Deadwood Removal

Deadwood removal is a critical service that protects your trees, property, and loved ones from potential harm. At Godfrey Tree Service, we offer expert deadwood removal for homeowners and commercial properties throughout Statesville and Iredell County. With over five decades of experience, we understand how to detect and remove dead or decaying limbs before they become dangerous.

Deadwood refers to branches or parts of a tree that are no longer living. These limbs are often brittle, dry, and prone to breaking off during wind, rain, or even under their own weight. Not only are they hazardous, but they can also become an entry point for disease, pests, and rot—affecting the health of the entire tree.

Our team is trained to identify deadwood and remove it safely, without compromising the rest of the tree. We use climbing equipment and bucket trucks to access high or difficult areas, and we always clean up the site when we’re done. Our services improve safety, enhance tree appearance, and encourage new, healthy growth.

Deadwood removal is essential for mature trees, especially those near structures, driveways, play areas, or power lines. A falling branch may seem harmless, but in reality, it can cause serious injury or property damage if left unchecked.

Why Remove Deadwood?

• Prevents falling branches during storms or wind
• Improves tree health and lifespan
• Reduces the risk of disease and pest infestation
• Protects homes, buildings, and vehicles
• Restores a clean, attractive tree appearance

We recommend regular inspections of your trees—especially after severe weather or if you notice dead patches or bare limbs. Our team can perform seasonal deadwood pruning and advise you on any additional care your trees may need.
