Dead branches stick out like a sore thumb this time of the year. Trees are no longer dormant, and it's easy to see among the leaves which branches need to be removed. While it's tempting to save a few bucks and do the job yourself, large tree limb removal is often a very dangerous job and should be left to professionals with removal experience and the correct equipment.

When a large branch dies, ignoring it is a huge and potentially expensive mistake to make. Most people don't realize how much even a small to medium-sized branch can weigh. Dead limbs have the potential to cause extensive damage when they fall, especially if they land on a car or roof. If a branch comes down when a person is nearby, death or serious injury may occur.

Because of the danger involved, the job of removing a dead or damaged branch is one best left to professionals at Cartwright Tree Care. For more information on taking care of your trees in Kansas City, please contact us today.
