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.

Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 24 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Seb & his crew were friendly, polite, respectful, prompt & hard working. They completed the work, (crown reductions & thinning), within the time frame & even put up a bat box, which was handmade by one of their team. They left the garden tidy and were considerate of our neighbours' gardens as well. We are very pleased with the finished result. The trees are greatly improved & are a better shape & overall condition. We have already recommended them to others. Thank you, to all of you.”
“Excellent communication throughout, fantastic and conscientious work finishing with clearing up and leaving site immaculate following an excellent job completed. Cannot recommend Batsons enough, you can contract them with confidence of a job well done”
“I found the firm on Checkatrade and after exchanging a few emails someone from the firm called at my home to look at the job and see what I required doing. After receiving a detailed estimate of cost I confirmed a date for the work to be done. The team turned up on time and did the work exactly as I required. They were very professional and efficient and I would thoroughly recommend them.”

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
