Dead Tree Removal

Most trees remain strong and mighty with very little maintenance - so strong that they would live for decades or even centuries. In fact, some tree species can live even thousands of years. As much as they are very tough and can withstand different weather conditions, some trees die of old age while others can also get sick. In this case, you may have to call for dead tree removal service.

Removing dead trees is almost the same process as the usual tree removal or tree cutting method; however, it can get a little more complex since the tree’s structure has become very weak. It is important to ensure that the process is done carefully as it may cause accidents, injury, and damage to property. For these reasons, it is highly recommended for you to call for expert help from a licensed tree contractor. 

What are the toughest trees to remove in Deltona? Dead trees are definitely some of them, but we are always ready to assist. At Duval and Son services, our team is trained and equipped to carry out all kinds of tree maintenance procedures including dead tree removal. When you need help from tree professionals in Deltona, we are the company to call!

How to Tell if a Tree is Dead

Strong winds can make trees shed leaves. Scorching heat may cause discoloration of the tree. However, these conditions do not automatically mean that a tree is dead. The first and foremost test to check whether a tree is still alive is through visual inspection. Even a tree that has shed all its leaves may still be alive so watch out for leaf buds and if the branches still appear to be healthy. You may also do a branch test by snapping off one of the tree’s branches. If it breaks easily and if it feels light and dry, this may mean that the tree is already dead.

Scratching the bark of the tree is another proven method to determine if a dead tree removal process is needed. Using a small knife or even just the tip of your finger, scratch off a part of the tree’s bark to reveal the tissue underneath. If it looks green, then the tree is still alive. Note that this must be done on the tree’s bark and not on a single branch. Some branches may already be dead even while a tree remains alive and healthy.

When in doubt, seek advice from an expert tree contractor. At Duval and Son Services, we can help determine if a dead tree removal process is necessary. If a tree can still be saved, we can provide our recommendations on how it can be nursed back to life. If a tree is sick, unhealthy, and weak, it can become a hazard tree, which is also very dangerous to keep in your property. So when you suspect a tree on your property to be dead or unhealthy, give us a call so we can help inspect it for you.
