Highlights
“Allan came round gave me a very reasonable quote and started work immediately. Both him and his colleague worked so hard, cutting back the trees identified and made an excellent job of cleaning up. They even went that extra mile chopped another couple of bits down (after asking me) and cleaning up the thousands of leaves on my driveway dumped there by the oak trees lining the road. They were both so pleasant, hard working and reasonably priced would 100% use them again and recommend them to anyone else.”
“Very professional from start to finish. The guys tidied the garden at the end of each day, did exactly what was required and I could not fault their work or attitude. i would recommend this company to anyone.”
“excellent service, Daniel and Jacks very quickly cut back the overhanging trees leaving the trees along the fence line very even. They also left the garden spotless after the work was completed.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
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.
