Deadwood Removal

Deadwood Removal Leicestershire-

Trees offer so many benefits to the environment both world wide and locally.  However, owning a tree comes with certain responsibilities.

As a tree canopy naturally develops some branches become surpressed by adjacent branches and the tree casts the branches off.  Initially the branches remain in the tree, which offers unique habitat for fungi, insects, bats, etc.  At some point the branches will fall from the tree which represent a risk to persons, plants or buildings below.  If you own a tree you have a duty of care to ensure that the tree is in a safe manner.  Domestic clients need to have their trees checked periodically by asking a a tree work professional such as one of our arboricultural advisors (not someone claiming to be a tree surgeon but only qualified to use a chainsaw) visit site and see if any works are required.  Commercial clients will need to consider safety surveys to cover their duty of care.  

When deciding whether a tree requires deadwood removal the potential targets should be considered.  If the dead branches are hanging above a road or public footpath then the risk to others is higher than if above a shrub bed.

If your tree has high levels of dead branches then this may be due to another factor causing the tree stress, such as a root disease.

The Arboricultural Advisors here at Beddow Tree Specialists will be able to advise you as to which trees need deadwood removal and why the dead branches have occurred in the first place.  They will also be able to advise you which trees can retain there dead branches for habitat use.

“Just a quick feedback on the tree removal job ….

The team were excellent on all 3 days of the job under the first class leadership of Ben.

Safety, communication and tidiness were consistently demonstrated and I have to commend Ben on his sustained effort on the Tuesday in bringing down the two largest trees in difficult conditions.

I would certainly recommend your team to others and thank you for a job well done”.

“They came when they said they would to fell our much loved but 25 metre high ash tree that had to be removed due to ash die back. It was a very large tree close to other gardens and our house that took 2 days to safely remove but they did it for a competitive price, they were a very polite crew who worked hard and left my garden, driveway and neighbours gardens all very tidy.

Excellent job very pleased would happily recommend, thank you”.
