Dangerous Tree Removal

Making Dangerous Trees Safe

A tree doesn't have to fall to be dangerous. Deep cracks, a sudden lean, dead or hanging limbs, fungus at the base and lifting roots are all signs that a tree may no longer be structurally sound — and in an Atlantic-facing county like Galway, winter storms put weakened trees under real strain.

Our arborists start with an assessment of the tree's condition and what it could hit if it failed. Sometimes removing a few limbs or reducing the crown is enough to make it safe; sometimes the right answer is removal. Either way, we'll explain what we've found and why we're recommending it.

For trees that pose an immediate risk to people, property or a road, we prioritise the job and can usually respond quickly with industry leading equipment and experienced crews.

 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

Dangerous Tree Removal FAQs

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

Ask a Question

Common warning signs include a new or worsening lean, deep cracks or splits in the trunk, dead or hanging branches, mushrooms or fungus around the base, cavities, and soil heaving or roots lifting on one side. If you notice any of these, have the tree assessed.

Yes. Ash dieback is widespread in Ireland and affected trees can become brittle. We assess ash trees and remove or reduce them where they pose a risk, especially near houses, roads and paths.

For trees posing an immediate danger we prioritise the call and aim to respond as fast as possible. For non-urgent assessments we’ll arrange a site visit at a time that suits you.
