10 Removal of a very large bay tree including stump
Posted 2 days ago
Wesley visited promptly to view the work we required. He then arranged for members of his team to come along to complete the work – which was removal of a very large established bay tree (over 50 years old ) as well grinding out the stump. All of the team were all very professional as well as friendly. The area where the work was carried out was left very tidy. We have used WGS on several occasions for other tree and shrub removal work and would highly recommend WGS Tree Services to anybody who wants a professional job done.Verified reviewerJob location: SO3010 Very large fir tree overhanging our garden, cut back to our boundary fence line.

Prompt service, protected our patio area well before proceeding, tree cut back very neatly, no more danger from oversized fir cones possibly hitting us or damaging our property. Great result.Verified reviewerJob location: SO19Response from WGS Tree Services

We’re a professional company with years of experience based in Hedge End, operating all around Hampshire and surrounding counties. Over time we have built up a great clientele supplying the best hard and softwood logs around.
We have a great customer base due to our friendly and trusted service. We always welcome new customers and are happy to share our knowledge on firewood and arboriculture.
When it comes to our Tree services it's refreshing that all of the team genuinely care for and very much enjoy working in the industry. We have regular ongoing custom domestically and commercially. We are also proud to do work for several local authorities.
I started logging at the age of 13 and decided to learn more about the Arboricultural industry. After securing various qualifications, I started a small tree team that has developed in experience and size over the years. Covering all aspects of tree care and tree maintenance.
The team are extremely friendly, hard-working and all with the relevant skilled qualifications. No job is too BIG or SMALL whether it is commercial or domestic, making sure we carry out all work to the British Standard 3998.
Giving the customer what they want is important to us from the initial phone call to the site visit. As long as both parties agree on professional work being undertaken in accordance to the laws.
We are insured up to 10 million public liability and 10 million employers liability which allows us to work in every eventuality. I only use the best climbers and groundsmen to carry out all work to the highest standard. Please don’t hesitate to read our testimonials from various satisfied customers.
Here at W.G.S. we take immense pride in the fact we leave all work sites very tidy and also recycle almost 100% of our waste. Including wood chippings, hardwood and softwood we even mill up timber for furniture. We cut and log up all our wood and allow all wood to air dry and season until at the right moisture content. We cater for all orders no matter how small or large.
