A dead limb only gets weaker. As the wood dries, it cracks from the inside, and one day an ordinary wind drops it on whatever sits below.
We take out the branch you called about and check the rest of the crown for more. Each piece is tied off and lowered, so your roof, deck and plants stay in one piece.
Signs a branch is dead
- No leaves on it in June or July while the rest of the tree is green
- Bark peeling or falling off in sheets
- Grey, dry wood with no green under a light scratch
- Mushrooms or soft, crumbly spots on the limb
- A branch that snaps with a crack instead of bending
How we remove dead wood
- Check the whole crown and point out every dead limb worth removing
- Climb or use a bucket truck, depending on how sound the tree is
- Tie off each piece and lower it to the ground
- Cut back to live wood so the tree can seal the wound
What it costs
Deadwood jobs cost about what trimming does. Picture $300 to $800 on a modest tree and $800 to $1,500+ on a tall, spreading one, then check the quote we leave with you for the exact figure.

Emerald ash borer wiped out most East Credit ash. A dead ash gets brittle within a year or two, and its limbs can drop on a calm day. We check how sound the wood is before anyone climbs and use a bucket truck when it isn't safe to tie in.
Questions about dead branches
Is one dead branch a sign the whole tree is dying?
Not always. A single dead limb can come from an old injury on a healthy tree. We check the trunk, the root flare and the rest of the crown before we say either way.
Can I leave a dead branch until it falls?
It is safer and cheaper to take it down on purpose. A limb that falls on its own can damage a roof or a car, and cleanup after a fall costs more.
Do I need a permit to remove dead branches?
No. Removing branches is pruning, which needs no permit in Mississauga.
Will you remove small dead twigs too?
We take out dead wood about the size of your wrist and larger. Fine twigs inside the crown are normal and do no harm.
