Tree Pruning

I have used Forbes Treecare on a number of occasions to prune my magnolia tree. On all occasions I have been very pleased with their work. The team always do an excellent job, they are always on time and efficient. I work, so cannot be at home when they are doing the pruning but I have every confidence in them as professionals and the garden is left tidy after they have finished. I would recommend Forbes Treecare, Sean and his team for this service.

I am delighted with Forbes tree care - they were very lovely and did a great job pruning our tree. Also much better value than other quotes we got for the work. I'll be using them again.

I have a gorgeous Acer in my front garden, it's an ornamental tree. With all the rain this summer it morphed into a much larger tree and was dominating the front garden blocking out light and so on. I love this tree and I wanted to make sure that it was sympathetically pruned. Alex came to first scope out the job and then he did the trimming with the help of the other guys. Acers don't like to be heavily pruned and it takes real expertise to do it properly. The tree looks great! Alex did a terrific job and was so pleasant to work with.

Trimmed a tree in our garden and did a great job. Quick, friendly service. Came a week early as they had a cancellation. Very happy all round.

This is the second time we've used Sean's team at Forbes tree care. Both times the service has been friendly, economical and professional, from communication, quoting, and the actual service on the day (including great clean up in the garden and house). These guys really know what they're doing and are lovely to come around, added to which the quotes both times have been pretty reasonable for the amount of work involved. Highly recommend!

Forbes Treecare Ltd were extremely helpful initially with advice, and then very efficient and thorough planting our new trees as well as transplanting two shrubs that needed moving. We used them several times during the last couple of years when our Honey Locust tree needed pruning. We recommend them unconditionally.

This is the second time I have used Forbes Treecare. Sean responded quickly to my enquiry and as before visited my home and provided a quote. I am pleased with the work on tree and bushes which was completed even though the weather was not kind. The team were professional, friendly and as before removed all the cuttings and cleaned up. I can highly recommend Forbes Treecare.

The crew pruned 3 large London plane trees and an overgrown Pyracantha bush. They organised the necessary permissions from the local council and liaised with the neighbours at the rear, very efficiently. They arrived on time, and quickly got organised, each person (including a woman) knowing what they were to do. They cleared the cuttings as they went along, and my garden was left clean and tidy.

We appointed Forbes Treecare to reduce an oak, about 15m tall, in our garden. I was pleased with the clarity of the information provided in advance of the works as well as with the 4 young gentlemen who carried out the task professionally and efficiently.
