## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Roy completed the removal of 4 large tree stumps for us and made a brilliant job of it. Our garden is tricky being split level with difficult access but this did not cause any problems and the job was completed to perfection."
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Roy was highly recommended to me by a friend. I needed three bamboo roots removing, which would have taken me weeks to do myself! My garden is not easily accessible, so the machine he would usually do the job with, could not be used. Instead, Roy did the whole thing with hand tools. He went above and beyond to accommodate my working hours and fitted around them. He was very respectful of my property and completed the job to a very high standard."

> "We had ten stumps ground out and couldn’t be happier with the job that was completed ,a super nice chap who turned up on time . The machine was super small compared with other companies I called and so it won’t damage anything getting in to the garden .I think the machine can shrink down to only 26inchs wide but it ripped through the stumps With ease . Oh and the price we agreed was the price absolutely no messing around"

## Before you hire a tree surgeon / arborist
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Check 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.
- Prefer a tree surgeon approved by the Arboricultural Association, and check with your local council's tree officer before working on any protected tree or one in a conservation area.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
