> "After many years of neglect by the previous land owner we decided to have our trees dead branches removed and reducing back branches overhanging our property in accordance to the planning application. It was an impressive sight to watch Steve working his way down each tree removing the dead branches and cutting back the required limbs. When safe Josh busied himself clearing the lawn and shredding the considerable number of dead branches. Once all the work was completed they spent time clearing up the garden. Both are very professional and were happy to answer questions."

## Before you hire a tree surgeon / arborist
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Check 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.
- Prefer a tree surgeon approved by the Arboricultural Association, and check with your local council's tree officer before working on any protected tree or one in a conservation area.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
