Highlights
“I phoned 3 different tree cutters for a quote who all came to look at the job. We went with Dai at Special Branch because he could slot us in his diary (others were talking about 4-6 weeks ahead), he was local and he just seemed very genuine. You couldn't see the end of the garden because of all the trees but these guys did an absolutely brilliant job of cutting down and clearing the area and I would highly recommend. He did a wonderful job and my mum was very pleased. If she's happy, then I know these guys did great work!”
“Happy with the work done and the advice given. Both men worked well together. Checked my wished and continued through the rain.”

Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself
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 directoryPublic-liability cover for tree work is commonly £2–5m. Anything much lower is worth questioning on a big job.
Check they carry public-liability insurance 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.
