Fantastic service, we had thought that with the weather they wouldnt be able to proceed but it didnt appear to matter. Friendly and professional, at a reasonable price. Removed a troublesome, large tree and cleaned everything up afterwards, its made such a difference to the garden! Really pleased with the service. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant job came out even though the weather conditions werent the best. We went out and came back and you wouldnt have known that two large trees had been removed. All waste and mess gone and it transformed our garden.

Excellent service, there was a long wait for the work to be done due to having to wait for the electricity to be turned off by National Power Grid. Chris kept me updated via email and contacted the national power grid for us. Our 20ft hedge is now at a lovely 8ft and there was no mess left whatsoever! I would definitely recommend Chris and will be using him again in the future.
