Highlights
“Great service and advice. Fair price and left the garden tidy after the work. Replaced a few battered fence panels and posts with a much sturdier fence and cut back a couple of trees. Guys were polite and did a great job. During the quote process I asked for advice on cutting back / down a couple of other trees, basically giving Robbie a few opportunities to charge me even more, but he was honest and said they'd be fine. I'll be calling him back in to fix the next fence that inevitably falls over!”
“Excellent job done ! Robert turned up when he said he would , accommodated the changes I wanted to make, tidied up like he said he would … him and his mate took everything away -there was nothing for me to do . He was respectful to our neighbour and removed anything that had fallen into his garden. -great communication throughout - would highly recommend.”
“Robbie was extremely helpful, from initial phone enquiry to completed work. He trimmed a medium mixed hedge in the back garden, pruned various shrubs in both the front and back gardens. He also removed a troublesome tree that had intertwined with another. Robbie was very professional never stopped working from arrival till job completion.”
