We had to get cut down 3 trees, work was done thoroughly, quick and clean. We are very happy with what was done and can recommend this company!
A 40 year old chestnut tree was felled and the stump was ground out, all done with great skill, speed, politeness and care for the rest of the garden. We strongly recommend Alex Bird and his staff.
Fast, efficient, good humoured and they clear up afterwards to a high standard

Worth checking yourself
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
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.
