Highlights
“Allan was quick to reply to my request for a job and came round the same day to look at the tree. We talked about what needed doing and he booked us in promptly. On the day he and Billy arrived earlier than expected and got straight to work. All debris was cleared up on our side and from our neighbours garden too and I appreciated that they went back over the area a few times to make sure nothing was missed. They also trimmed back other bushes from the property line which was an added bonus. I'd absolutely use them again and will be recommending them to others.”

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
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.
