. It only becomes a problem when it is big enough to hurt someone or damage something below.
Dead branches dry out and lose their strength. A storm, heavy rain or even a hot, still day can bring them down, and a branch the thickness of an arm falling from height can do serious damage.
Large amounts of dead wood can also be a sign of something more serious: root damage, disease such as ash dieback, or decay in the trunk. While our climber is in the tree, we look for these and tell you what we find. If the tree needs a proper look, we offer a tree assessment.
In woodland and wilder corners, standing dead wood is valuable habitat for insects, bats and birds. Where it isn't over anything that matters, we can leave some in place.
