Before ➡️ During ➡️ After.

​We’re tree-mendous at the big stuff, the small stuff, and everything in between! Whether it's a delicate prune or a full removal like this medium sycamore, we handle every job with care.

​This particular project was cleared to make way for an exciting garden transformation and an outdoor room. Because we are deeply committed to nurturing nature, we did a thorough wildlife check before getting to work to ensure no nesting birds were disturbed. Plus, removing this non-native sycamore means the homeowner's driveway is finally safe from a seedling takeover! 🌱

Stumped about a garden or outdoor transformation? Root & Branch has you covered!

Here's a short reel of some of our recent work removing a small cherry tree as part of a wider job to extend this customer's driveway.

After a quick (and free) consultation with the customer, we called out first to dismantle and remove the tree, before returning to stump grind the roots and leave the site ready for the next stage.

Given that the entire front lawn area is to be dug out in preparation for a driveway extension, it was important the roots of the tree were removed to at least a depth of 100mm from the finished level for an adequate amount of aggregate/stone (to support and distribute a the weight of vehicles).

When it comes to trees, plants and gardens we keep our customers from barking up the wrong tree!

Tree-mendous results every time!

We were called in to tackle this large conifer that was completely dominating the client's garden and greenhouse.

While it was a big presence, conifers offer minimal biodiversity and can quickly become a major property liability due to their size and often shallow roots combined with their evergreen nature and our increasingly frequent high winds.

We safely and efficiently removed the hazard, reclaiming the entire garden for the next stage in re-developing and native planting. ​We're proud that this complex removal was done with zero property damage, as is the client, who was also happy to get a huge stack of firewood!

If you have a tree that’s become problematic, threatening your home and/or would like a professional review, at Root & Branch we're a 'cut' above the rest! 🪜🌳

Wood you believe this transformation took 1 day?

​Big jobs, small jobs, or "I can’t even see my house anymore" jobs - Root & Branch Tree and Garden Services handles it all!

​This one was a real head-scratcher:

​🚧 The Stakes: Live water mains and BT lines (no pressure, right?).

​🧗 The Struggle: Zero access to the other side.

​🧐 The Standard: A customer who knows exactly what they want.

We were sub-contracted by one of the largest firms in NI because they knew we’d get the job done right, the first time. When the industry giants need precision and a "can-do" work ethic, they call the specialists.

As for the customer, they were very pleased with our work and efficiency. It’s okay to be a little "fussy" about your garden—we are too! Left it neat, tidy, and looking un-be-leaf-able.

​We were actually called in by one of Northern Ireland’s biggest tree firms to handle this one. When the industry giants need precision and a "can-do" work ethic, they call the specialists.

Root & Branch wants you! 🫵

​Are you a social media savant?📱

​Root & Branch Tree and Garden Services is looking for someone to take our social media to the next level.

Having started out in 2020, on top of a wealth of experience and qualifications, we've amassed a serious body of work and unposted content!

Long and short, we’re great at all things trees and gardens but when it comes to "The Gram" and online presence we’re barking up the wrong tree!

​We need a digital expert who can:

- Cultivate a following that’s as sustainable as our pruning methods.

- ​Create posts that don’t just "leaf" people scrolling.

- ​Help our online presence grow faster than an untamed Leylandii.

​The Requirements:

- ​Must love social media and getting wet, cold and dirty (OK, just social media).

- ​An iron will to deal with our tree-mendous puns.

- Strictly 100% organic vibes only!

​If you think you’ve got the "roots" to help us succeed, slide into our DMs or apply within!

When the going gets the tough, the tough get going!

Throwback to a big tree removal job our expert team was called in to help on last Autumn.

These two impressive mature beech trees on the border of Glenlyon Park, Holywood, unfortunately had to be removed for safety reasons - fungal disease having led to serious heart rot and had compromised the structural integrity of both trees, which were within striking distance of several residential properties and overhanging both LV powerlines and the busy Victoria Road, Holywood.

In this challenging and high-risk industry, collaboration with competent and qualified professionals is essential. Hence, when we at Root & Branch received the call from Larkin Tree Care, another reputed local firm, we were happy to offer our experience and expertise to safely remove these trees.

Moreover, given their location by the roadside, additional collaboration with McVeigh Traffic Management was imperative to close the road and make the site safe while the felling work was ongoing... for the day! While the entire job was wrapped up in 2 days.

All in all, another (couple of) day's work for us at Root & Branch Tree and Garden Services. You know who to call 😉

Looking to transform your garden?

Here's a quick before and after of some of our recent work for a lovely couple in Castlereagh. Like many of us, they have big plans for their garden and are looking to do as much as they can themselves.

That being said, some of the work was outside of their capabilities, namely the safe removal of this conifer and the (sympathetic) topping of this variegated holly. So after a quick and no obligation free quote from Root & Branch, we called round and did our thing!

Another happy customer with our neat and efficient work, as well as with our expert advice on how to move forward with their outdoor plans. What goes around comes around 🌱😊

Thanks Paula & Jonny for choosing Root & Branch!

Big tree and high risks, who you gonna call? Root & Branch Tree Services!

Here's a wee clip of us making the top cut on this extra large conifer (cupressus x leylandii) that we were called in to help on. Hard to believe this 20m tree was less than 40 years old.

If you're based in Northern Ireland and have hedges or trees that have grown out of proportion, or that you want to keep on top of, give me a call (Gavin) on 07307 852 155.

Been a while since we've posted anything (social media has always been low priority), but we've not stopped working all over the country and beyond!

Here's some photos from yesterday's site at the edge of the Clandeboye Estate - making safe several Scots Pine trees on the woodland edge that were within striking distance of neighbouring houses.

Working with all parties involved, we successfully managed to minimise the impact on the woodland while at the same time removing the risk of these trees damaging the neighbouring properties.

The photos don't quite capture the size (25m +) and bulk to these mature Scots Pine, which are definitely one of the most majestic and imposing local tree species. In the end, we control felled the 2 trees nearest to the properties and crown reduced (with rigging techniques) another 2 trees on the edgeline.

With big trees, multiple risks and minimal room for error, it pays to go with the professionals 👷🌳

Sauna project photo progression

From a daydream idea during lockdown, this garden project came to be a reality in a few months last year.

Starting with the grounds and then the sauna provider, we made our inspections and measurements to make sure everything was possible. Once we knew it would fit and could be safely delivered by crane, we marked out our site and got stuck in to clearing and leveling the ground to provide drainage and a solid base (a concrete pad) for the sauna.

After making sure we were happy with the compacted aggregate, the next step was then to create a frame for the concrete pad. This was then lined with a damp-proof course, followed by a suitably sized frame of steel rebar to provide additional reinforcement for the concrete.

Having finished the concrete and allowed it to dry, we then removed the wooden frame and added additional aggregate to bring the entire area up to level. The next step was marking out where exactly to place the sauna, before having it delivered and lowered into place, which all went very smoothly.

Finally, with the sauna in place, we added the requested finishing touches - a side border around the entire sauna that tied-in with the previously existing one, a back-step, rounded golden decorative stones and additional plants.

Project work can often be daunting for both the customer and the landscaper, but with patience, perseverance and the right preparation it's all possible and oh so satisfying!
