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
“Toby and assistant arrived early which was a bonus. The offending tree was small but a nuisance so removal seemed the best option. The guys started work immediately and, in no time at all, it was down and shredded. If I had any more trees needing attention I would not hesitate to use Toby again.”
“Toby and Phil were friendly and courteous. They did a great job dealing with eight large trees that over the years had got out of control. Arrived early and just cracked on. Job done. All tidy when finished. Very happy with the work and would recommend them. I will definitely use Toby again when needed.”
“Toby, who is friendly and courteous, arrived punctually and worked quickly and efficiently. He cleared up carefully and left everything tidy. His costs were very reasonable. Would definitely recommend.”

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.
