Deadwood removal & crown cleaning
Deadwood removal and crown cleaning involves removing dead, dying and dangerous branches from the tree canopy.
Occasionally, trees will naturally shed small dead twigs and branches, and this is usually nothing to be concerned about as most trees over 15 years old will have accumulated dead wood in their canopy. It’s not necessarily a sign the tree is in decline; it’s normal for trees to shed branches that aren’t generating enough energy to sustain their place. Sometimes, however, there are large amounts of deadwood that trees struggle to shed naturally and need a bit of help, and this process can be carried out at any time of year.
Larger bits of dead wood should be removed when a tree is overhanging areas of concern such as roads, buildings, public footpaths and so on. When deadwood removal is carried out, our climber will inspect the crown for any other potential hazards, and they may also remove damaged, diseased, dying and crossing branches which are potential hazards if left in the crown.
A tree may not need all its deadwood removed as it can be beneficial to species of insects and birds and may therefore be best left alone.
