Our Story

Tree Specialists, Part of the Elm Family

Elm Tree Surgery Galway is the dedicated tree care team of Elm Landscaping & Tree Surgery Services, a family-run business that has been working across the West of Ireland since 2008.

Over the years tree surgery grew into one of the biggest parts of what Elm does, so we gave it its own team and its own name. That means Galway homeowners and businesses get specialist arborists who do nothing but tree work — backed by the equipment, insurance and experience of an established company.

Our crews are NPTC and City & Guilds certified, and Elm is a professional member of the Arboricultural Association. We work with industry leading equipment and experienced crews, and we finish every job with a full clean-up.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had multiple large trees removed due to Ash Dieback. Some were very hard to access and the Elm team had all the correct equipment to do the job safely. Very good crew of lads.

 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.
