Treepro Ltd are experienced, professional, highly technical and customer focused tree surgeons, with an in depth understanding and appreciation of trees.

“We’re a company that is built on solid foundations,” explained Managing Director Francis O’Driscoll. “We have 25 highly skilled employees and we place a huge emphasis on employing local lads, supporting Irish jobs and supporting local businesses.

“We always try to do best for our own area and the success of the company is built on the staff. We’re lucky to have an outstanding crew of lads, some of whom have been with us since the start because we don’t tend to have a high turnover of employees. Once they reach the required standard of skill set they don’t tend to move.”

Whatever the tree, whatever the process, Treepro will find the best solution for you.

At Treepro they have specialist knowledge, training and qualifications in a wide range of services for governmental, commercial, industrial and domestic sectors.

Their systems, procedures, focus and training is specifically geared towards government organisations, public sectors and large scale commercial and industrial requirements.

They possess the skills, experience and technical expertise to offer a large variety of services to customers of all sizes.

Treepro trim approximately 14,700 trees annually. That is almost 367,500 trees trimmed to the highest professional standard in their 26 year history.
They have the experience, knowledge and track record of performance to get the job done.

They have a specialised fleet and equipment designed to optimise performance and serve their clients in the most efficient, effective and safety focused way possible. All equipment maintenance is carried out on site by highly qualified staff ensuring all their services are conducted to the highest industry standards.

With a background in agriculture and a horticulture qualification, Francis sowed the seeds for Treepro way back in 1989 and started off with just one part-time employee on the payroll.

“We’re a straight forward company and that’s an honest appraisal,” he added. “We’re not claiming to be the best or the worst. All we are claiming is that we are a viable company, employing lads and giving them a viable wage. There’s companies out there at the minute who use and abuse lads but we’re trying to be sustainable looking ahead to the future and grow what we have here.”

When asked to elaborate on that point, Francis replied: “At the end of the day, it’s frustrating for fellas like myself who have invested a huge amount of money in training and health and safety. In this country, if you’re a legit company you don’t always get the rewards.

“I understand this business, I understand the resources and equipment that is required to complete any given job. I price jobs accordingly but there are some contractors out there who are working under the radar and that is frustrating.”

All of Treepro’s staff are trained and NPTC certified to the highest standard. Each operator is specifically trained to perform their certified task to the highest industry standard, following best working practices.

Looking ahead to the future, the experience of the team at Treepro leaves the company ideally placed to provide practical solutions for their customers, whatever their needs.

“I would be optimistic about the future,” Francies outlined. “It’s a good business to be in and there is room for this business to be developed big time in this country. There’s a cross section of contractors out there, some good, some not so good, but the industry hasn’t really found its legs in this country yet.”

In 26 years Treepro Ltd’s philosophy hasn’t changed and is still based on a passion and commitment to ensure that they operate at the highest technical and professional level.

They are rightly regarded as industry leading professional tree surgeons committed to providing  the full range of tree management service and they have have 16,400 satisfied customers to prove it!
