10 Highly Recommended
Posted 13 January
We have a willow tree that was in real need of a trim. Craig responded to the job really quickly. I explained over the phone initially what was needed and he booked to come a view the tree. We discussed an acceptable price and booked him in. The tree was trimmed today and I am really happy with the way the tree now looks. Craig and his sister worked hard and left the garden and driveway really tidy. Highly recommended and we will book his services again when the trees need work.Verified reviewerJob location: SA10Response from A1 Tree Services

Craig and his team did a great job. They cut down 18 conifers and left the area clean and tidy. Craig came and gave us a very reasonable quote. He is very friendly and approachable.

10 Highly recommend
Posted 12 September 2025
We used A1 Tree services to cut down 5 coniferous trees. They showed up when they said they would, worked tirelessly (even in the pouring rain), and did a fantastic job. We can't recommend them highly enough. Craig, Danny, and Katrina were all amazing and very hard working.Verified reviewerJob location: CF5
