When Should Dead Branches Be Removed From a Tree?

Dead branches become increasingly likely to fail as the wood deteriorates, so leaving them isn't a neutral decision.

When it matters most

• Over houses, roads or footpaths
• Above parking areas or driveways
• Near play areas or seating
• Over commercial premises or public access
• Where a fallen branch could cause significant damage

Removing deadwood without removing the tree

Deadwood removal is targeted work - dead, dying or damaged branches are removed while the living tree is retained. It doesn't need to mean removing the whole tree.
