Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

These are the individual reviews we hold for 1st Call Trees Ltd, including the highlights above. The 254 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
The team from 1st Call Trees were excellent from start to finish when taking cutting down our tree and stump grinding. They were polite, professional, and worked with great care, particularly around the overhead telephone wires as branches were passed safely through. They used protective matting on the grass for heavy machinery and left the site clean and tidy at the end of the work. Special thanks to John for quoting the job to Jono, Eddy, Ed, and Peter for their hard work and attention to detail, a very impressive team.
The team were great, punctual, super communications and finished the job early to a high standard. Cleaned up the debris and left the garden as tidy as possible as well which was much appreciated
I was very impressed throughout the whole process with 1st Call. They were very professional from start to finish and kept me informed at each stage. When on site, the team were conscientious, meticulous and courteous and respectful of my garden space. Would not hesitate to recommend 1st Call.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
