Highlights

"They carried out the work on the appointed day, within the time frame promised and in a friendly and courteous manner. They chipped and logged as agreed, placing both on site where requested and raked and swept up before leaving. Could not have asked for a better service. Will use again and will recommend."

"All manner of tree works carried out. Professional approach and advice and kept well informed of progress. Turned up as agreed and did not cancel or over run. All documentation provided before hand as requested. Tidied up well after the work."

"Very professional. My walnut tree has been reduced in size and now has a better shape for next years growth. All branches were taken away and chipped. Will be using these guys again, good quality and work at a fair price."

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.
