Hard Landscaping FAQs

Hard landscaping refers to the structural and built elements of a landscape, such as paving, walls, and driveways, while soft landscaping covers planting, lawns, and living features.
We work with a wide range of materials, including natural stone, concrete, brick, and timber, depending on the design and function of the project.
The timescale depends on the size and complexity of the project. Smaller patios or pathways can be completed in a few days, while larger commercial projects may take several weeks.

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.
