Dead Wooding

What is Dead Wooding treatment?

Dead wooding is the removal of dead branches up to specific diameters. Dead wooding is a health treatment. It reduces possible food sources for dangerous pests and can limit diseases. Well fed sources exert a strong force against your tree’s natural defence system. If your tree’s defence system is low on energy these sources will spread rapidly and your tree will waste additional energy to protect itself. The removal of dead and dying branches reduces hazards and improves the appearance of the tree.

Dead wooding prevents the risk of damage from falling pieces onto a property, surrounding infrastructure, or people. Deadwood can also harbour pests and diseases such as fungi or boring insects, that could eventually affect the living tree in part or whole. To ensure the health and safety of your trees, the removal of dead branches and limbs is often required. Diseased, damaged, dead and dying branches and limbs pose a significant safety risk to your property and your family and should be addressed on a regular basis.

The removal of dead wood addresses a tree owner’s legal responsibility relative to “reasonable duty of care” as deadwood can become a hazard for people and property, particularly in storms.

All deadwood pruning and dead tree removal service are undertaken in compliance with the Australian Standard (AS4373-2007) for the pruning of amenity trees. No council approval is needed for deadwood removal in Sydney.
