Deadwooding FAQs
What exactly is deadwooding?
Deadwooding is the careful removal of dead, dying, or diseased branches from a tree. It prevents hazards, improves the tree’s health, and keeps your outdoor spaces safe and attractive.
Why should deadwood be removed?
Dead branches can fall without warning, especially during storms, damaging property or injuring people. They can also harbour pests and disease, which may spread to healthy parts of the tree.
Can I remove deadwood myself?
It’s not recommended. Deadwooding often involves working at height and handling heavy, unstable branches. Our qualified arborists have the skills, safety gear, and insurance to carry it out safely.
Will removing deadwood harm the tree?
When done correctly, deadwooding actually benefits the tree. It helps prevent decay, improves air circulation, and encourages healthy new growth — all without affecting its natural shape.
How often should deadwooding be carried out?
Frequency depends on the species, size, and condition of your tree. Many benefit from an inspection every 1–3 years. We can advise on a tailored maintenance schedule after assessing your trees.
