Taking Trees Down Without the Drama

Cutting through a trunk is the easy bit. What takes skill is controlling where everything lands — and most of the trees we remove stand close to a house, a boundary wall, a yard, a road or a set of wires.

Where there's clear ground, we fell the tree in one go. Where there isn't, NPTC-certified arborists climb or use a platform to dismantle it from the top down, lowering every limb and section on ropes so nothing falls where it shouldn't.

Brash is chipped on site and the timber either taken away or cut into logs and stacked for you. If you want the stump gone too, we can grind it out the same day.

We had multiple large trees removed due to Ash Dieback. Some were very hard to access and the Elm team had all the correct equipment to do the job safely. Very good crew of lads.

I am really pleased with your team, the service provided, and the great communication. Cutting the trees made a huge difference in the landscape around the house. I would like to thank you for the work done yesterday and for the team's professionalism. They have left everything so clean that no one could notice that 4 trees were cut. Definitely, I will be in touch with Elm Landscaping and tree surgery services if I need more work done in the future.

Tree Felling & Removal FAQs

Questions people in Clare often ask about tree felling. Don’t see yours? Get in touch.

Ask a Question

Yes. Instead of felling it whole, we take it apart in sections and lower each piece under control. We assess the access, the tree and what’s beneath it before quoting, so the method is agreed in advance.

Usually not for a garden tree. A tree with a Tree Preservation Order, in an Architectural Conservation Area or in the grounds of a protected structure may need consent from Clare County Council, and some felling in rural areas needs a licence. We’ll flag anything that needs checking.

If you’d like them, yes — we’ll cut the timber to stove length and stack it. Otherwise we take it all away. Just let us know when we quote.

A typical garden removal is done in a day, including the clean-up. Bigger or more complicated jobs can take longer, and your quotation will set out what to expect.
