Celebrating Innovative Technology in Arboriculture in Ireland

We are thrilled to announce that Holly Arboriculture has been shortlisted for the Innovative Technology category at the Newstalk Changemakers Awards 2025. This prestigious event recognises pioneering companies that are driving change through innovation and technology, and we are incredibly proud to be among this year’s finalists.

At Holly Arboriculture, we leverage advanced technology to complete tree health assessments in Ireland. Our Arborsonic 3D Acoustic Tomograph and DynaRoot System provide accurate insights into decay detection and root stability. These non-invasive diagnostic tools allow for data-driven decisions.For our clients, this means greater confidence in the decisions and the ability to preserve mature trees that contribute to landscape value and environmental health.

For us, being a Changemaker in Technology means leveraging innovative tools to make our communities safer and our landscapes more sustainable. With the Arborsonic 3D Acoustic Tomograph, we can detect decay in trees long before it becomes a hazard, preventing potential risks to public safety. The DynaRoot System goes further by assessing root stability. Our focus on Tree Health Assessment Technology provides our clients with the data needed for confident decision-making.

Our technology not only safeguards tree health but also aligns with wider climate resilience strategies, helping cities and rural communities protect their natural assets in the face of growing environmental challenges. Our solutions are integrated into Sustainable Land Management practices that aim to protect ecosystems while promoting growth.
