    Tree size reduced

    Posted 09 January

    Jim submitted a very fair quote, which was a relief to my very tight budget. Having agreed a date for the job, he actually was able to fit it in a few days early. He discussed my preferences and answered my questions so I was able to leave him to carry on. I returned to find my two out-of-control trees reduced to very pretty rounded shapes which are now in proportion with the garden size. Would heartily recommend.

    We asked he visit identify trees to form a management plan. He was great calling round as soon as he could. He did a great job with free advice. We are so much happier. We will be calling him back in the autumn to trim the trees.
