As an professional arborist service in Galway, deadwood removal is an important aspect of our job. Deadwood is any part of a tree that has died and can include branches, twigs, and even parts of the trunk. Removing deadwood is necessary for a number of reasons, including preventing the spread of disease and improving the tree’s overall health and appearance.
To begin the deadwood removal process, we start by examining the tree and identifying any deadwood. We then use specialised tools such as pruning shears, hand saws, or chainsaws to carefully remove the deadwood. The tools used depend on the size and location of the deadwood.
When removing deadwood, we always prioritise safety. We wear protective gear such as gloves, eye and ear protection, and a hard hat to protect ourselves from any potential hazards. We also take care to avoid damaging any living parts of the tree, such as the bark or healthy branches.
Once the deadwood has been removed, we clean up any debris that has fallen on the ground and dispose of or recycle it properly. We also inspect the tree for any signs of disease or pests that may have contributed to the deadwood, and make recommendations on how to address these issues.
