If you think that it's expensive to hire a professional, just wait until you hire an amateur. No insurance company in Ireland caters for tree surgery. My oul man had it with Zurich, and my big brother had it with the Hibernian . Now we can only get it in England. Only two Irish brokers that I know of can organise it.

We bring more light into peoples homes than the E S.B.

Do good work and you will always be busy.

1. Beware of canvassers knocking at your door looking to cut trees. There are no bargains at the front door. 2. If they haven't got tree surgery insurance, you could lose your home. 3. If your neighbour wants to cut your tree, make sure that you organize the contractor. 4. If your neighbour's tree falls on your property, it's your insurance that pays. 5. Remember trees can be like pets, some of them don't always stay that small. www.abatisdublintreeservices.com
