Our Simple Tree Surgery Process

No surprises — here’s exactly what happens from your first call to the final sweep-up.

Tell Us About the Tree

Call or send the form with a few details, and a photo if you have one. Let us know straight away if it’s urgent.

Free Site Visit

A certified arborist calls out to look at the tree, the access and anything nearby, and plans the safest way to do the work.

You get an itemised quotation with no hidden extras and no obligation to go ahead.

The Work, Done Safely

Tree Felling

Tree Felling & Removal

Some trees simply have to come down — because they’re dead, dangerous or in the wrong place. Where there’s room we fell them in one piece; where there isn’t, we take them down section by section, lowering every piece under control around homes, roads and cables.

More About Tree Felling

Crown Care

Crown Reduction & Pruning

Most trees don’t need to come down — they need the right cut. Crown reduction, thinning and lifting let in light, take weight off heavy limbs and keep a tree healthy, without the damage that “topping” causes.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

FAQ

Tree Surgery FAQs

Straight answers to the questions Limerick homeowners ask us most. Can’t see yours? Just ask.

See All FAQs

All of Limerick City and County, including Castletroy, Adare, Newcastle West, Kilmallock and Abbeyfeale. Tell us where the tree is and we’ll confirm when we can call out.

Usually not for an ordinary garden tree. Trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order, in an Architectural Conservation Area or on the grounds of a protected structure may need consent from Limerick City and County Council, and some felling outside urban areas needs a licence. We’ll flag anything that needs checking at the site visit.

Yes. Phone us for anything urgent — a fallen tree, a split limb, or a tree leaning onto a house or road. Our first job is to make it safe; the clean-up follows.

Yes. We’re fully certified and insured, and our NPTC-certified arborists regularly work close to buildings, roads and overhead cables. Insurance certificates are available on request.

It depends on the size of the tree, how easy it is to reach, what’s underneath it and whether you want the stump ground out. The site visit is free, and you’ll get a clear written quotation before anything is agreed.

Branches are chipped on site and the timber is taken away — or cut into logs and stacked for you if you’d like to keep it for the fire. Either way, the site is left clean.
