Local Branch Tree Specialists

Very pleased with the speed and quality of the work provided by Nick and his team. One tree felled, reducing of several other trees and General garden maintenance. The team were punctual, efficient, very helpful and friendly. They cleared away and left the garden looking much tidier. The price was very competitive. I would happily recommend them.

Hi All, Nick and his team came to do some work at my property - which involved everything from general tidying up of hedges (Neighbours' hedges coming onto my property) to cutting back and shaping hedges. The work was done very quickly and too a high standard. There was no damage to other plants, trees or fences around the affected areas. The team also cleared up very thoroughly and were generally very friendly. I would happily use Nick and team again. Thanks!

So happy with the previous job I immediately asked them to do another. Once again, a brilliant job, quick and very tidy.

I thoroughly recommend Local Branch. Nick and his team are efficient, very neat and tidy, polite, considerate, knowledgeable and seem pretty decent value compared to other quotes we obtained. There’s nothing not to like!

Nick and team pruned 4 maple trees that had taken over my garden and blocking my neighbours’ light, reduced a massive holly hedge by about 2m, and cut down 3 dead/dying silver birch trees, all in the rain. My garden can breathe again and it looks so much better! A few years ago they took down an enormous beech tree that had been condemned as dangerous by the council - a tricky job because of the phone lines that were in the way. They were punctual, professional, polite, and cleared up after themselves well. Reasonably priced. I’m happy to recommend them.

Nick gave a very competitive quote for the job of removing an old hedge and cutting back a long row of overhanging trees. He and his staff turned up on time, did the job quickly and efficiently and were helpful throughout. I'll happily use him again.

The work was neat and fast and they left the place tidy. The workers are courteous. The price is reasonable.

Fantastic work, quick and very neat and tidy. I couldn't tell they'd been, except for a much tidier tree in the garden of course.

I chose the guys from Local Branch tree specialists because they replied to my initial contact quickly, turned up when they said to assess the job, gave a reasonable quote and booked the job in quickly. The work was completed beautifully. They removed all of the cut wood, which was chipped on site. They were cheerful and left everything tidy. I would use them again

Nick and his team did a first class job on our back garden hedge. They arrived on time with minimal fuss and cleared up all the hedge clippings. The cost was reasonable and matched the quotation. I would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Nick and his team have completed quite a few garden jobs for me. This time it was removing some bushes, stump grinding and hedge trimming. As usual they did a great job. Cleaned up beautifully and took away all the debris. Thanks.

Nick and his team were polite and very efficient, arriving on time and doing the job super quickly. They left the site tidy and work carried out as promised. We also thought their quote was competitive.

Nick and his team did a fantastic job trimming a number of trees in our front and back gardens. Two of them very large and tricky to negotiate. Clean and tidy work by a friendly and very professional team. We are really pleased and will use Nick again. All done within time, as per we had agreed and all cleaned up brilliantly afterwards. Highly recommended. Many thanks ++++++

We used Nick to chop down a diseased tree, grind out the stump and clear away some unwanted logs/shrubs from the garden. Nick was fantastic and managed to get the tree down and stump out without causing any damage to the neighbour's fence (the tree is right on the boundary). Very friendly, polite and tidy at a fair market price for his services. Would absolutely recommend and will use again for other similar work.

Second time I have used Local Branch (Nick Kelly) and I was very happy with the work carried out on a tree in my front garden. The quote was competitive and they fitted me in promptly. Staff employed are very courteous and pleasant and they did an excellent job, cleaning up after them. Will use again.

I contacted Local Branch to carry out a reduction on a TPO-protected tree in my mothers front garden. Nick was fantastic; talking us through our options and dealing with the application to the council. He and his team were also fast, effective and professional in carrying out the work itself. The reduction has dramatically improved the shape of the tree, made the house lighter and will hopefully help slow down root damage.

