With dead branch removal, the cause differs but the outcome does not. Trees on the sand west of the road exhaust their water and let go of the topmost wood, since that is the dearest to keep supplied.
On the east side the shortage has a different origin. Thin soil on a grade sheds rain downhill before roots can take it up. In both cases the dead material ends up at the top of the tree, where nobody standing on a lawn will spot it.
That July storm drove broken wood into canopies right across the village and much of it never came down. Wood that has snapped free and wedged itself among branches is known as a hanger, and no other category of dead branch removal is more urgent.
Spotting a hanger from ground level is hard, and harder still with leaves on the tree, which is why dead branch removal is often overdue. Where your trees were badly knocked about, having someone look up into them is worthwhile.
Few trees make dead branch removal as demanding as a dead ash does. The timber goes brittle, limbs drop without any warning at all, and the risks involved suit people who have taken a few apart already.
Healthy ash has been unusual in this county since emerald ash borer turned up around 2010. No one ever went round counting the trees in fence rows and back yards, so dead ash still stands in numbers here. Yours can have its dead wood stripped out, or it can come down entirely.
Urgency in dead branch removal varies, and telling you which pieces are pressing beats charging for haste that nobody requires.
These go to the front of the list:
- Wood already snapped and suspended, jammed in the branches or hanging from a shred of bark - Dead material above the drive, the front door, a path or where cars are left - Dead material over the public road or the walking trail - Dead wood near enough to make contact with a hydro line
Where the ground below is nothing more than grass, the same wood will keep until a scheduled appointment.
Four signs of a dead branch are visible from the ground and need nothing but your eyes. One of them is enough to justify a call:
- A limb with no foliage in midsummer while its neighbours are fully green - Sheets of bark parting from dry grey timber underneath - Bracket fungus growing on a branch, or circling the foot of the trunk - Pale worked areas on the bark of an ash, made by woodpeckers chasing larvae
When it cannot be judged from below, we will come and check without charging.
Nothing is cut until the whole canopy has been assessed for dead branch removal. It is rare for dead wood to be limited to a single limb, and dealing with the lot in one appointment beats paying for two journeys.
Down the grade, rope is used on every piece regardless of what lies below, because a dropped section will travel. Everything cut is then chipped, loaded, and the ground raked over.
Leaving broken wood hanging above your property is not worth the risk. Dead branch removal runs through Mount Pleasant, Burtch, Tutela Heights and Newport, and quoting it is free.

Tree trimming aside, two or three of these usually apply to the same tree. Here is the remainder of the list.
What governs tree trimming and pruning here is how much canopy a tree carries after tree trimming and pruning is done, not what shape that canopy takes. Insurance covers all of it, and we prune and trim in Mount Pleasant, Burtch, Pleasant Ridge and the country below Brantford.

What remains after a tree removal is the base, and stump grinding and removal is how that goes. Pricing it apart from the felling means the decision is never forced on you. The work is insured and reaches Mount Pleasant and the country below Brantford.
View Stump Grinding and RemovalTell us what is wrong and where you are. Someone attends before any figure is quoted, and the written quote afterwards covers method, debris handling and exclusions.
Knowing the species and roughly how tall it stands helps, but we can work without either. What we cannot work without is the road, since getting to the tree and the grade it sits on move the price further than size ever will. Note the ground below the canopy. Anything storm related should be flagged. The rest is optional besides a way of reaching you. If a phone call is easier, the number is (226) 546-3846.
