“Neil and his team have looked after my garden for at least the last decade. Several trees needed to be taken out. There is also a 12-meter laurel hedge that needs to be trimmed every year as well as a wall of ivy threatening to engulf roof gutters. Neil’s work is reliably impeccable, including the task of bringing all the detritus through the main house. Over the years, five remaining trees have been carefully managed. One in particular, a boundary tree, caused a lot of friction with new neighbours who wanted it cut down or cut in half. Neil not only managed to trim the tree in such a way as to allow more light through, he also managed the fraught diplomatic relations with the neighbours. It did not surprise me to discover afterwards that Neil also has a degree in psychology, as he is as skilful with people as with trees.” - Jerusha McCormack, Dublin 4.

“Neil Motherway and his team have been looking after the trees in my front and back gardens for over ten years. These trees include a huge Canadian Sugar Maple, Scots Pines and Larches together with crab apples and numerous large shrubs.

I have always been very impressed with Neil’s technical knowledge of what is right for the health and welfare of the individual trees and also with the professional expertise of his team on site.

The site is always left in an impeccable state after the work and I have verified that the rates charged are very competitive.

I would heartily recommend the company to prospective customers.” - Frank Young, Foxrock.

“This was the first time we have used Motherway tree surgeon. The whole process from initial enquiry through to completion was very easy. We would definitely recommend their services, and will be using them again in the near future.” - Craig, Wicklow.

“I have employed Neil Motherway for many years to carry out work in my garden. This work involves trimming and shapng hedges and shrubs, pruning tree branches, removing overgrown shrubs and the occasional tree.

Neil and his crew always arrive punctually on the date and time agreed in advance.

His approach to his work is highly professional and I am always pleased with its quality and standard.

I am also happy to rely on his advice and suggestions on the care and management of my garden trees and shrubs.

He recently did an excellent job pruning a cornus controversa variegata growing in my small front garden. Its branches had spread so much it was overshadowing many other plants. In pruning it he managed to maintain its characteristic “wedding cake” tiered shape while allowing much more light in to neighbouring plants.

When the work is complete Neil and his crew clear up and mulch everything leaving the garden and paths super clean and tidy.

As a very satisfied customer I can highly recommend Neil and I will continue to use his company to look after my garden.” - Ann Kelly, Rathfarnham

“Neil and his team gave a very professional service. They were well equipped and worked hard and efficiently. We liked his ethos concerning the health of the trees and consulted through the process with us. Did a great tidy up before leaving. We highly recommend his expertise.” - Ann Hayes

“I engaged Neil to cut the top and both sides of a beech hedge, to fell some trees, to cut back other bushes and brambles, to trim a cotoneaster hedge and to remove or trim and shape other hedges and shrubs. The work involved was extensive, but was carried out by Neil and his 2 workers to an excellent standard. The garden was left in an impeccable state, all 'debris' was cleared away to an extent that you would not know there had been any. The lads were a pleasure to have working, and nothing was too much. When I added some extra work to the requirements, this was no problem at all. The weather conditions were horrific when they were working, but this in no way impacted on the quality of the work done. Before finishing up, Neil insisted on me inspecting the work done to ensure I was happy, which of course I was. I would have no hesitation in recommending Neil for any job.” - Annette O’Hara

“Neil gave us excellent advice regarding the removal of a eucalyptus tree from the front of our house. On his recommendation, we subsequently had the tree safely removed, by his team. A very efficient, professional and tidy job, worth every cent. Having experienced Storm Darragh, we are eternally grateful to him.” - Mary Redmond

“Used Neil and his team for hedge trimming and tree cutting , a two day job . Everything carried out to satisfaction and easy to work with he was also happy to provide helpful advice on maintenance etc. would have no hesitation in recommending.” - Alan, Wicklow

“Reluctantly our Leylandii had to go, before it rooted up walls and ran off with the neighbour’s cat. Neil and his team surveyed and advised on the site before the Final Cut, leaving behind a handsome stump to continue to entertain birds, cats, and myself, with bird feeders and solar lights and fairy visits. (My additions).
Neil had patience with my whimsical sadness at losing my tree, the work was swift and painless, the garden was left clean and tidy, and the damage to my purse was manageable. The final comment was Neil pausing on his way out, to fix the stonework on the waterfall on my pond.

“That’s not right, try this”….. I only wish I had more trees.” - Teena Gates

“I have used this service twice and it is my intention to do so in the future. It is very difficult these days to not only find a reliable company but also an honest crew who work hard and are so obliging to do the jobs you need doing as well as completing every thing with impeccable skills. My garden was an enormous unkempt mess of foliage and overgrowth of weeds and now has become the beautiful garden that I once possessed. So if you want an honest hardworking and very professional service this is the company you need l recommend them and hope if you choose to employ them you will not be disappointed and will find a quality job and like me a very satisfied customer. Thanks to Neil and his workers” - Valerie, Dublin

“I have used Neil’s tree surgery team twice in the recent past. I have found them to be highly skilled, professional and customer focused. It is the combination of solid professional advice and willingness to meet customer needs which makes for a very effective and efficient service. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to my friends and neighbours.” - Eugene Cooke, Ranelagh.

“I contacted Neil having been recommended by my neighbour who had used his crews service to remedy some issues with his mature trees on his property, having similar issues myself I didn’t know where to start, Neil talked me through everything and completed the work in no time, ever helpful and courteous I would recommend.” - Tina, Dublin 13

“I recently contacted Neil regarding the pruning of some trees and ivy. He was very helpful over the phone and suggested a visit to call and see what had to be done. He called, as arranged, and told me there was no need to prune the trees. He was very kind in giving me free advice and information and explaining the habitat of the tree variety. I was very impressed by his honesty and I would have no problem whatsoever in recommending him to family and friends.” - Jo. Dublin.
