Deadwooding in Northampton: Safer Trees Above Your Garden
Northampton Tree Surgeons arranges deadwooding across Northampton and the surrounding towns and villages, carried out by NPTC-qualified, fully insured tree surgery teams.
Deadwood is any branch that has died. It is brittle, can drop without warning, and is a real hazard over a patio, a play area, a car or a footpath. Deadwooding removes it from the canopy while leaving the live tree alone.
All mature trees produce some deadwood as they age, so it is not always a sign of a problem. It is, however, one of the most common causes of damage and injury from trees, which is why we recommend regular inspections for trees near buildings and public spaces. Older trees in Northampton's parks and large gardens, particularly oak and ash, regularly carry dead branches that are worth taking out before the autumn gales.
A Careful, Targeted Job
We climb the tree, work through the canopy and remove dead branches above a sensible size. Where it is safe to do so, we can leave some dead wood in place or relocate it, because it is valuable habitat for insects, birds and bats.
If we see signs of a bigger problem, such as fungal fruiting bodies, decay or cracks, we will tell you and recommend a proper inspection.

Deadwooding: Common Questions
How do I know if a tree has deadwood?
Look for bare branches without leaves in summer, bark peeling away, or twigs that snap easily. If in doubt, we can take a look and tell you.
Is deadwood always a problem?
No, but it can fall. Over a house, road or play area, we recommend removing it.
Can you do this on a protected tree?
Removing dead branches from a TPO tree is generally exempt from needing consent, but you should give the council five working days' notice first, and we can do that for you.
