Professional Job
Simon and his team came when promised to fell to ground level a dead acacia tree in our back garden and grind out the stump. They did the job professionally with all the right safety equipment, avoided damaging nearby trees and shrubs, removed the remains of the tree and left the garden very tidy. The amount on the invoice was at the mid-point of the price range set out in the estimate.

Really good work and efficient service (highly recommend)
We needed to have a tree removed because it was leaning heavily and we were concerned about safety. Simon Burnley provided a competitive quotation and undertook to liaise with the LB of Harrow as we are located in a Conservation Area. After permission was granted Simon booked a date and came earlier today. The work was done quickly, efficiently with no issues whatsoever.

Helpful and professional
I contacted them about some trees at our new property. He provided some good advice and a reasonable quote to trim them. He arrived punctually on the day to trim them and cut them all to a better size. Simon and his team are friendly and polite and a pleasure to have working in your property. They collected all mess and left everything clean and tidy. Thanks

A very good job
Simon and his team came recommended by our neighbours. They were punctual, very polite, and did an excellent job trimming our cedars and laurels. They tidied up very well. They also picked up on a sycamore that really needed to come down which we were monitoring but hadn’t made a decision about. We also felt the quote was reasonable.

Recent Tree surgery
I recently used Simon Burnley’s services as he had been recommended to me by a neighbour. From the first contact I had with Simon I found him to be very helpful, and friendly. Simon was very clear with what he would be doing and delivered on everything he said he would do. I am very pleased with the work he carried out removing two large trees, the site where the trees were was left very tidy, you wouldn’t know there had been any trees before. I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon and will definitely contact him again if I need work carried out on any other trees.

Holly Tree Pruned
Really pleased with the work Simon and the team did pruning my very overgrown holly tree. They were efficient and friendly and tidied up afterwards taking everything away at the end. Simon was really helpful, good communication (even responded to me at weekends and on a bank holiday). Work completed on the agreed day - they arrived on time and got the job done.

Happy customer
We used Burnley's Tree Services to have a couple of Silverbirches trimmed. Really impressed with the service provided straight from the start - Simon responded promptly to my email and provided honest advice, and a very reasonable price, in a friendly and professional manner. Him and his colleague (and dog!) arrived nice and early and did a fantastic job! I would not hesitate in recommending them.

Reliable, efficient, friendly
I've been using Simon for tree and hedge work for years and have always been pleased with what they've done. They turn up when they say, do the job quickly and efficiently, are always friendly and courteous and clear up thoroughly when they've finished. Highly recommended!

Removal of Large Fallen Yew Bough After Storm
We had two back to back storms in January which caused a very large bough on a yew tree in the Churchyard to fall precariously over gravestones and potentially act as a public hazard to visitors. Our immediate reaction was to ring Simon. We have used Simon regularly as our resident arborist as he is both very personable, knowledgeable and very reasonably priced. Simon sent two of his crew over the next morning and they cleared up the bough and associated branches very quickly, efficiently and without damage to any of the headstones in a very historic churchyard. We always look to Simon for any advice and subsequent work that needs doing and can’t recommend him highly enough.

great care for trees, tidied up perfectly
Our birches were trimmed really well and sympathetically, and look great. The team were friendly, appear to care for trees, took great care with the rest of the garden so nothing was damaged. The garden was left completely clean and tidy. Will certainly use again.

Good, careful work with a smile
We always use Burnley's Tree services for our tree work. They are reliable, careful, do a thorough job and are excellent at clearing up after themselves. They are also friendly and cheerful, nothing is too much trouble and I have recommended them to friends and neighbours who are also happy with their work.

Simon and his team came promptly as arranged and gave an acceptable quotation for the work. The advice was professional and expert. The work was carried out very efficiently and the team worked hard in difficult conditions with very good humour. We are delighted with the work and will not hesitate to ask Simon and his team back to carry out further work.

