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.

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.

Locally Sourced, Seasoned and Kiln-dried Fire Wood

McAuley’s supplies premium kiln-dried and seasoned firewood across Northern Ireland, sustainably sourced from our own tree surgery and woodland management. Our ash, beech, and oak logs are ideal for stoves, open fires, and pizza ovens – with great prices, local delivery, and a focus on sustainability.

Emergency Tree Work

Storm damage, fallen branches, or hazardous trees can create dangerous situations for homes, businesses, and public spaces. When emergencies happen, quick action is essential to keep people safe and prevent further damage.

Cabling & Bracing

Supporting trees with cabling and bracing can prevent failure, extend their lifespan, and keep them safe in high-risk areas. This technique provides extra stability for trees with weak structures while maintaining their natural beauty.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. McAuley Tree Surgeons were recommended to me and I have no hesitation in recommending them onward.  Very professional and obliging.  In our case the team took down a large dangerous tree alongside a major road.  They did so safely and without fuss.  Cleared up all the debris and left any logs in a stack for ourselves.  Will be getting them again next Spring.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t recommend this team highly enough, Kieran, ably assisted by Robin, dealt with a locationally very difficult job with no room for mistakes due to the proximity a workshop. They were very obliging  and generous with their time and left the area cleared and tidy and the contract price was more than fair. Arnie.
