Residential Services

Woodland & Estate Management

At McAuley’s, we provide expert woodland and estate management services across Northern Ireland, helping landowners, private estates, and public bodies care for their landscapes with long-term sustainability in mind. From tree safety to habitat enhancement, we work with care, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the land.

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.

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 & Vegetation Surveys

McAuley’s offers professional tree and vegetation surveys for residential, commercial, and public sector clients throughout Northern Ireland. Our reports are tailored to meet planning requirements, safety standards, and long-term land management needs.

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.

What is the difference between an arborist and a tree surgeon?

A tree surgeon is trained to be able to fell, prune, shape or crown reduce trees.

An arborist is trained to check trees for disease, give advice on their care and maintenance.

McAuley tree surgery have staff trained in both areas to offer an all-round professional service or your tree requirements.

What is the difference between crown reduction, and topping a tree?

Tree topping is removing the large branches from the tree top and leaving only the lateral branches and stumps on the tree. This, however, is not the best way to reduce the height of the tree long term. Topping instead can cause shock, frantic regrowth, disease or potentially death, it is only used if a tree has experienced severe damage from a natural disaster.

Crown reduction involves reducing the foliage while preserving the general structure of the crown. This can reduce the size and shape of the tree while ensuring it stays healthy. The limbs on the upmost portion of the tree are cut shorter but only removed next to the lateral growth to be able to ensure that they heal faster and grow again properly.
