Dead Wood Cutting

What we do

Dead wood in a tree is a real hazard, especially over paths, patios, drives and parking. Phoenix Trees removes dead, diseased, cracked and hanging limbs across Kent and Medway, reducing the risk to people and property and helping the tree stay healthy.

We inspect the whole crown, identify what needs to go, and remove it cleanly without stressing the tree. Larger dead limbs over targets are rigged and lowered under control.

Everything we remove is chipped and recycled, and we leave your garden clean and safe.

More about this service

Spotting the risk before it drops

Dead wood does not announce itself until it fails. Our arborists read the whole tree, looking for dead, cracked and hung-up limbs, weak unions and signs of decay, and prioritise anything over a path, drive, patio or parking space.

Removing dead wood correctly reduces the risk to your family and property and helps the tree stay healthy. We take out only what needs to go, cut to standard, and chip and recycle everything we remove.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my tree has dangerous dead wood?
Signs include bare branches with no leaves in summer, brittle or hanging limbs, and bark falling away. If you are not sure, we can inspect the tree and advise.
Is dead wood always removed?
Not always. In some settings a little dead wood is good for wildlife. Over paths, patios and parking, though, it is safest removed. We will recommend the right balance.
Will removing dead wood harm the tree?
No, done correctly it helps. We take out only what needs to go and cut to standard so the tree stays healthy.
Is dead wood dangerous?
It can be, especially over paths, patios, drives and parking, where a falling limb could cause injury or damage. We prioritise those areas.
Can you inspect my tree for dead wood?
Yes. We can assess the crown and advise what, if anything, needs removing, and give you a free quote for the work.
Do you recycle the dead wood you remove?
We do. Everything is chipped on site and recycled, so nothing goes to waste and your garden is left clean.
