Dead and dying branches are the primary source of storm-related tree damage in Sarasota County, and removing them before peak hurricane season is one of the smartest steps you can take.
Dead wood does not flex the way live wood does under wind loading. It snaps and becomes a projectile, damaging roofs, fences, vehicles, and nearby structures at speeds ground-level assessment can underestimate. In mature live oaks, pine canopies, and even palms, dead wood accumulates unseen without a trained eye scanning the full canopy.
This is more than cutting out dead branches. A professional assessment ranks deadwood by size, attachment angle, and proximity to structures. It also distinguishes natural branch shedding from stress-related dieback and disease or pest damage, which call for different responses.
