Is That Tree Safe?

A tree doesn't have to fall to be dangerous. A new lean, deep splits in the trunk, dead or hanging branches, fungus around the base or roots lifting the ground are all signs it may no longer be sound — and winter gales up the Shannon estuary put weakened trees under real strain.

Every job starts with a proper look: what condition the tree is in, and what it would hit if it failed. Sometimes taking out a few limbs or reducing the crown is enough; sometimes removal is the only safe answer. Either way, we'll explain what we've found and why.

Ash dieback has left many ash trees brittle and unpredictable, especially along roads and field boundaries. We assess affected trees and reduce or remove them before they become a problem.

What’s included

  • Tree condition and risk assessment
  • Removal of dead, diseased or dying trees
  • Ash dieback-affected trees
  • Hanging and broken limb removal
  • Trees leaning towards buildings or roads
  • Priority response for urgent hazards

We had multiple large trees removed due to Ash Dieback. Some were very hard to access and the Elm team had all the correct equipment to do the job safely. Very good crew of lads.

I am really pleased with your team, the service provided, and the great communication. Cutting the trees made a huge difference in the landscape around the house. I would like to thank you for the work done yesterday and for the team's professionalism. They have left everything so clean that no one could notice that 4 trees were cut. Definitely, I will be in touch with Elm Landscaping and tree surgery services if I need more work done in the future.

Dangerous Tree Removal FAQs

Common questions about dangerous trees in Limerick. Can’t see yours? Just ask.

Ask a Question

Watch for a lean that’s new or getting worse, deep cracks in the trunk, dead or hanging branches, mushrooms or bracket fungus near the base, cavities, and soil cracking or lifting on one side. If you spot any of these, have the tree looked at.

Yes. Ash dieback is widespread in Ireland and makes affected trees brittle. We assess ash trees and reduce or remove them where they pose a risk — particularly near houses, roads and paths.

If a tree is an immediate danger, we prioritise the call and get there as quickly as we can. For anything less urgent, we’ll book a site visit at a time that suits you.
