What is Deadwood Removal?

Deadwood removal focuses on identifying and removing dead, dying, or non-living branches from trees and shrubs. While dead branches are a natural part of a plant’s lifecycle, they can become safety hazards, invite pests and disease, and negatively impact the overall appearance of your landscape.

Our arborists carefully remove deadwood to improve tree health, reduce risk to people and property, and keep your trees looking clean and well maintained. This service is often recommended as part of routine maintenance or after storms, drought, or disease stress.

Benefits of Deadwood Removal

• Improves safety by removing branches that could fall unexpectedly

• Reduces disease and pest issues by eliminating decaying wood

How Do I Know If My Tree Needs Deadwood Removal?

Your tree may need deadwood removal if you notice brittle branches, limbs without leaves during the growing season, or branches that easily break off in the wind. Deadwood is often more noticeable after storms, drought, or periods of stress, and it can pose a safety risk if located over walkways, driveways, or near your home.

If you’re unsure, a professional assessment can help determine which branches should be removed without harming the tree. Regular inspections and routine maintenance are the best way to keep your trees healthy, safe, and looking their best.
