Highlights
"We have used Sam and his team before. The trees in our garden had grown to an extent where the sunlight was blocked and we had concerns about our feature weeping willow. We had no hesitation in asking for his services which, as always, were provided with the minimum of fuss. The team were punctual, worked quickly and left everything tidy. Could not fault them at all."
"The three men did an excellent job - far better than I thought possible. The were efficient, professional and kind. They pruned and shaped a huge sycamore tree, pruned and shaped a large Magnolia, felled 17m of Leyland hedging and removed the roots."
"We needed to have a large tree cut down and removed, as well as numerous other bushes trimmed back. The company did the planning application and provided accurate quotes for the work, which took 2 days. Sam and his team were all punctual and courteous; they were very efficient and left the area very clean and tidy. I would highly recommend them."

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check — a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 5 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

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 directoryCheck 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.
