The two experts immediately understood our exact requirements and carried out the work in record time, (They declined the offer of a tea break until after the work was completed!) The site was left properly tidy. The behaviour and attitude of the experts was faultless.

Large apple tree crown reduction

We had inherited a large apple tree in our garden and were unsure as to how much of it should be pruned in order to keep the tree healthy. We’d already had a quote from another firm but weren’t impressed. Sean came and gave us great advice which worked best for us and the long term health of the tree - and the job was very competitively priced too. The work was completed within a few weeks & we’re extremely happy with the results. We would highly recommend Forbes Treecare & will be back to use their services in future.

Poplar Tree Felling

Having appointed Forbes Treecare to fell two very large (15m and 20m) poplar trees, we found the whole team to be very efficient and a pleasure to work with. We got the impression that the whole team enjoyed their work as well as working together. They were very knowledgeable and professional. They protected the inside of the house so as to carry through all the waste and tidied up all the debris from the tree felling. Their cost was very competitive too. I would strongly recommend them!

An olive tree, a couple of feet tall when planted, had grown over three storeys high and was in need of a haircut and pruning. We saw a Forbes Treecare team working nearby and checked the excellent Which? Trusted Trader for information and reviews about the company. A reasonable quote was given after an inspection of the tree and the company undertook to obtain council permission for the work. On the day, two employees turned up at the time stipulated, explained what they were going to do and made sure we were happy. The work was carried out efficiently and neatly. The level of knowledge from the team leader was impressive. We received excellent service from Forbes Treecare and would heartily recommend the company.

We needed to have two sycamore trees felled as these were restricting the light to neighbouring gardens and in danger of undermining garden walls. A three man team undertook the work and completed the job in 2 to 3 hours. The trees were fully shredded on site and the area surrounding the work fully cleared of debris. The stumps were treated to prevent regrowth. The team were extremely competent and polite and the cost of the service lower than we expected having tried to estimate the cost using online sources. I thoroughly recommend Forbes Treecare.

I called Forbes Treecare , among others to get a quote for removal of a Sycamore tree causing cracks to front of our house. Sean attended and provided a written quote swiftly. Works were arranged for a couple of weeks later, at my convenience and Sean and his team arrived promptly and carried out the tree removal efficiently and properly. All tree debris was removed and the area was left clean and tidy. A hassle free transaction, I would have no hesitation in recommending Forbes Treecare to anyone and would use them again for any further works needed without hesitation.

My wife and I had two trees which were getting too big for their boots and were also a bit tangled. To make things worse they were between a garden fence and a fishpond which gave difficult access. After having visits from four companies we chose Sean's Forbes Treecare. Sean told us they were quite busy and couldn't do the job straight away. (I like to deal with companies who 'have a lot on'). As the trees had taken 15 years to grow to their size I considered a little longer wouldn't matter. Sean sent two men who made easy work of it. They covered the large-ish pond with a tarp to stop sawdust, etc, getting to our many fish. They were obviously top professionals. They were most considerate and helpful throughout and did a pretty thorough clean-up job. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
