The two-person team from Forbes Tree Care took down a tree for me that was taking too much light and moisture from my garden. Sean Galton dealt with the planning application and kept in touch throughout that process, arranging and rearranging the council's site visit, which was complicated by exceptionally hot weather. The cutting team were charming, friendly and efficient and completed the work more quickly than expected. They left the site completely cleared and tidy.

We have used Forbes Tree care in the past and invited them back to remove a Goat Willow tree that had died. They arrived on time as agreed and completed the job quickly and efficiently. The team were very friendly and professional. All debris was cleared away leaving a very neat finish all within the quote. We will certainly use their services again.

Great tree work and great team
It was a pleasure to have the Forbes Tree team undertake substantial tree work in our garden. They completed the work early and below budget, and to a high quality. They dealt sensitively and politely with our neighbours to ensure that everyone was “on side” and the work went smoothly. They were also extremely good about tidying everything up when they had finished. We would not hesitate to use them again.

My laurel hedge had got completely overgrown and was as tall as the house, and the ivy on the outside of the house was trying to get inside! Patrick and his team sorted everything out so efficiently, with a smile (and in the rain too!). And they cleared up all the waste, chipped it and took it away. I would highly recommend them.

I'm very pleased with the work Forbes Treecare carried out yesterday. They fitted me in sooner than originally agreed owing to a cancellation that had occurred. A large holly was cut back to half its height and nicely shaped, and a plum tree taken out. Numerous overhanging plum branches were cut back to my fence line. The work was done swiftly and they listened to my requests. All in all, very good experience.

These guys did a brilliant job of cutting a large eucalyptus tree down within a very tight space. They were friendly and extremely professional they are also extremely good value for money. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a job well done. The team also cleared up after them and ensured no other plant or trees were damaged in the process. A brilliant job carried out seamlessly.

Forbes Tree Care trimmed our Holm Oak tree for the second time. The first trim some 4 years ago gave the tree a much better shape and this year's trim has continued the improvement. The team undertaking the work were brilliant and I'd thoroughly recommend Forbes for both the quality of their work and for the price/value for money.

Forbes were all excellent. They came punctually each day and were always friendly. They thought there was a bee's nest high up in the tree. (It transpired to be a wasp's.) They talked to the bee expert who said that it was best to cut the tree down in one go and he would deal with the bees. They cut it down very precisely, hitting nothing and making little noise. Our neighbours could not believe how neat it was! They came back to chop it into logs and remove it all through the house. They took over 6 hours with 4 of them working. The mess was incredible and they cleared it all up. They even shook my dust sheets and swept any mess in the house. I could not rate anyone higher.

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.

3 Guys from Forbes came to cut back trees and high hedges in my mothers garden. They did an excellent job, careful to make sure Mum was happy with the height of the trees and where they were cutting. Very kind and friendly and cleared up very well turned up at the time and day agreed and were very efficient. My mother was so pleased with the work done and we both felt that the cost of the work was extremely reasonable. We will definitely use Forbes again and more than happy to recommend.

Thank you Forbes. Our tree is now a beautiful shape and allows light into the house. The trim was thoughtful, efficient, quick and tidied up afterwards. Thank you for not charging us the first time you came and spotted a nest, meaning the trimming could not go ahead and you lost a day’s work. I definitely recommend you.

Forbes Tree Care took out three trees and cut back others in our garden. The service was very good from start to finish: easy to make the booking, with a visit to assess the job before quoting; turned up on time; took care about protecting the carpet and floors - all equipment and waste had to be taken through the house; effective delivery of the work itself; and careful clearing up. I would gladly use them again.
