We first met Kevin O’Kennedy early in 2006 when a friend, knowing that we were looking for someone to deal with problems caused by our large trees, recommended him to us. We were very pleased with the job that he and his crew did then, so much so that we have called on him regularly ever since , both for pruning and for removal of several trees. In February of this year, the crew took down a big maple (9’ in circumference at the base). This was a major job, since the tree was not only overhanging a busy road but had become entangled with telephone wires; afterwards neighbours commented on the neatness and skill with which the work was accomplished. At the same time, they carried out purely cosmetic surgery on a Himalayan birch whose natural shape had been marred by a tangle of horizontal branches (picture taken June 12).

In all our dealings with them, we have found Mr. O’Kennedy and his crews very professional. They come and go when they say they will, they clean up after themselves, and both the job and price have always been discussed and clearly understood beforehand—although, on one memorable occasion, we were offered a reduction because the job had taken less time than anticipated. They do not turn up with chain saws at the ready, but, while offering sound advice and expertise, have respected our trees and our views. We take it for granted that we’ll be calling them back again.

We, at The Forestry Company, would have no hesitation in recommending O’Kennedy Tree Care Ltd. to anyone looking for competent and professional tree surgeons. We have engaged their services on a number of our forestry projects and have always been extremely happy with the service provided. Every member of the team at O’Kennedy Tree Care offers professional advice and carries out their work to the highest standards in a safe and timely manner. We would highly recommend O’Kennedy Tree Care Ltd. and look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

Manager Ground Maintenance and Landscaping

Kevin O’Kennedy of O’Kennedy tree care has carried out all our tree care services for up to 10 years.
I have found his work to be of a very high standard and has always completed the work to our satisfaction.
His horticultural advice has been invaluable and any subcontractors, i.e. stump grinding operators have been equally of excellent quality.
The best reference I can give O’Kennedy tree care is that they have always got repeat work from COPE Foundation on account of the high standard of work and, also, their competitive rates.
