Highlights

"Chris came and quoted removal of a medium sized conifer from the back garden of our new house for us. He was friendly and pleasant, and offered a competitive price. He was able to fit us in within a week of quoting; turned up and had the tree down quickly, disposed of all the waste and tidied the area nice and neatly. He then invoiced exactly as quoted. We would thoroughly recommend him."

"What a fantastic team of people and the job they did on cutting back my three big Oak Trees was Excellent. Chris took care of getting the planning permission as there were TPO’s on them all and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Thank you so much ??"

"Have used first arboriculture on many occasions. Always very pleased with the companies reliability. Technical ability and speed of working. Good value for money with a great can do attitude."

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 directory

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.
