We would like to thank Sean at Forbes Tree Care, and thanks especially on the day to Alex, Joel, and Harry, who were lovely and great from start to finish of the job. They turned up on time, were super polite, and did a quality job. As all the tree rubble had to go through our turn-of-the-century terrace, they sheeted the route through the house as soon as they arrived. I would happily recommend.

I was very happy with the tree trimming at my property by Sean and his team at Forbes Tree Care. This is the second time I have used their service and I was very satisfied. Sean responded quickly to my request for a quote. One of his team came to the property to assess and very promptly I got a quote to do the work. Sean also took care of contacting the local council to get approval for the work to be done. On the day agreed, the team arrived on time, were polite and responsive to my questions. They did their work and cleaned up very quickly. I am fully satisfied with Forbes service and would be happy to recommend them.

Work tricky - Large elderflower/berry tree falling over in our garden and onto neighbours fence, tree entangled with Ivy and very thorny climbing rose. Work achieved quickly and efficiently (quicker than I had anticipated). All debris had to be carried through house. Forbes protected walls, floors etc and cleared up after work ended. All personnel involved very pleasant. Initial estimate visit reassuring and informative. Communication during and after also efficient and professional. Would use again nice people to work with.
