Large tree removal


The removal of any trees, but especially larger trees and large tree heads, can be a hazardous business. The sheer mass of wood involved is often not appreicated when we live beside them for years, so one of the main things to think about when looking at removing a tree is safety. There may be risks of electrocution in the case of felling a tree near power lines, fire, and personal and property damage, such as to fences or your neighbour's land. There are also regulations and insurance to consider.

Tree felling is one of the most dangerous jobs you can undertake in Mayo, so it's always best to get a professional in to deal with it.

Here at O'Rourke tree surgery we have a range of the latest equipment, including some that can be found nowhere else in the country, to safely, quickly and efficiently remove trees from your property, even the largest. Our many years of expertise will ensure that a problem tree is taken down and out, and the wood chipped if need be, usign our cherry picker lifting work platform and specialised heavy vehicles.

A tree lift or tree elevator is a very tall machine that lets a tree surgeon rise up to the height of the top of the tree and remove pieces in segments, or prune back branches as need be. Every tree surgery job is different, and the techniques used can vary with live trees and dead trees, small and tall trees. It can be very difficult to tell which way a dead tree will fall regardless of wedges being used, unless you have a lot of experience in felling trees, as we do. If you're just clearing a large tree to let smaller ones nearby grow, that is again something different.

The location of the tree is also a primary factor to think about - if you're felling a tree in the middle of busy towns like Castlebar or Claremorris, it's a different story to taking one down in the countryside out in Dunmore or Roundfort. Timing and speed of operation are essential aspects to safe and efficient tree removal.

And once you have the tree down there is the stump to consider. We can chip the wood and take away the tree sections, and we can grind the stump down too. This brings its own challenges, since roots can dig under buildings and into foundations, or work their way around water, sewerage, gas or power lines.

So if you're looking for a chainsaw man, wood chipping or stump grinding, look no further, Tom O'Rourke in county Mayo is the best tree surgeon you can find!

Testimonials

I am trying to restore the old house my grandfather built in the 1930s which sits on about an acre of land. There used to be an orchard there years ago but time did away with it and the main things I wanted were to remove any dangerous/dead trees/branches and set the site up so when I replant the orchard, it will stand the best chance of thriving.

The trees are mature and massive so I knew I’d need someone with great experience, equipment and sensitivity - Tom and his team have this in abundance!

From the moment Tom came to see the site to talk through the project, I knew he was committed to do what was best for the place.

When the time came for the works to commence, it took a lot of unseen efforts (and a bit of groundwork for access purposes that seemed to happen in the blink of an eye) just to get the machinery to site and ready to carry out the excellent work that followed.

I would not hesitate in recommending O’Rourke Landscaping & Tree Services to anyone wishing to do anything to the outside of their houses to be honest - it seems like they have all the experience, know-how and care to achieve it all!

On top of all that - they are just lovely people and I’ll be delighted to require their services again.
