What We Do
Landscaping and tree care, all under one roof
Absolute Landscaping & Treecare can carry out all of your landscaping needs from small jobs to complete gardens. One team for the lot — paving, fencing, trees, hedges and planting.
Tree Surgery & Removal
Felling, crown reduction, dead-wooding and dangerous tree removal — tracked spider lift for safe access on tight or sloped sites.
Hedge Cutting & Reduction
Leylandii, beech, laurel and box hedges trimmed, reshaped or reduced — tall hedges handled with the lift, all cuttings cleared away.
Paving & Patios
Granite, sandstone, limestone and concrete patios laid on proper foundations — designed to handle Laois weather for decades.
Fencing
Timber, PVC and aluminium louvre fencing — privacy panels, post-and-rail and decorative screens fitted to a clean finish.
Garden Walls
Block, rendered and stone-clad walls, raised beds and retaining walls — properly footed and built to last.
Garden Design
Full design service — concept, layout and planting plan — so you can picture the finished garden before we lift a sod.
Lawns & Planting
New lawns from turf or seed, artificial grass, flower beds and planting tailored to your soil and aspect.
Garden Clearance
Overgrown plots, site clears and green-waste removal — we bring the gear, do the work and leave the site clean.
About John
Hi, I'm John Burke — owner of Absolute Landscaping & Treecare.
I've been landscaping gardens across Laois and the surrounding counties for over 20 years, based at Glenbrook in Ballyroan. What started out as a one-man operation has grown into a small, tight crew — but every job is still priced and run by me personally.
We do the lot. Paving, fencing, walls, planting, lawns, garden design — and the treecare side has become a big part of what we do. With our tracked spider lift we can get into tight gardens and take on tall hedges, dangerous trees and removals that the bigger outfits won't touch.
I don't sub the work out. The lads you meet at the quote are the lads on site — that's how we keep the standard high and the job clean. Give me a shout and I'll come walk the garden with you, no pressure attached.
