Do you remove the stump after felling?

Stump removal can be arranged separately using a grinder or excavation depending on location and access.

Can work be done near overhead power lines?

Work near overhead lines requires appropriate safety planning and coordination with the relevant network operator. The site and scope should be assessed before work proceeds.

What happens to the timber and branches?

Timber, branches and clearance requirements can be discussed as part of the scope before work starts.

Is winter a suitable time for tree work?

Dormant season work is often preferred for deciduous trees, though storm damage clearance happens year-round when safety requires it.

Tree Services Across Connacht

Tree work in the west of Ireland can be affected by strong winds, persistent damp, exposed sites and local ground conditions. Property owners may need help when branches overhang buildings or access routes, when trees have been damaged by storms, or when trees and hedges have become difficult to manage.

Services can include pruning, crown work, felling and removal, stump work, hedge maintenance and clearance. The appropriate approach depends on the tree, its condition, surrounding structures, access and the space available on the property.

Residential gardens, farms and commercial sites can each present different access and clearance requirements. The scope is assessed according to the property and the work requested rather than assuming one method for every site.

What Affects Scope and Cost

Tree size, condition, location, surrounding structures, access and the amount of material to be handled can all affect the scope of the work.

Technician insight

Exposed sites, wet ground and surrounding buildings or boundaries can all affect how tree work is planned.