Within 5 minutes of Simon arriving I knew that he was the contractor I wanted to use. I was pleasantly surprised by the quote I received. Simon and team did not disappoint. Their work was fantastic and they left my garden spotless. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

A Real Professional
Simon has an excellent knowledge of trees and how to manage them. He and his team reduced the height and spread of an acacia and a Portuguese laurel, both of which were as tall as the house. They also removed a mass of ivy that was choking the trees. The team cleaned up brilliantly and took away every twig and leaf that needed to be cleared. Simon also has a good system for sending a quote and invoicing for the work. Sadly, Simon is let down by his bank. I tried to pay by bank transfer, but it turned out that Simon’s bank, is not part of the scheme that allows payees to check that the account people are about to pay into is the one intended. Rather than risk paying into a wrong account, I paid by cheque. However, taking the customer service and the quality of the work as a whole, I still think that Simon deserves 5 stars.

Pruning two overgrown Pyracanta on both sides of the fence.
I have used Simon Burnley's Services previously and recommended him then. This second time has been just as satisfactory as the first time although the schedule suffered some delays. But communications with Simon were maintained throughout via email and WhatsApp. Simon and his team were very helpful, did all that was asked in record time and shredded all pruning's on site, leaving it tidy. It was all done to the agreed budget.

Great work
Simon arrived as scheduled both to quote and then carry out the work on various trees on our property. He is professional and polite and clearly knows what he is talking about. The work was carried out efficiently, as agreed and on budget per the quote. The entire team were friendly and helpful whilst on site. Would not hesitate to recommend and use again if required.

Excellent Service, professional team
Thank you Simon & your team for carrying out our tree work at my house for the past 3 days. The guys explained exactly what they needed to do, very professional working around a phone line & garage roof. They carried out a very difficult tree removal for us with no fuss or stress. I can honestly say that they are the best team that we have ever had. Will definitely be recommending. Thanks guys James

Fantastic survice
I contacted Simon and his team to remove a only hedge and replace with a new one. Simon was very quick to come out with a quote at a good price. He and his team were punctual and made short work of the hedge and replacing it with the new one. They left the garden clean and tidy and did a great job. Would certainly use them again and would recommend them highly

Prompt, efficient, courteous and friendly
Every autumn I have Simon and his team come to trim a Leylandii hedge and tidy up various shrubs, ivy, clematis, etc. I've also used him to prune back a wild plum tree, and to remove a dead conifer. They arrive on time, are unfailingly friendly and courteous, they work fast and efficiently, tidy up after themselves and take the waste away with them. I never give anyone a perfect score, because it's always possible to improve, hence four stars.

Outstanding Service & Professionalism
From the initial site inspection to the pruning of five trees, Simon inspired confidence by his honesty, experience and willingness to accommodate our requirements and offer advice as to the best outcome throughout. He has an eye for detail and a thorough knowledge of the trees he tackled. Simon and his team were punctual and carried out the tasks with enthusiasm and obvious pride in their work. He clearly wants to leave satisfied and happy customers. They tided up impeccably afterwards despite cuttings and wood shavings settling onto the gravel drive. They also cleared debris on a public path. We would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to others.

Immaculate job
Simon and his team removed a willow tree, a large ivy and various other unwanted plants. From first contacting him he was a delight to deal with, responding to our queries quickly and arranging a consultation where he demonstrated his expertise. The quote was very reasonable and all works were carried out speedily, to a high standard and he checked we were happy with everything before departing (what was most impressive was the cleanup - it was as if they were never there!). Customer service, standard of work and value for money were all extremely impressive. A friendly, efficient and high-quality service. Thoroughly recommend.

Simon and his team are extremely professional, reliable and courteous. They take an enormous pride in their work and so jobs are finished with a very high level of care. We have used Simon and his team a number of times over the years, once for a serious emergency and they have always responded immediately and nothing is too much trouble. They are a rare find and I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
