Excellent Service
Very pleased with the speed and quality of the work provided by Nick and his team. One tree felled, reducing of several other trees and General garden maintenance. The team were punctual, efficient, very helpful and friendly. They cleared away and left the garden looking much tidier. The price was very competitive. I would happily recommend them.

Very Happy With Work
Hi All, Nick and his team came to do some work at my property - which involved everything from general tidying up of hedges (Neighbours' hedges coming onto my property) to cutting back and shaping hedges. The work was done very quickly and too a high standard. There was no damage to other plants, trees or fences around the affected areas. The team also cleared up very thoroughly and were generally very friendly. I would happily use Nick and team again. Thanks!

Excellent service
I thoroughly recommend Local Branch. Nick and his team are efficient, very neat and tidy, polite, considerate, knowledgeable and seem pretty decent value compared to other quotes we obtained. There’s nothing not to like!

Excellent service
Nick and team pruned 4 maple trees that had taken over my garden and blocking my neighbours’ light, reduced a massive holly hedge by about 2m, and cut down 3 dead/dying silver birch trees, all in the rain. My garden can breathe again and it looks so much better! A few years ago they took down an enormous beech tree that had been condemned as dangerous by the council - a tricky job because of the phone lines that were in the way. They were punctual, professional, polite, and cleared up after themselves well. Reasonably priced. I’m happy to recommend them.

Large Willow Tree Pollarding
Fantastic work, quick and very neat and tidy. I couldn't tell they'd been, except for a much tidier tree in the garden of course.

Trimmed two conifer trees forming a large hedge.
The work was neat and fast and they left the place tidy. The workers are courteous. The price is reasonable.

Efficient and friendly
Nick gave a very competitive quote for the job of removing an old hedge and cutting back a long row of overhanging trees. He and his staff turned up on time, did the job quickly and efficiently and were helpful throughout. I'll happily use him again.

Silver burch reduced
I chose the guys from Local Branch tree specialists because they replied to my initial contact quickly, turned up when they said to assess the job, gave a reasonable quote and booked the job in quickly. The work was completed beautifully. They removed all of the cut wood, which was chipped on site. They were cheerful and left everything tidy. I would use them again

Hedge trimming
Nick and his team did a first class job on our back garden hedge. They arrived on time with minimal fuss and cleared up all the hedge clippings. The cost was reasonable and matched the quotation. I would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Always reliable
Nick and his team have completed quite a few garden jobs for me. This time it was removing some bushes, stump grinding and hedge trimming. As usual they did a great job. Cleaned up beautifully and took away all the debris. Thanks.

A really excellent job
Nick and his team did a fantastic job trimming a number of trees in our front and back gardens. Two of them very large and tricky to negotiate. Clean and tidy work by a friendly and very professional team. We are really pleased and will use Nick again. All done within time, as per we had agreed and all cleaned up brilliantly afterwards. Highly recommended. Many thanks ++++++

Great work reducing a protected tree
I contacted Local Branch to carry out a reduction on a TPO-protected tree in my mothers front garden. Nick was fantastic; talking us through our options and dealing with the application to the council. He and his team were also fast, effective and professional in carrying out the work itself. The reduction has dramatically improved the shape of the tree, made the house lighter and will hopefully help slow down root damage.

Great customer service
Second time I have used Local Branch (Nick Kelly) and I was very happy with the work carried out on a tree in my front garden. The quote was competitive and they fitted me in promptly. Staff employed are very courteous and pleasant and they did an excellent job, cleaning up after them. Will use again.

Great work, would use again
We used Nick to chop down a diseased tree, grind out the stump and clear away some unwanted logs/shrubs from the garden. Nick was fantastic and managed to get the tree down and stump out without causing any damage to the neighbour's fence (the tree is right on the boundary). Very friendly, polite and tidy at a fair market price for his services. Would absolutely recommend and will use again for other similar work.

Small tree pruning
This is the second time we have had Local Branch come to trim back our small sweet gum tree. On both occasions we have been very pleased with their work, the shape of the pruned tree and the tidiness after they have cleared up. Would recommend.

Tree pruning
Local Branch have done several jobs for us reliably and well. They always tidy up when finished and leave the garden neat. This job was the regular winter pruning of our Bramley apple tree.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
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.
