Great job and very tidy

Nigel and his team came bang on time, all polite and professional. They cut back a 25 foot overgrown tree and left it with a nice shape. They removed a large fern tree that was too large for the garden, pruned a 20 foot mock orange giving it a neat rounded shape, removed holly and pruned a hedge in the front garden. They took pride in leaving the garden looking spotless, no mess to be seen, and regularly checked with me that I was happy. Considering the fern tree was not part of the original job speck, I was pleasantly surprised the final bill was slightly less than originally quoted. Very happy and will use Carringtons again.

Nigel and his team did a great job removing 4 sixty foot Leylandi trees from a difficult part of my garden. ( 65 yards ) to kerbside through narrow access. This was the 3rd time Carringtons had done work for me. Nigel also trimmed overhanging neighbours trees and my Cherry trees. I was in hospital when the work was done and Nigel informed my wife of of the jobs progression at every stage. The clear up was immaculate.

Experienced tree surgeons who know their ‘stuff’. Communication is great and they arrive on time. No time wasting, straight on the job! The guys work quickly and thoroughly. Afterwards my garden was cleared and you’d have no idea that I’d had so much work done! Garden looks fabulous, so neat and tidy. Would recommend to all.

We've used Nigel and his team for many years for various projects ranging from large to small and he always makes time to fit us in. Always gives great advice, always turns up on time, always clears up (not always the case with many tradesmen), always friendly and always reliable. Couldn't recommend high enough.

Tree removal

Carringtons removed a 30ft+ tree in my garden. They completed the work efficiently and without damage to the surrounding vegetation. The branches were removed and put through a chipper and the trunk was removed in manageable sized pieces. Small twigs etc were removed in bags leaving the garden clean and tidy. I was impressed with their professionalism and safe working practices. The work was completed on time and on budget. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Carringtons again and would recommend them to anyone needing similar work done.

Pruning of trees and hedges
Customer Service

Following a house move, we needed to seriously prune some of the trees and hedges on the property. Nigel came and gave advice on what needed to be done and what could wait until another year, clearly knowledgeable on the types of trees concerned. Also gave a reasonable quote. Due to other work being done, we had to put Nigel off until we were ready but he was completely understanding and fitted us in once we were ready to proceed. Turned up on the agreed day with a small team who all worked quickly and efficiently to get the work done. They protected other plants and flowers as best as possible while they worked, and removed all cuttings on completion leaving the garden neat and tidy again. They were also very sensitive about the possibility of nesting birds in the trees while they were pruning them. We're very pleased with the result and will happily use him again.

Nigel and his team have done two jobs for me now. The first time they pruned two trees back and cared for and cleared some conifers which had become overgrown. The second time they cut down a tree, shaped another and shaped and cleared some high hard-to-reach hedging. Both times Nigel visited and talked through exactly what I wanted. Approachable, helpful and clearly very knowledgeable giving honest, fair advice. The work that the team did was exactly as discussed and better, and the price was exactly as the quote was given initially. Fantastic job, completely recommend and will be using their services again. Thank you Nigel and the team.

Nigel and his team provide a very friendly and efficient service which makes dealing with them a pleasure. The eucalyptus tree in my garden was getting out of hand and has been trimmed right back but, still looks a very pleasant shape. All the work undertaken is cleared away and you wouldn’t know that they had been. Superb job.

Contacted Nigel about an overgrown olive tree. He advised the best time to do the work and provided a quote. His team arrived on the agreed day and time. All work was discussed with me beforehand. Carried out work quickly and professionally. The team were polite and helpful. The area was cleared afterwards, all debris removed. Would not hesitate to recommend this company and to use them again myself in the future.

Carrington are a very professional company. They were very polite. Cleared up everything behind them. The work carried out was on 2 conifer trees that were very close together and had grown exceptionally tall and bushy. They trimmed them in height and width and made them look like one tree. Exceptional work and my trees now look fantastic. I would definitely recommend. Very good value for money.

Mr. Carrington visited us in June and advised that the best time to complete the work would be October / November. Note that we had contacted a number of companies, who either did not return calls / emails or quoted a ridiculous price without seeing the tree!!!! We agreed a fair market price & date in October. They arrived around 7.30am and immediately started work setting up ther equipment. Prior to starting we spoke and agreed on how far we wanted the tree cut back and shaping. The work was carried out to a very professional standard and we could not be happier with result. This is the third time that we have had the tree cut and I have to say that it is the only time that our garden was completely cleared of all the cuttings. I will definitely be contacting them again when the tree needs to be cut again.
