Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Official checkOn the public register
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.

Highlights
“I sent the company a message and got a very quick response from Steve. He sent me a very reasonable quote to remove a tree from my garden, including the stump, which I accepted. Work was carried out very quickly and professionally. The site was cleared, job done! Constant communication throughout. I cannot recommend Steve and his team highly enough. Look no further if this is the type of work you need doing, 10 out of 10 service.”
“Steve, Dave and Brian from S L Trees were recently contracted to remove a damaged sequoia for safety reasons. From signage ahead of the work informing locals of road closures, responsive email information at all times, communications have been great. Friendly team, happy to answer questions and have an audience whilst Dave was 70ft up the tree with a chain saw! Hugely professional and knowledgeable - we would have no hesitation in recommending them. 10/10 🙂”
“Steve and his team give a fantastic service. We recently used them to remove a huge wellington sequoia that had been damaged by lightning. It was a massive job yet they dealt with it methodically and carefully and - extra bonus - with smiles! A very professional team. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
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.
