What we do

Tree surgery first. Landscaping to finish.

Trees are the core of our work. Around them we clear, cut, chip and landscape, so one team can look after the whole job from the first cut to the final tidy-up.

01Tree surgery

Tree surgery, pruning & crown reduction

Most trees do not need to come down. Careful pruning, crown reduction and the removal of deadwood can make a tree safer, let more light into the garden and take weight off branches that overhang roofs, roads or neighbours.

We climb and work from within the tree, making clean cuts in the right places so it stays healthy and keeps a natural shape rather than being hacked back.

02Tree removal

Tree removal & felling

When a tree is dead, unsafe or simply in the wrong place, we take it down in a controlled way. Where there is open ground it can be felled whole; beside houses, sheds, walls and wires it is dismantled from the top in manageable sections.

You get the tree out without damage to your property, and the timber and brash are dealt with as agreed, chipped, stacked as logs or taken away.

03Hedges

Hedge cutting, reduction & removal

Conifer, laurel and beech hedges can get away from you quickly. We trim and shape them, bring overgrown hedges back down in height and width, and remove hedges entirely where you want the space back.

Tall hedges near overhead lines or over driveways are work most people should not tackle from a ladder. You get light and space back, a clean finish, and every cutting cleared away.

04Clearance

Garden & site clearance, chipping & green waste

Neglected gardens, overgrown plots and building sites cleared of scrub, brambles, small trees and old hedging. Branches and brash are put through our wood chipper on site, so there is far less to take away.

Instead of weekends of work and trips to the recycling centre, the ground is cleared in one go and green waste is removed, leaving it ready to use, landscape or build on.

Emergency & storm damage

A tree down or dangerous? Call us.

Storm-damaged timber is under tension and can move without warning. Keep people clear, then ring us, day or night: you can call 24/7 about an emergency. We will tell you honestly how quickly we can get to you, make the tree safe first and then clear it.

Equipment & methods

The right kit for difficult trees

Trees beside houses, sheds, walls and wires need more than a chainsaw. These are the methods you will see in our own job photos.

  1. Climbing & rigging

    Climbers work from within the tree on ropes and harnesses, lowering sections under control where there is no room to drop them.

  2. Access platform, when needed

    Where climbing is not the best option for a tree, an access platform can be arranged to take the limbs down.

  3. Crane lifts, when needed

    When a fallen tree is resting on a building, a crane can be arranged to lift it clear instead of cutting it where it lies.

  4. Chipping on site

    Branches and brash go through a wood chipper on the day, so there is far less to take away.

  5. Ladders & ground sheets

    Tall hedges are cut from stable tripod ladders, with sheets laid down so cuttings are gathered, not raked out of lawns.

    Patrick KellyBoyle
  • Very happy with the work carried out. We had a few branches hanging over the roof that needed attention. Everything was handled carefully and the lads were very pleasant.

    Tomas Petrauskas
  • Brilliant difference to the garden. All the bushes were cut back, weeds cleared and everything tidied up. Delighted with the result.

    Andrei PopescuRoscommon
  • Good bunch of lads. Turned up when arranged and got stuck into the work straight away. Tree was down and everything cleared away without any bother.

    Michael O'Connor
  • Our hedges had got far too high and were blocking the light into the garden. Great job bringing them back down. Very neat finish.

    Ewa NowakBoyle
  • Had a serious amount of branches to get rid of after tree work. The chipper made short work of it. Very efficient and saved me a lot of hassle.

    Darius Jankauskas
  • Couldn't be happier with the work. The garden was in a bit of a state and needed a proper clean-up. Looks lovely now.
