A huge tree needed taking down and was rotten in the middle. The five lads turned up on time both days even when it was lashing rain and worked extremely hard. At the end of it all they cleared up so well and nothing was too much trouble. They even moved pots and a greenhouse beforehand to save damage from the tree and put them back in Place afterwards. They were cheerful and professional and i have no hesitation in recommending this excellent company." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "A superb company. Arrived on time.

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. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. ## Contact - Phone: 07862 138698 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/southern-tree-specialists Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
