> "Finlay came to tidy the garden up. He did a fantastic job as we had a lot of over hanging trees and the lawn was extremely overgrown. He left the garden looking stunning and very tidy. Finlay worked really hard and he got the job done a lot quicker than anticipated. He even did things that we didn't ask him to do just to make things look better. We were so pleased with the job and will definitely have him back. We've even recommended him to family and friends."

## 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.
