When a Tree Starts to Worry You

Plenty of dangerous trees are still standing. A lean that wasn't there before, a crack in the trunk, dead limbs in the crown, fungus at the base or the ground heaving on one side can all mean a tree is no longer sound — and Clare's exposure to Atlantic gales tests weak trees hard.

We start with a careful inspection: how healthy the tree is, and what it would land on if it failed. Sometimes removing a few limbs or reducing the crown is enough; sometimes the tree has to come down. Either way, we'll show you what we've found and explain the options.

Ash dieback has weakened many ash trees along Clare's roads, lanes and field boundaries, leaving them brittle and unpredictable. We assess affected trees and reduce or fell them before they become a hazard.

What’s included

  • Tree condition and risk assessment
  • Removal of dead, diseased or dying trees

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.

Dangerous Tree Removal FAQs

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

Ask a Question

Look for a lean that’s new or increasing, deep cracks in the trunk, dead or broken branches hanging in the crown, mushrooms or bracket fungus near the base, hollows, and soil lifting on one side. If you notice any of these, get the tree checked.

Yes. Ash dieback is common across Ireland and makes infected trees brittle. We inspect ash trees and reduce or remove them where they’re a risk, especially near homes, roads and footpaths.

If a tree is an immediate danger, we treat it as a priority and get there as fast as we can. Less urgent inspections are booked at a time that suits you.