Really happy with the service I received from Nick and his team, arrived on time, very polite and helpful, did exactly what was asked in a very efficient and timely manner, and cleaned up afterwards. Reasonably priced and exactly as quoted. Highly recommended.

This is the second time we have had Local Branch come to trim back our small sweet gum tree. On both occasions we have been very pleased with their work, the shape of the pruned tree and the tidiness after they have cleared up. Would recommend.

Local Branch have done several jobs for us reliably and well. They always tidy up when finished and leave the garden neat. This job was the regular winter pruning of our Bramley apple tree.

Fantastic job, polite and friendly team. Great job of trimming our tree’s, Even cleared the branches that had fallen into our neighbours garden! Garden was spotless when they left. Great price too!

The team from Local Branch arrived on time and confirmed the work to be undertaken. Trees that needed re-shaping were cut back carefully and the team was considerate in thinning out excess growth. The garden was left in a tidy state and the work was done expertly and efficiently.

Nick and his team have carried out the removal of trees, stumps, trimming trees and planting trees at our property twice in 2020. The price the quoted for each job was reasonable and realistic. So many tradesman over or under quote so it was refreshing to receive accurate quotes for both jobs. They arrived on time and carried out the work in a very prompt and professional manner leaving all areas clean and tidy and removing all debris. Would highly recommend.

The work required was modest - pruning two trees. But we live in a tree conservation area, so it required advanced approval from the council. We were very impressed by the service from Local Branch Tree. They were scrupulous in abiding by the regulations and making sure we had the necessary permission, including offering to help with applying for it. They complied fully with the quotation they gave us - no attempts to suggest extra work was needed, the quotations themselves were also reasonable and the work was carried out quickly, professionally, with a minimum of disturbance and everything left neat and tidy afterwards. Would happily use them again.

Nick and his team quoted a competitive price which we accepted immediately. They understood what we wanted to achieve and they came to do the work soon after we accepted the quote. They did a superb job and worked quickly, neatly and expertly. We were very impressed with their experience, skills and professionalism. We will definitely employ the skills of this company again without hesitation if we need any other tree surgery work. We would highly recommend them to friends, family and everyone.

Highly recommend Nick & the team at Local Branch. They came and quickly worked to remove a tree which has started to affect my driveway. Within the same service they did a total clear of all the shrubs and other plants leaving the verge clear to re plant in the spring. Excellent service and remained Covid safe in all dealings!

On time. Very pleasant and friendly manner from all who came. Carried out a small extra job without complaint. Tidied up well after work completed. Have been using Local Branch happily now for a number of years.

Been using LB for many years. One of few we trust. Excellent rounded foliage profiles. Tidy. Efficient. Pre and post job communication perfect (on site, booking, easy invoicing). Set up area and Health&Safety protocols excellent. Technical approach and teamwork good. Enthusiastic. Love their arboriculture and have a genuine interest in wood even in their spare time. Tree work is performed with enthusiasm and care. Will not over-hack. Proper tools/ladders, even quiet battery tools for one or two jobs (useful if neighbours working from home).

Nick and his team did a great job. They removed a large hedge of leylandii and left the site tidy. They did the job on the day agreed

We had a hedge removed, an old tree stump removed (about 3ft tall) and general hedge trimming. Local Branch arrived on time and on the date agreed and the employees were friendly and helpful. The estimated price for the work seemed fair and that is what we paid. We did not get quotes as we have used Local Branch over a number of years as they were recommended to us by a neighbour. Since then we have recommended them to other neighbours as we have always found them to be very reliable and have used their services quite a few times now. We would still be happy to recommend them.

Trimming top and front faces of 30 m length of Leylandii and subsequent waste removal. Nick Kelly made an initial visit assessment on 15.10.20 with his quotation supplied a few days later. Nick agreed to fit me in between other larger projects. Received phone message from Nick on 30.10.20 asking if it was possible to come that afternoon to do the work, which two of his men did. The work was undertaken quickly and efficiently and all waste removed. Communication via phone, SMS and eMail throughout the process was very effective. I would use the Company on future occasions.

