Tree Planting & Aftercare

Trees are one of the most valuable assets in any landscape, offering beauty, shade, and long-term environmental benefits. Successful tree planting requires more than just putting a sapling in the ground – it needs careful planning, expert planting, and ongoing aftercare to ensure healthy growth for years to come.

Tree Planting & Aftercare FAQs

The best time for planting is during the dormant season (late autumn to early spring), when trees are less stressed and can establish roots before summer growth.
Aftercare typically includes regular watering (especially in the first two years), mulching to retain moisture, and checking stakes or guards to protect the young tree.
Native species such as oak, birch, rowan, and alder thrive in local conditions, but we also plant a wide range of ornamental and evergreen species depending on your project needs.

Tree Surveys & Risk Assessments

Trees bring huge benefits to our environment, but they can also present risks if not properly inspected and managed. Regular surveys and assessments help property owners, councils, and businesses meet their responsibilities while keeping people and property safe.

Tree Removal & Sectional Dismantling

Sometimes a tree needs to be removed for safety, development, or landscape management reasons. Whether it’s a dangerous tree or one growing in a difficult location, safe removal requires skilled techniques and professional equipment.

Tree Pruning & Crown Management

Pruning and crown management are essential for maintaining the health, safety, and appearance of your trees. Properly managed trees live longer, grow stronger, and integrate more harmoniously into their surroundings.

Stump Grinding & Removal

Tree stumps can be unsightly, take up valuable space, and even cause safety hazards if left untreated. Removing them with professional stump grinding is the most effective way to restore your outdoor space.

Site Clearance & Land Preparation

Before any successful landscaping, development, or environmental work can begin, the site must be properly cleared and prepared. Site clearance and land preparation are essential for safety, stability, and long-term results — and McAuley’s offers a reliable, professional approach across Northern Ireland.

Site Clearance & Environmental Restoration

Clearing a site is about more than just removing trees and vegetation — it’s about doing so safely, efficiently, and with care for the environment. Whether you’re getting land ready for building, restoring a neglected area, or managing overgrowth, expert site clearance and environmental restoration helps unlock the potential of your space.

Invasive Species Management

Invasive plant species can cause serious damage to property, native habitats, and local ecosystems. Whether you’re a homeowner, land manager, or developer, proper identification and treatment are essential to meet legal obligations and prevent long-term spread. Professional management ensures safe, compliant, and effective control.
