10 Our large tree in our small garden needed pruning back.
Posted 4 days ago
Sean and his team are very thorough, dealing with permission from the Council and explaining everything beforehand and on the day. They were very tidy and protected everything when some of the prunings had to be taken through our mid-terraced house. An excellent job!Verified reviewerJob location: N199.33 Pruning and felling
Posted 09 June
I needed one tree felling and one pruning. A crack team of six people turned up first thing in the morning and finished by lunchtime. They did the job perfectly, including finding out exactly what I and my neighbour wanted for the tree that needed cutting back. They did a great job at clearing up and took care when carrying everything back through the house.Verified reviewerJob location: N1510 Overgrown baytree surgery!

The team were excellent, I had been avoiding dealing with my overgrown baytree for a few years but had I known how straightforward it would be I woukd have sorted it yonks ago. Getting a quote and communication was straightforward, and the team thag cut back the tree were knowledgeable polite and efficient. They brought the branches carefully through my flat and chipped them on the street taking away all the mess. Very happy with their work. Thankyou!Verified reviewerJob location: E1710 Tree Pruning

The two guys arrived bang on time. All the prep was discussed and executed clearly and smoothly and while they worked they were as unobtrusive as two guys with chainsaws can be. I'm no expert but they seemd to work pretty fast too. All clearing up done comprehensively.Verified reviewerJob location: N79.33 3m taken off a large Ah tree and pruning to smoke bush. Front and back of property.
Posted 05 February
The work was booked back in November for February to avoid bird nesting season. The guys were on time and carried out the work successfully and cleared up after themselves. We had to arrange access with neighbours to remove a fence panel so that the debris was not carried through the house. On the whole good communication, registration numbers were provided the day before so that parking permits could be organised - they were friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: N2210 Tree reduction

I used Forbes 3 years ago and they were excellent, so I had no hesitation in using them again. They were equally good this time and did some additional work reducing the height of hedges.Verified reviewerJob location: N1
