“Alex popped round to discuss our interest in removing a 50 Foot + tree next to our house. He was first class in walking through the scope of the work. A quote followed soon after and we promptly gave him the go-ahead. The following week his team turned up bang on time. I was mightily impressed with the speed, efficiency and professionalism of their work, whilst employing high levels of safety. 2 hours later the tree had been dismantled and all debris disposed of. I was mesmerised watching the tree be taken down by these experienced guys. I would highly recommend Chippings Tree Surgery”

I have been using Chippings tree surgery on a regular basis for many years for maintaining numerous large trees and shrubs. Alex (and Mark) are both excellent at their work, I cannot fault their expertise in any way. I would not want to use anyone else.

Alex arrived with his fellow colleagues at the time he said he would. We clarified the work I wanted to be carried out. It was done in good time, exactly as I wanted it done and they cleared up extremely well. Great job all round. Thanks guys!
Have used Alex for years and the guys always do a good job. Professional , neat and tidy and willing to give advice without any pressure. Reasonable pricing and I don’t hesitate in recommending their services.

Great service; from first visit and quote, to completion of agreed work. As we were only working on one aspect/quadrant of the tree canopy. Alex and the team worked hard to ensure he completed the job to my satisfaction, but maintained the shape and look of the tree. Great job!
