Tree Felling & Removal

Expert Tree Felling in Galway

Taking down a tree is rarely as simple as cutting at the base. Most of the trees we remove in Galway are close to something that matters — a house, a boundary wall, a road, a shed or overhead cables — so every job starts with a proper plan for how the tree will come down safely.

Where there is room, a tree can be felled in one piece. Where there isn't, our NPTC-certified arborists dismantle it in sections, lowering limbs and stem pieces under control using rigging, spider lifts and cherry pickers. Nothing is left to chance and nothing lands where it shouldn't.

Once the tree is down, we chip the brash on site, take the timber away (or cut it into logs for you if you'd like to keep it), and leave the area clean. Stump grinding can be done on the same visit.

 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 Felling & Removal FAQs

Common questions about tree felling & removal in Galway. Can’t see your question? Just ask.

Ask a Question

Yes. Trees close to houses are taken down in sections and lowered under control rather than felled in one go. We assess access, the condition of the tree and what’s underneath before we quote, so the method is planned before the day.

Most garden trees can be removed without permission, but trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order or in a conservation area may need council approval, and some trees in rural areas may need a felling licence. We’ll advise you during the site visit.

Of course. We can cut the timber into logs and stack it for you, or take everything away — just tell us what you’d prefer when we quote.

Most domestic removals are completed in a single day, including clean-up. Larger or more complex jobs may take longer, and we’ll tell you exactly what to expect in your quote.
