    Tree/hedge maintainance and grass cutting

    Posted 3 days ago

    Allan and his team are great and I cannot fault their services. Quality is good, very flexible and accommodating to last minute changes. They also left my garden clean and took all the waste with them which was much appreciated. I am repeat customer and would recommend them to anyone.

    Alan from the start was incredibly polite and knowledgeable. He communicated superbly and was more than happy to take on board my opinion. Incredibly friendly and reliable service.

    Removal of a large tree in residential garden

    Posted 26 July 2024

    Did a really great job of the tree removal itself- it was a pretty large tree in a fairly small garden so not an easy job. They did it within just a few hours, and were polite and friendly. The tree removal itself has been done well. During the job, our neighbours fence was broken by a falling piece of tree - not ideal, but the team did replace the broken fence promptly. The only negative I have to say is the mess that was less afterwards. In our other neighbours garden - large wood pieces, tons of saw dust - has put us in an awkward position, and we had to go offer to clean it up ourselves

    Removal of trees from the garden

    Posted 17 April 2024

    Allan and his team were both friendly and professional. We are very pleased to have chosen him to remove the trees from our garden and grind down the stumps below ground level. I would recommend FTS without hesitation

    Highly recommend Alan, he’s done such a great job removing such a large tree in our garden. He also came back once the gardener had been to cut more away that was hidden. Polite and very proffesional highly recommend.