This is the second piece of work Nick and his team have carried out for us at home. Both pieces of work are pretty significant and required expertise to carry out effectively. Nick is obviously an expert in his field, works hard, arrives and finishes on time and you can have a laugh with him as well if you so wish.

Nick and his team did a great job. They still managed to fit in my job despite one of the team getting sick. Grinded out the stump of the rotten tree and lifted the crown on my large beech tree. Managed to do the job and clear away the debris without any damage to the surrounding overgrown shrubs! Would certainly use them again.

Nick and his team removed trees from our site. They kept to schedule and budget and were all courteous and professional. The site was cleared quickly and without disruption to everyday traffic. Great job!

Nick and his team of 5 tree surgeons were with me for a full day. They were all extremely professional, and the communication was great from start to finish. The tree work was not for the faint hearted, but they handled it with ease and cheerfulness. They tidied up the garden beautifully before they left, and the work done was excellent. In particular they did a crown raise and cut back the branches of a very old tall overgrown chestnut tree by several metres. I was very happy with the work and would definitively use them again.

Efficient administration with visit and quote within the week. Job then done within a fortnight. Quick, efficient, clean and sensibly priced. I was very pleased.

Very pleased with service, on time and on budget. Good advice and 2 trees felled and wasted taken - left everything very tidy. Recommend highly.

Nick and his team did a wonderful job felling a dead Silver Birch. They arrived on time, were very efficient and left everything neat and tidy. We would not hesitate to recommend Local Branch to anybody who may be interested.

Nick and his team worked tirelessly over 3 days on what was a substantial job to remove 18 rather large conifers and grind out the stumps. They arrived prompt each morning and were very courteous ensuring that everything was left tidy at the end of each day. I would have no hesitation in recommending Local Branch to others

Nick and his team were brilliant. He came on the day we first called to provide a quote and then completed the work within two weeks to a very high standard and were very friendly and hard working. I will definitely be using them again in the future.

Cleared my very overgrown garden as requested and took away all the rubbish! Nick and his team were very polite and efficient and left the site spotless. The price was very good for the amount for the amount of work done! Thank you!

Local Branch Tree Specialists did an excellent job of removing ivy from a 30 feet high tree that had been completely covered over a period of many years. The work was completed on the agreed day at the agreed price. The 3 people who undertook the project were polite, tidy and efficient throughout. We have a number of other trees in or around our property and would have no hesitation in using them again. I would certainly recommend this company to others requiring tree surgery of any type.

Nick and his guys were extremely friendly and professional. We had a very large oak and silver birch cut back. They took great care to make sure no branches fell where they shouldn’t and tidied up all the sawdust. Would definitely recommend and use again. Very happy with the work carried out.

Great job all round - removed overgrown leylandii & Bay trees, ground down stumps and repaired a fence for me. Friendly, hard working staff - would definitely recommend

Nick and team felled 2 large sweet chestnuts at front of property. Very pleasant experience and no issues, they were careful not to damage lawn, left the property tidy and all work carried out as planned and on time. Very competitive on price too.

I have had numerous jobs done by Local Branch Tree Specialists over the last 4 years or so, both big and small. It is a first class firm. Professional, reliable, and very reasonable rates. They always tidy up well, arrive on time and clearly know what they are doing. The owner of the company is the son of a friend of mine but this is an unbiased and honest review.

All happy with the work that's been done at our house. We had 3 very tall trees taken down and ground out. This was a major job and all done and cleared away within the day. Happy customer

Really good, efficient and helpful. A pleasure from start to finish, and they definitely know their stuff. I'd certainly recommend Local Branch

Nick & his team removed 3 large trees & also cut back several very large Oak trees that had TPO's on them. Nick applied for permission to work on the trees with TPO's including meeting the tree officer on our behalf. All the guys were hard working, friendly & polite. We have already recommended to neighbors who have also used Nick. Will be in touch with any future works.

