Deadwood process
How we assess and remove deadwood
Deadwood removal is about reducing risk while keeping the tree intact where it can sensibly be retained.
Assess
Consider the wider tree
Deadwood can be normal in mature trees, but sudden or extensive deadwood can point to condition issues that need careful advice.
Remove
Target the problem safely
The work focuses on removing risky branches without unnecessary heavy pruning or avoidable damage to the remaining crown.

Common questions
Deadwood removal questions
Use these as a starting point. More questions can be added in the Shopify editor as collapsible blocks.
Is all deadwood dangerous?
No. Some deadwood can be normal and valuable for wildlife. The priority is deadwood that presents a practical risk to people, property or access routes.
Can storm-damaged branches be removed?
Yes. Hanging, cracked or storm-damaged branches should be assessed carefully, especially where they overhang used areas.
Can protected trees have deadwood removed?
Protected-tree rules can still matter. If a tree is protected or in a conservation area, it is sensible to check before arranging work unless there is an immediate safety issue.
