Highlights
"They attended 3 days in a row, were very punctual, extremely courteous and informative, and as far as I could tell did a great job reducing the tree without killing it. They displayed a high degree of skill and experience."
"Team of 3, very professional, excellent job including amazing shaping of all hedges and tree, raked up all cuttings and took away with them. Can not fault."
"These guys worked really hard. They took care of my property. They overcame unexpected difficulties (eg wire netting around the bases) without a murmur. They kept on going until it was all done. They charged me exactly what they said they would. I would definitely use them again."

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 directoryCheck they carry public-liability insurance (commonly £2–5m) 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.
Get the scope in writing (which trees, how much to take off, and who removes the waste and grinds the stump), and never pay in full before the work is finished.