We employed Local Branch Tree Specialist to remove and stump grind a leylandii hedge and remove some branches from a beech tree. The work was done on schedule and budget by the very friendly team. All debris was cleared and the garden was left tidy. We would use them again.

When we moved to our house 10 years ago the garden had had years of neglect, with huge dead trees, dense tree over population, ugly leylandii hedges, and a lot of work was needed. New to the area we tried different tree surgeons with varying success. When Nick came for the first time we decided to only use him going forward. He quotes when he says he will, his quotes are reasonable, the quality of work is excellent, the team ensure they don't damage surrounding plants and clear up well after themselves. He gives good advice about health and maintenance of mature trees, and the council tree officers have always agreed with his opinion. The team don't leave the garden strewn with junk food wrappers (which other companies have) and they are polite and trustworthy, which is what you want if you are leaving people to work in your garden. I have recommended him to friends who have all been delighted. Although the bulk of our remedial tree work is now done, Nick still comes back regularly to maintain our high hedges and look after the trees, and we have worked with him now for 8 years. My husband suggested I add that the team remained professional & didn't laugh when I asked them to sculpt an old oak into a life sized version of Disney Moana at the back of the garden to please my daughter! Highly recommend!

Nick Kelly and his courteous team members arrived on time. They worked continuously and expertly; taking care to effect as little damage as possible to my lawn and nearby plants. My Gazebo was directly under the tree to be felled but thanks to the care taken it suffered no damage at all. The Local Branch Tree Specialists team cleared away all of the timber and sawdust at the end of the project, as agreed in the quotation. The tree felled was estimated to be over 200 years old.

Left a message and got a return phone call within the hour. Made and kept an appointment to discuss cutting hedge. Price agreed. Work carried out on the day given. All hedge cuttings removed. Lovely tidy hedge. Invoice and payment easy and quick. Would recommend highly.

I have used Nick and Local Branch for around 10 years. The work has involved felling large trees, lopping and general tree maintenance. Also he tidies up after the work. Not only do I trust Nick but he also manages to employ pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Since using Local Branch a number of my neighbours now regularly use the firm.

We have been using Local Branch Tree Specialists for several years. They are reliable, tidy and good at their job. Also their fees are reasonable. Would recommend them without hesitation.

Nick Kelly of Local Branch has done the tree management work for us for several years. His work, which has included dealing with older cedar trees which were splitting. This time was dealing with an ash which was seriously dying back. The work was, as usual, of excellent quality and, as indicated in the review title above, he's always reliable and is a pleasure to deal with.

I used Local Branch to remove a dead tree, to prune two old oak trees and source and plant a large tree to replace the one I lost. I was extremely happy with the service I received. Despite the tree removal being a much more difficult job than anticipated, I was invoiced according to the quote. They turned up when they said and were polite and courteous and kept me informed of progress. I can only highly recommend Local Branch.

Nick was on site within 48 hrs of calling to us to give a quote. He was very knowledgeable and had 5 star reviews so we booked a date to carry out the work. They arrived on time as planned and reshaped some trees and pollarded another. They didn't rush in and out but did a professional job and cleaned up as if they had never been here. I would highly recommend them.

Nick came and quoted to reduce some very large trees in my garden. From the offset he came across professional and got back to me promptly. Nick and his team completed the work last week and we couldn't be more happy with the work. Considering how problematic it was to remove the foliage and the amount there was I was surprised at how quickly the team worked and you would be hard pushed to see any evidence of it come the end of the day! They went the extra mile to finish the job properly I I would fully recommend.

Asked for a quote yesterday for the removal of a 30’ leylandii. The team arrived this morning, removed the tree and all the foliage before cleaning up to a higher standard than they found the garden when they arrived. The team of three were friendly and very efficient
