Care for the tree, and for what is around it
Trees add a great deal to a home or property, but they grow, age and get damaged by weather. Tree surgery covers the work that keeps them in good order: reducing and thinning crowns, taking out dead or dangerous wood, and, when there is no better option, removing a tree completely.
Every job starts with the tree itself: its condition, what it is close to and what you want from it. We will give you an honest view, including when a tree is best left alone, and a clear quotation before any work begins.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does a tree surgeon actually do?
A tree surgeon looks after trees: pruning, reducing and thinning crowns, removing dead or dangerous wood, dealing with storm damage and, where necessary, taking trees down safely. Much of the work is done by climbing into the tree.
Will you tell me if a tree does not need any work?
Yes. Not every tree needs work, and sometimes a light prune is all that is required instead of removal. We will give you an honest view of what the tree needs.
How much does tree surgery cost?
It depends on the tree: its size, condition, what it is close to and how easy it is to reach. Quotations are free, so the quickest way to find out is to send us a few photos of the tree or ask us to come and look.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in Athlone, Co. Westmeath, and carry out tree surgery across Westmeath, Roscommon, Longford, Offaly and Galway, including towns such as Mullingar, Moate, Roscommon Town, Boyle, Longford Town, Tullamore, Birr, Ballinasloe and Galway City. If your town is not listed, ask us: we may still be able to help.
Do I need permission for tree work?
It depends on the tree and where it is. Some trees are protected, for example by a Tree Preservation Order or planning condition, or because the property is in an Architectural Conservation Area. If you are unsure, check with your county council before work is booked. We cannot give legal or planning advice.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Yes. Branches can be chipped on site, timber cut into logs and stacked, or everything taken away, as agreed in the quotation. The site is left clean and tidy.
