Highlights
“Jody and his company gave a quick clear estimate. He was lovely and helpful during this process. When I accepted the quote he quickly set a date to come and do the work. He cut down and chipped a number of trees and ground out the stumps. It was done quickly and with a smile. The lads cleared up neatly after the work. I was very impressed”
“Highly recommend Woodlands Tree Surgery. Jody was really helpful with explaining what needed doing during quotation and prices were very reasonable. He and Jason were professional, clean and tidy and did a really good job with three of our trees.”
“Jody and his colleague were very skilled in cutting a troublesome thorny hedge. They tidied away all of the cuttings leaving the garden looking neat and tidy. They were careful to avoid damaging the other plants in the garden. Jody was punctual with both his quote and the job. It was reasonably priced and certainly saved me lots of work.”

From survey to quotation and then the works I have experienced a competent and professional approach. The quotation was fair, and arrived promptly. The works were completed as agreed. The workers were professional in their actions. I shall be using this company again.

We engaged Woodlands Tree Surgery (for the second time) to trim the top of our high, beech hedge, and tidy up our lower hawthorn hedge on the other side of the garden. Jody and his colleague arrived promptly, took great care to ensure they carried out our exact wishes for the work, and tidied up the area quickly, and efficiently - all for a very reasonable fee. We would be happy to engage them again.

Verified by CheckatradeCutting back Leylandii trees at back of garden and squaring off
Both guys were fantastic, kept me well informed with what they thought was best for the job and were very accepting of chatting through how we wanted the finished tree height to be, in order to maintain some privacy / being overlooked. Really appreciate it, would absolutely recommend.

I'd thoroughly recommend employing Jody. He is well presented, polite, friendly and knowledgable. Out of three quotes I obtained, Jody's was the best by a long way. He pruned an old pear tree that was well overgrown and corrected the mistakes made when I'd had four other trees pruned last year. His colleague removed the cuttings and tidied up so my garden and driveway where left tidy. I will definitely use Jody again.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
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.
