Identifying Dead Wood: A Safety Issue Every Homeowner Should Know

Post Copy

Dead branches aren't just an eyesore, they're a safety hazard. A branch that looks brown or bare could break suddenly in wind or under its own weight, especially if you have children playing below or a driveway underneath. The tricky part: sometimes dead wood isn't obvious from the ground.

Here's how to spot it: look for branches with no leaves or buds, bark that's peeling away, or limbs that snap easily when bent. If you find dead wood, it needs professional removal. Trying to remove large dead branches yourself is dangerous, especially if they're high up or near structures.
