Tree Surgery FAQs

For most garden trees, no. Consent from Clare County Council may be needed where a tree has a Tree Preservation Order, stands in an Architectural Conservation Area or is in the grounds of a protected structure, and some rural felling needs a licence. We’ll point out anything to check when we visit.

Yes. Phone us for anything urgent — a fallen tree, a split trunk or a limb resting on a roof, car or road. We make it safe first, then clear it away.

We are. We’re fully certified and insured, and our NPTC-certified arborists work beside buildings, roads and overhead lines every week. Certificates are available on request.

Every job is priced individually, based on the tree’s size, the access, what’s around it and whether the stump is ground out. The site visit costs nothing, and you’ll have a written quotation before you decide.

Of course. We can cut the timber into logs and stack it for you, or take everything away. Branches are chipped on site either way.

Yes. We grind stumps out below ground level so you can lay turf or topsoil straight over, either on the day of the removal or as a separate visit. The grinder fits through most garden gates.

To protect nesting birds, the Wildlife Act restricts hedgerow cutting from 1 March to 31 August, apart from a few exemptions such as road safety. Light trimming of a garden hedge may still be fine — ask us and we’ll advise.

Reduction shrinks the whole crown, which suits a tree that’s too big for its space. Thinning removes a share of the smaller branches throughout so light and wind pass through, while the tree stays the same size. We’ll suggest the right approach on site.

Yes. Our arborists hold NPTC and City & Guilds certificates, and the team are professional members of the Arboricultural Association.

We answer every enquiry within one working day and book the site visit for a time that suits you. For a dangerous tree, please phone rather than using the form.

We do. Besides homeowners, we work for businesses, schools, farms, management companies and public bodies, and we can supply method statements, risk assessments and insurance documents.
