Rang Chris in the early hours due to a fallen tree, he arrived promptly with a positive attitude. Both himself and his employee George removed the tree from my driveway and cleared the debris around. Would definitely recommend and will be using myself again if needed! Great work lads.

Detailed reviews
Needed work done asap and found Chris on here. He came out to look at the job the same day as my request. I needed a whole new tank and drainage fitted. They were very quick to the job, efficient and tidy. I had total confidence in his work and will be recommending him.
Chris was quick to respond, and good to communicate with. I needed one tree canopy reduced by about 20%, and the top cut off another tree. On the day scheduled for the work Storm Ciarán was building up but Jack and George arrived punctually and cheerful. They dealt with the job with knowledge and care, and left the garden tidy. I was very pleased with every aspect of the work, and would highly recommend CJM Tree and Groundwork.

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.
