Highlights

"Absolutely tremendous service from start to finish… would highly recommend. The team were out this morning to take down a big old cherry tree in my front garden and they did so with ease, professionalism, and most importantly for me, with safety at mind. Super efficient and you wouldn’t even know they had been here, cleaning before leaving. All round great service."

"We were impressed with HLTree Services, from start to finish. The initial contact and follow up via email was unfailingly prompt and courteous. Harry came promptly to see the intended task, work out the logistics, and gave us a quote immediately, with a date when the work would be done. The actual work was done most skilfully, and as unobtrusively as possible. Harry and his team worked with a really good energy, checking details with us as they worked, and also took great pains to tidy everything up afterwards. They were a very pleasant team to have working for us!"

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.
