Ash carried out the job requested to a very high standard and consulted throughout to make sure we were happy at every stage. He cleared a ditch of low willow and brambles and took back 35feet willows so that we now have our view back! Highly recommend him for any job, courteous and friendly and did all that was requested.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
Excellent worker. Reduced size of cherry tree to a much smaller size. Very pleased indeed with the work carried out. All branches and leaves taken away. Would be pleased to recommend.
Ash was very accommodating and helpful. We hired him to fell a Christmas tree in our garden and while he was there, he was able to do the holly tree also. Very friendly and efficient. Will be using him again, Thanks Ash

Tree work is dangerous and unregulated - anyone can call themselves a tree surgeon. Arboricultural Association ARB Approved Contractors are independently assessed for the quality of their tree work, their qualifications, their insurance and their health & safety, and are re-assessed regularly. Check they're listed before work starts near your home or power lines.
Check the ARB Approved Contractor directoryPublic-liability cover for tree work is commonly £2–5m. Anything much lower is worth questioning on a big job.
Check they carry public-liability insurance and ask to SEE the certificate. Tree work is high-risk and damage to your property, a neighbour's, or a person is expensive to put right.
Before any felling or heavy pruning, check whether the tree is protected (a preservation order, a conservation area, or active bird nesting), because YOU, the homeowner, can be fined for unauthorised work, not just the contractor.
