10 Incredible value, would highly recommend.
Posted 3 days ago
James was incredibly efficient, professional, and responsive. He was in touch quickly following my initial enquiry, came to visit to quote (he didn't only ask for photos) which meant he could make a much needed suggestion that I hadn't considered, and left my garden so tidy after the job was complete, in spite of how sodden the ground is at the moment due to the wet weather. Incredible value for money and I would most definitely hire his service again, and cannot recommend him more highly.Verified reviewerJob location: GU27 - CChris P

Job location: GU10James was very approachable and knowledgeable, providing clear advice and carried out the work to a very high standard. They are not just tree surgeons but really give the impression that they love trees and what they do. The work was carried out over winter and was re-scheduled twice, but James contacted us promptly when the weather conditions were apparent and offered a suitable alternative date. 10 The best tree surgeons!
