A pleasant team of tree surgeons who arrived promptly to trim two trees and remove ivy. The work was carried out to a professional standard with safety harnesses etc. worn. Branches were taken away and the place left tidy. The agreed schedule and budget was kept.

Sean came round to quote a couple of times as we were being indecisive. He was the only quote we got that was comfortable with grinding out stumps and getting machine through our narrow, long flat. His quote was fair and he did the planning application for us, as we live in a conservation area. He was knowledgeable regarding the local council and impressive. On the day, his team arrived on time and were organised, professional and careful, led by Patrick. They were positive and seemed confident. We have a long, narrow hallway and they had to remove three trees from our garden including grinding out the stumps, and remove all waste through the front door. I was amazed how well they protected our newly refurbished flat (new wooden floors, kitchen and completely renovated) with ease. No damage done. All done in one day and payment terms reasonable. I would recommend this company to anyone. We have had a lot of work done in our home and this lot compare favourably!

Eight years of great service from Sean

We first secured Sean's help with hedges and a pear tree in the garden 8 years ago. He was then a one-man band. Since then he has returned nearly every year to tend the pear tree and a few other trees in our garden. He now has a thriving business and we are pleased his hard work and his love of trees has worked out so successfully. His advice is always reliable. We trust him and his team absolutely and have no hesitation is recommending him.

The Forbes Treecare team came and removed a selection of tricky plants from my house - ivy climbers and sharp spikey plants. Sean quoted quickly and efficiently for the task - and the guys came and dispatched the work super-efficinetly, cleanly, and were a pleasure to have working at the house. 100% recommended - a cracking job well done.

The team did a fantastic job on our front trees. They had checked with local council planning and reviewed and advised this in line with our thoughts on how to thin our trees. Really helpful advice on maintenance going forward, they were professional with expert knowledge on caring for trees. Couldn't fault them and they left our property clean of any debris. We are really happy with the work, we would use them again and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them for anyone looking for tree care work.

From the initial consultation with Sean to the work carried out on the day everything was professional and ran smoothly. We had one huge Leylandii reduced in height by 3m, one Leylandii tree cut down and various tree stumps removed. The friendly team which consisted of Alec, Alex and Patrick arrived early and proceeded to complete their jobs efficiently and with consideration to our surrounding neighbours. We are delighted with the outcome as we have more light and our garden looks neat and tidy. We have recommended you already and would not hesitate in using you again! Thank you Treecare Ltd, a fantastic job!

Forbes team did a terrific job leaving our garden much clearer and lighter without it looking bare. The team were knowledgeable, efficient, prompt and helpful. I cannot recommend them highly enough. All wood and leaves cleared away perfectly at the end too. Many thanks!
