Don't Wait for Dead Branches to Fall
Dead knots and dying branches are more than ugly — they're dangerous. A heavy dead limb can drop without warning, damaging your roof, car, fence, or worse. Edmonton's harsh winters, wind storms, and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate the problem every season.
Dead wood also invites pests and disease into otherwise healthy trees. Removing dead knots early is one of the smartest investments you can make in your property. AJS Slashing specializes in identifying and safely removing dead wood before it becomes an expensive problem.

We prioritize by risk level — branches over structures, walkways, and driveways get addressed first. You get a clear plan and upfront pricing.
Safe Removal
Dead knots and damaged branches are carefully cut at the proper location to promote healing and prevent bark tearing. No damage to healthy wood.
