Tree dead wooding from Tree Wise Men

Dead wooding involves the removal of dead or dying limbs from a tree, which can result from various factors such as insufficient light, pest infestations, and diseases that lead to root damage. Eventually, dead branches decay, separate from the parent stem through abscission, and fall off.

While this typically occurs at a gradual pace, it can be hastened by strong winds or extreme temperatures. The primary purpose of dead wooding and tree pruning is to ensure safety. Circumstances that often necessitate such removal include trees overhanging public roads, residential buildings, public spaces, and gardens, as these pose potential hazards. Falling affected tree branches could lead to significant damage to property, vehicles, or even cause injury to pedestrians.

What Is Tree Dead Wooding?

Tree dead wooding is a tree maintenance practice that involves the removal of dead or dying branches from a tree. This process helps to maintain the overall health and structural integrity of the tree while also reducing potential hazards. Dead or dying branches can result from various factors such as inadequate light, pest infestations, or diseases that cause root damage. By removing these branches, tree dead wooding helps to prevent accidents or damage to property, vehicles, or pedestrians caused by falling limbs. Additionally, it promotes the healthy growth of the tree by allowing resources to be directed towards healthy branches.

Advantages of Dead Wooding:

Provides safety to areas under threat by removing the dread branches and limbs before they fall and injure someone.
When the branches are dead, they are an unnecessary weight for the tree to bare. Dead wooding removes this stress, thus reducing wind resistance and giving the tree improved balance.
When dead branches are removed from a tree, it makes the tree look much healthier and make it more aesthetically pleasing to look at.

We had ground workers coming in the next week to do our patio so we needed a job doing quickly and well, and I can’t recommend Sean and his team enough. After giving us a reasonable quote they came in the next week to clear the whole of the back garden, did a great job and left it spotless, without them we wouldn’t have been able to go ahead with the patio so can’t thank them all enough ! Highly recommend!

I was very impressed with Sean from the very beginning, he advised us straight away on the best way forward to reduce our trees helping us gain more light into our conservatory. It was left very tidy after they had finished, and Sean and his team were extremely friendly throughout, worth every penny! Would definitely use again !
