Service

Tree Care

Tree work sits alongside site clearance, plant hire and land management within the same business — from a single tree to access-restricted, large-scale removals.

Capabilities

What this covers.

Professional arboriculture and tree-care service.

  • Tree removal
  • Crown reduction and pruning
  • Hazardous and storm-damage work
  • Site and access-restricted felling

The tree is rarely the whole job.

What makes tree work difficult is usually everything around it — what the access allows, what the ground will carry, and what has to happen once the tree is down.

  • Removals, pruning and storm work handled by the same team, from a single tree upward.
  • Heavier machinery and wider site access already in the business, so a job that grows does not need a second contractor.
  • Access and ground conditions worked out before any cutting starts.
  • Commercial, estate and infrastructure work as well as one-off removals.

Arboriculture, done at the right scale.

Tree care covers everything from routine pruning and crown maintenance to hazardous removals and storm-damage response. Because Farrelly Bros also runs site clearance, plant hire and land contracting, a tree job that turns out to need heavier machinery or wider site access doesn't need a second contractor brought in — the equipment and experience are already in the business.

  • Single trees through to large-scale, phased removals.
  • Technically demanding felling where there is no room to drop a stem whole.
  • Work sequenced around site access rather than around the tree alone.

Where this applies

Development and construction sites

Site and access-restricted felling sequenced around what a build programme needs cleared.

Land and estate management

Routine crown reduction, pruning and removals handled by the same team as one-off heavier work.

Infrastructure and utility corridors

Technically demanding felling where there's no room to drop a stem whole, close to lines and corridors.

Storm and emergency response

Hazardous and storm-damaged trees removed, drawing on heavier machinery already in the business.

How it runs

From first look to leaving site.

Tree work is quoted on what the site actually allows, not on the tree alone. Access, ground conditions and what happens to the timber all change the job — so they are settled before anything starts.

The tree, the access and the ground get assessed together, because between them they decide how the work can be done.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need permission before a tree is removed?

Possibly. Protected trees, conservation areas, hedgerow rules and planning conditions can all apply, and they vary by site. Check with your local authority before work is booked — we will tell you if something looks like it needs consent, but the permission itself rests with the landowner.

Can you work on a site with restricted access?

Usually, yes — that is a large part of what the assessment is for. What matters is what can physically reach the tree and what the ground will carry. Where a machine cannot get in, the tree comes down in sections instead.

What happens to the timber and brash?

That is agreed at quote stage rather than left to the end of the job, because it changes both the work and the price. Chipping, removal or leaving material on site are all options depending on what suits you.

Can you deal with a tree that has come down in a storm?

Yes. Storm-damaged and hazardous trees are part of the service. Tell us what has happened and how the site is accessed, and we will advise on what the work involves.

Land and vegetation services

Often delivered alongside.

Most sites need more than one of these. Each is planned and resourced by the same team.
