Tree Pruning

Expert job of pruning and shaping trees in a dense urban environment, shaping them well and carrying out the work without damage to fences, glass house or other property. The team arrived promptly and were well organised. They provided protections and left everything neat and tidy. Their arboriculturalists are experts on the trees they prune and freely offered advice about maintenance. All of them were very friendly and appeared to enjoy their work. They carried out the work and invoiced exactly in accordance with the quotation they gave. I shall not hesitate to ask them to return and prune when the trees need it again in about 4 years time.

I have used Forbes on a couple of occasions now and have found them to be polite, friendly, very knowledgeable and they always leave things nice and tidy. The first time I used Forbes was to prune a huge plum tree and they were really great. There was an issue with my garage door and they helped me resolve that before they left which I much appreciated. This time they removed the above tree for me and were very helpful about the type of tree I could replace it with and exactly where I should plant it. Overall I have found all of the people that have come to my house to be really great and I would definitely always use them in the future for any tree work.

Have used the services of Forbes for several years to carry out annual tree and bush pruning. Also this year to dig out unwanted plants. Their teams are courteous, efficient and responsive to working jointly throughout the work. They are also particular in clearing away the cut foliage at the end of the job. Have no hesitation in recommending Forbes for this type of garden work.

Forbes Tree Care managed to gain planning consent in a conservation area to fell an enormous tree in the front garden, which has transformed the home and street immeasurably. The Forbes team were punctual, friendly and very considerate to protect the home from mess. They tirelessly persisted climbing and felling through rain and hail. They also removed a huge amount of ivy from another large tree at the rear. All tasks were expertly and thoroughly completed with a minimum of fuss. Very grateful to all of the Forbes Tree Care team - thank you!

The team arrived promptly, and carried out the tidying up work on our (slowly) dying oak tree. They were quick and efficient and safety conscious. They left the garden tidy too. They put up a bird feeder and positioned it just as we wanted. A good morning's work!

Forbes Tree Care provided a first class service when they pollarded a lime tree in our garden. We were particularly pleased at the respect they showed for our neighbour’s property and ensured that no debris was left behind. We recommend them.

I asked Sean for advice on a poorly pear tree and he duly sent someone to take a look. I was advised how to treat it including reducing the height. His team did a very clean, professional and efficient job and i would highly recommend them.

Forbes did an excellent job of pruning several trees and plants. They were well informed about how it should be done to protect the health of the trees. They were friendly, keen to make sure we were pleased with the work and took care to clean up afterwards.

We are very happy to recommend this excellent team of gardeners. They removed several seriously overgrown shrubs and then returned with a stump grinder to clear roots. The young team of both men and women arrived on time, budget estimate was reasonable and adhered to, and the team was very friendly and careful with the management of noise and clearing up after themselves. Their equipment was besides environmentally friendly. It was a joy to have them around and we are happy to recommend them. They also showed good area knowledge, though the firm is located further north of London. They left giving advice on how we can now proceed ourselves. In all a great success. Thank You!
