Johns Creek, GA – In the mature, tree-lined neighborhoods of Johns Creek, many homeowners assume their trees are safe because they appear green and vibrant. However, professional arborists warn of a "silent threat" known as deadwood - brittle, non-living branches tucked inside a seemingly healthy canopy.
Trees Plus LTD is launching a safety initiative to educate residents on the importance of a professional tree cutting service, specifically to remove these internal hazards, which are often the first to fall during high winds and thunderstorms.
"Deadwood is a ticking time bomb for property owners," says Nick Sanchez, Owner of Trees Plus LTD. "A branch can be completely dead and ready to fall, even if the rest of the tree looks perfect. In Johns Creek, where children often play under these large canopies, identifying and removing that dead wood is the most important maintenance step you can take."
Identifying the Danger of Internal Decay
Deadwood occurs naturally as a tree grows and sheds lower or shaded limbs that are no longer productive. Over time, these branches lose their flexibility and structural integrity, becoming prone to "sudden branch drop." Unlike healthy wood that bends under the weight of rain or wind, deadwood snaps cleanly.
A comprehensive tree cutting service involves an arborist climbing into the canopy to identify these brittle sections - characterized by peeling bark and a lack of buds - and removing them safely before they become dangerous projectiles.
"We often find large dead limbs hanging directly over play sets, decks, and driveways," explains Sanchez. "Our goal is to clean out the interior of the tree, which not only makes the area safer for families but also reduces the wind resistance of the tree, helping it survive Georgia's storm season."
Advanced Technical Rigging for Residential Safety
To manage these fragile branches in confined residential spaces, the company utilizes specialized technical rigging systems. These systems allow arborists to secure and lower dead limbs slowly using ropes and pulleys, rather than letting them fall freely to the ground.
This controlled descent is critical when working above delicate features such as glass-topped patio tables, expensive outdoor lighting, or manicured flower beds.
Proactive Maintenance for Long-Term Health
Removing dead wood also prevents decay from spreading into the tree's main trunk. By sealing off these entry points, the arborist prevents wood-boring insects and fungi from establishing a foothold that could eventually require the tree's total removal.
"Clean trees are healthy trees," adds Sanchez. "A regular tree cutting service keeps your landscape thriving and your family protected."
