By the time a dead branch actually comes down, the tree stopped feeding it seasons earlier. The wood dries out slowly, turns brittle, and eventually lets go on its own, often without any warning at all.
Getting to it first, before that happens, costs less than dealing with whatever it lands on: a car, a roof, or someone walking underneath at the wrong moment.
Dead ash is everywhere in Sarnia now because of the emerald ash borer, and it behaves differently from other dead wood once it goes. The branches turn brittle fast and let go unpredictably, which puts this squarely in the category of work an experienced crew should handle rather than a homeowner on a ladder.
We can strip the dead branches off an ash and leave the live parts standing, or bring the entire tree down if tree removal makes more sense. We will tell you plainly which one fits your tree.
Not all dead branches carry the same urgency. What is underneath the branch decides that, more than the branch itself. These jump the queue:
- A branch already broken but still hanging by a strip of bark or caught in the crown above - Anything dead positioned over a driveway, doorway, walkway or parked vehicle - Dead wood reaching out over a sidewalk or public road - A branch already resting on, or near enough to reach, a power line
A dead branch out over open lawn, with nothing valuable underneath, can generally wait for a routine visit instead of being pushed to the front of the line.
A handful of things are worth checking from the ground before you even pick up the phone:
- Leafless in the middle of July even though the rest of the crown is green - Bark peeling away to reveal grey, dried-out wood underneath - Fungus growing directly on the branch, or shelf fungus at the base of the trunk - Light patches on ash bark left by woodpeckers digging out beetle larvae underneath
If none of that is clear-cut, we will take a look at no cost either way.

View Stump Grinding and RemovalTell us what is going on with the tree and roughly which part of Sarnia you are in. We will come out, then follow up with a written quote covering the method, where the wood goes, and anything left out of the price.
It helps to know what kind of tree it is and about how tall it stands, and your street matters too, since getting equipment in changes the price more than the tree's size does. Tell us what the tree hangs over, and flag the request as urgent if a storm is the reason you are calling. Everything except a way to reach you back is optional. Call us directly at (226) 602-0621 if you would rather talk it through.
