Tree Inspections and Tree Surveys in Cork

Healthy trees add value, privacy, and character. Unsafe or poorly managed trees can threaten people, buildings, and utilities. O’Kennedy Tree Care provides professional tree inspections and tree surveys across Cork for homeowners, property managers, schools, and developers. Our reports give you clear, defensible decisions that align with Irish regulations and local planning requirements.

When to Book A Tree Inspection:

  • After severe winds or prolonged rain

  • Before buying or selling a property

  • When a tree shows a new lean, base decay, or large dead branches

  • When trees overhang boundaries, public roads, or utility corridors

What is a Tree Inspection?

A tree inspection is a systematic health and safety check of individual trees or groups of trees. We examine structure, vitality, and site conditions to identify defects and recommend practical actions.

Crown dieback, large deadwood, and storm damage.

Cracks, cavities, fungal fruiting bodies, weak unions.

Root plate movement, soil heave, and past construction impact

What We Look For:

Targets beneath the tree such as roads, play areas, parking, greenhouses

How We Assess Risk:

Our arborists use internationally recognised tree risk methodologies to combine likelihood of failure with the consequence of failure. This produces proportionate recommendations such as monitoring, selective pruning, supportive bracing, or removal where unavoidable.

Tree Surveys & Inspections Cork

Our Tree Survey Deliverables:

Category grading to BS 5837 guidance and Root Protection Area calculations for design constraints

 

Tree Constraints Plan to help architects fit buildings, drainage, and access around retained trees

Arboricultural Impact Assessment outlining predicted effects of the proposal

Tree Protection Plan with fencing lines and ground protection for the build phase

Method statements for works near trees such as trenching, surfacing, and service runs

Documented inspections let you demonstrate reasonable care for visitors, staff, and neighbours. Risk control is about proportional management, not over-removal.
