Most of your tree is green, but a few branches are gray and bare. Twigs and sticks keep landing on the lawn and the roof. You like the tree and want to keep it. Toms Tree Services removes deadwood from trees in Marquette so the tree can stay and the falling wood stops.

When Do You Need Deadwood Removal?

Deadwood is easy to spot in summer. Look for branches with no leaves, bark that peels off, and wood that looks gray or cracked. In winter, dead branches often look darker and have no buds.

Dead branches are brittle. Lake-effect snow and ice load them all winter, and Lake Superior wind storms snap them off. Big ones can damage roofs, cars and decks, or hurt someone walking below.

Common causes include shade from nearby trees on dense wooded lots, old storm damage, insects, and root stress. Some deadwood is normal as a tree grows. But when dead limbs hang over places people use, it is time to take them out.

Removing deadwood also lets you see the tree better. If we spot signs of a bigger problem while we work, we will tell you in plain words.

We remove deadwood for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and around Marquette County. Doing it before the snow flies is a smart time, since a lot of tree work in the U.P. happens in fall and early winter.

How the Job Works, Step by Step

It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address. Lucas will call you back to set a time to look at the tree.

Then we come out and look at the job. We look at the whole crown and find the dead branches. Then we climb or use a lift, cut each dead limb back to live wood, and lower big pieces by rope. Healthy branches are left alone.

After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure to say yes. If you want to go ahead, we set up the work with you. When we finish, we clean up the branches.

How Much Does Deadwood Removal Cost?

The price depends on how big the tree is, how much deadwood there is, and how high it sits. Branches over a roof or wires take more care. Access to the tree, distance, the gear needed, and cleanup also matter. The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee.

When we give you the estimate, we go over what it covers, such as hauling the branches away or chipping them. That way you can pick what fits your needs and budget.
