Mike was punctual, when he first visited in late June: he emailed me, as requested, with his quote and he arrived, at the stipulated time, on 7th September, with his team - Gavin and Gary. They were all very friendly, polite and professional and they did a great job on my Horse Chestnut, Bay and a difficult, large Holly - requiring a much needed haircut, along with the roof of a greenhouse to consider too! They even (as I had earlier requested) went to each of my neighbouring gardens, to tidy those trees which were overhanging from my side. Those neighbours too, were very pleased with the outcome! I had visits from two other Tree surgeons, in June but I had to contact them as they hadn’t arrived on the appointed day. Their quotes differed, from being much more expensive, to just a little more - and they didn’t email me! I was very impressed and I shall not hesitate in using Mike, at Acer Tree Services, again. Thank you very much!

Michael & the team at Acer Tree Services were outstanding. Michael came & reviewed my needs, made good recommendations and offered me his professional advice on the approach to take which I really valued. He could have just done what I asked, but he wanted to understand what I was trying to achieve & offered his best advice. The price was very competitive and I was more than happy to book straight away - but be warned, they are popular and very busy, so I did have to wait 6 weeks (that's the problem with being good!). I chose to follow his recommendation & the Acer team arrived today & I couldn't be happier with the result. They carried out their work with smooth efficiency. I had 4 trees to remove, one of which was very large & overgrown & I was concerned there may be damage to the existing garden/ fence etc. I needn't have worried, it was taken down piece by piece & the garden looks amazing. Aside from tidying their own waste, they cleaned away other garden debris along the way! I would highly recommend the team and if I have any future need, I know who to call. Excellent.

He took care to ensure that the tree still looked a good shape even though he was only trimming one side of the tree which overhung my garden.

Needed three large trees felling and the stumps ground. Michael and his team did a great job at a competitive price. The trees were very close to the house and other buildings with restricted access so quite tricky. All work done with minimum fuss and mess and really pleased with the result. While they were here we also had a fourth tree trimmed and once again very happy with the result. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will be using them again when we need some more tree works done.

He listened to my requirements and carried out the job exactly as I'd hoped. The clean up was great and I really appreciated that Michael walked me round to check I was happy with everything BEFORE the clean up was finished to check that everything was okay (it was!). I'm looking forward to using Acer again next year to keep my hedges looking good and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Michael and his team came to remove two trees and prune a third. I was very impressed, not only by how hard they worked, completing all the work in a few hours, but also by the clearing up. They did such a good job of clearing up that the garden looked much tidier after they left than before they came, having removed the remains of autumn leaves, bits of tree that had come down in recent winds and even moss from the lawn. The road, which is where they did the shredding, was similarly cleaned to a high standard so that there was no indication that they had been. We were really pleased with the work and cannot recommend them highly enough.

The work involved rear hedge cutting at high level, tree pruning and shaping, also at high level, together with branch and ivy removal to improve the appearance of two tall fir trees. All the work was done efficiently and to time and within the price quoted. The contractor was knowledgeable and took time to ensure that cutting was controlled to enhance the visual appearance of his work, checking back with us at intervals. All the cuttings were removed from the site which was left in a fully tidy condition. This was a second phase of work, following a similar exercise relating to the front hedge two months earlier and which was undertaken with the same skill and efficiency. In total about 2.5 days work.
