Dead limbs in a mature oak are easy to miss in summer, when a full canopy hides them. As leaves thin out across North Atlanta this fall, those bare, gray branches with peeling bark start to stand out, and they're the pieces most likely to come down during a winter windstorm or ice event.
Deadwooding is a targeted pruning service that removes dead, dying, and broken limbs from the crown without cutting into healthy growth. Our climbers work through the canopy and make clean cuts at the branch collar so the tree can seal the wounds naturally. Taking out that dead weight lowers the risk to roofs, cars, and people below, and it removes entry points for decay and insects.
It's also one of the more affordable ways to make a big tree safer without changing how it looks from the street. Many homeowners pair deadwooding with a light clearance trim over the roofline so everything is handled in one visit.
Have you spotted any bare, dead branches in your oaks as the leaves start to thin this fall?
