Expert tree care rooted in professionalism, safety, and environmental stewardship
At Thelacriz, we believe that exceptional tree care combines technical expertise with genuine respect for nature. Our mission is to provide Irish homeowners and businesses with professional arboriculture services that enhance property value, ensure safety, and promote the long-term health of trees and hedges. We approach every project with the same dedication, whether it's a small garden hedge or a large estate requiring comprehensive tree management.
Our arborists bring decades of combined experience working with Irish tree species and climate conditions. Each team member undergoes continuous professional development to stay current with best practices in tree care and safety protocols.
We take time to understand your specific needs and vision for your outdoor space. From initial consultation through project completion, we maintain clear communication and deliver results that exceed expectations.
Punctuality and consistency define our work ethic. We arrive on schedule, complete projects within agreed timeframes, and maintain your property with respect throughout the process. Your satisfaction is our priority.
Your safety and ours is paramount in every job we undertake
All our team members hold relevant certifications in arboriculture and tree surgery. We maintain professional liability insurance and comprehensive public liability coverage, giving you complete peace of mind when we work on your property.
Every project begins with a thorough risk assessment. We use industry-leading safety equipment, including climbing gear, fall protection, and personal protective equipment. Our team follows strict safety procedures for every task, from basic hedge trimming to complex tree removals.
We invest in high-quality, well-maintained equipment designed for professional arboriculture. From precision pruning tools to advanced climbing systems, our gear ensures efficient work while minimising risk to both our team and your property.
Responsible waste management and environmental stewardship
We never send green waste to landfill. All branches, leaves, and wood are recycled through approved facilities. Larger timber pieces are processed for use as firewood or woodworking materials, whilst smaller material becomes mulch or compost.
Whenever possible, we employ mechanical and biological approaches rather than chemical treatments. Our pruning techniques promote natural tree health and resistance to disease, reducing the need for interventions that might harm beneficial insects or soil organisms.
We actively encourage the planting and preservation of native Irish tree species. When consulted on new plantings, we recommend varieties suited to local conditions that support indigenous wildlife and require minimal ongoing intervention.
Professional-grade equipment and industry-recognised qualifications
Our toolkit includes professional-grade chainsaws, pole saws, hedge trimmers, stump grinders, and climbing equipment. We use LOLER-certified lifting equipment and maintain all tools to manufacturer specifications with regular servicing schedules.
Our team holds certifications from recognised bodies including NPTC (National Proficiency Tests Council) in chainsaw operation, tree climbing, and aerial rescue. We maintain first aid certification and complete regular refresher training.
Arboriculture constantly evolves with new research and techniques. We invest in ongoing professional development, attending workshops and training sessions to ensure our practices reflect current best standards in tree care and safety.
Expertise tailored to Ireland's unique weather patterns and seasons
Ireland's temperate maritime climate presents specific challenges and opportunities for tree care. Our team understands how Atlantic weather systems, mild winters, and ample rainfall affect tree growth and health. We time pruning work to align with natural growth cycles, maximising recovery and minimising stress on trees.
High winds from autumn through spring require particular attention to tree structure and stability. We assess wind exposure when planning pruning work, ensuring trees maintain appropriate wind resistance whilst achieving desired shape and health outcomes. Our experience with common Irish species means we recognise early signs of stress or disease specific to local conditions.
The extended growing season in Ireland means hedges and trees often require more frequent attention than in continental climates. We design maintenance schedules that work with these patterns, keeping your landscape looking its best throughout the year whilst respecting each plant's natural rhythm.
