Highlights
"We have had work done on our large oak with a TPO on before by Will and did not hesitate to call and request work be carried out Will dealt with the Council and even arranged for a survey to be done. The council would only allow dead branches to be taken out and would not consider crown reduction due to tree being in good health. The work was carried out with due care and attention and they made sure everything, garden ornaments, washing line etc. was moved so no harm would befall them by branches being removed. Everything was put back in place too. A great job well done."
"Will and his team were professional and completed the job in a very efficient manner. The garden was left clean and tidy. We are pleased with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again."
"Will has done a number of jobs for us in the past and this was the second time he took down an overgrown tree alongside our property and ground down the stump. The work is always done very efficiently and to a high standard with all the clearing up and removal of green waste afterwards. I would not hesitate in recommending Will for any tree work."

Smart checks
Before you hire a landscaper
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.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
