Highlights
“30% crown reduction and all round shaping to our ornamental pear tree. I emailed Terry a few photos late on a Friday, he emailed to say he’d take a look on Monday and provided his quote the same day. I waited for a few other quotes and Terry’s was the best for what we wanted done. They came the following Thursday at 9am and were done by 10:30am giving us plenty of notice and all his team were polite and courteous of our and our neighbours’ properties so much so one of our neighbours made them all hot drinks! A really professional and friendly service and we would highly recommend them!”
“We have utilised Terry and the team a couple of times...a great professional and efficient service! They arrive promptly, they are very organised, the guys are polite and courteous, work really hard and do a great job of tidying up. Terry is very easy to deal with and very professional. It's an A all the way...cheers Terry and Team!”

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
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.
