We deliver expert tree pruning and risk management services, combining extensive experience with advanced techniques. Our climbers excel in technical rigging, tree strength assessment and navigating tight or hazardous spaces.

Hazard Management

Not all compromised trees require removal. Using the ISA TRAQ risk matrix, we assess tree risks in context and provide tailored solutions, including:

  • Hazardous Tree Removal: Safe removal of damaged trees.

  • Cabling and Bracing: Stabilising weak or bifurcated trees for long-term safety.

 

Technical Rigging and Aerial Solutions

For challenging or inaccessible sites, we employ advanced rigging and aerial assistance, such as hoists, cranes, and helicopters. These methods are ideal for:

  • Dangerous or diseased trees.

  • Inaccessible gardens or properties.

  • Tree thinning in forested or complex terrains.

 

Different Work Environments

  • Around Electrical Wires.

  • On Roadsides.

  • Night-time Operations.

 

Specialised Services

  • Lightning Protection Systems

  • Custom Solutions: From bracing and hazard limb reduction to storm damage mitigation, we focus on tree health and safety.

Specialist Tree Work & Risk Mitigation 

1. Powerlines – UA1 Certified for Utility Arboricultural Work

 

Working near overhead powerlines demands specialist training, equipment, and precise techniques. Our UA1-certified team is authorised to carry out tree works around live utilities, using insulated tools and industry-approved methods to ensure safety at all times. We mitigate risks effectively while maintaining vegetation clearance standards, supporting both private clients and utility providers across Munster.

2. Hazardous Trees – Large & Dangerous Tree Specialists
 

Our climbers trained on some of the world’s most challenging trees in New Zealand, Tasmania, and California, bringing international expertise to the safe dismantling of large or hazardous specimens. We specialise in removing trees compromised by decay, storm damage, poor anchorage, or structural failure. Using the ISA TRAQ risk matrix, we also assess whether removal is necessary—offering stabilisation options like cabling and bracing when appropriate.

3. Trees in Tight-Confined Spaces - Lantra Certified Technical Rigging Experts


For trees in restricted locations—such as over greenhouses, walls, or within courtyards—we use advanced rigging systems to dismantle them safely, one section at a time. Our climbers are highly skilled in rope-based rigging, working with pulleys and friction devices to lower limbs without damaging surrounding structures. Technical rigging is also used to perform storm-damage mitigation and targeted canopy reductions in complex settings.

4. MEWP, Crane, and Helicopter Work – IPAF Certified Team


When tree access is unsafe or restricted, we deploy MEWPs (mobile elevated work platforms), cranes, and even helicopters to perform precision pruning and removals. Our IPAF-certified operatives work closely with lifting crews and traffic management specialists to ensure efficient, coordinated operations. Each aerial project is carefully planned, factoring in terrain, visibility, and public safety to minimise disruption and ground impact.

5. Tree Work on Roadsides – SLG Certified Team

 

Roadside environments require strict planning and professional oversight. Our SLG-certified team (Signing, Lighting & Guarding) is trained to manage traffic safely while performing tree work on Level 1 and Level 2 roads. We develop bespoke Traffic Management Plans and implement all works in compliance with Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual and the Construction Regulations, ensuring public safety and operational efficiency.

6. Tree Work at Night – Emergency/ Unconventional Hours Team

 

Some projects demand flexibility—whether to reduce public disruption or meet urgent timelines. We provide tree surgery services outside of regular hours, including night-time operations. Our team is equipped with professional lighting, signage, and PPE to maintain safety and visibility during low-light conditions. This approach is ideal for city centres, retail parks, or time-sensitive infrastructure projects.

7. Lightning Protection – Installation of Systems & Aftercare


High-value or exposed trees—particularly in parks, golf courses, or historic properties—are vulnerable to lightning damage. We install tree lightning protection systems that comply with ANSI A300 and ISA standards, discreetly grounding electrical strikes to prevent catastrophic injury to the tree. Each system is designed around the tree’s structure and location, offering long-term protection with minimal visual impact.
