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!

Sean and his team have been helping me keep the larger shrubs and climbers in my garden under control for the past several years - rabid pyracantha, wisteria, vine, roses, and they have also removed troublesome trees. I have been very happy with the quality of work and all of the guys I have met have been professional and very efficient: particular shout out to Alex, Jon and of course Sean.

The company performed crown reduction on two trees, re-pollarded one and reduced an Ash tree considerably. Their work was excellent, on time and they cleaned up well even though they had to carry all waste through the house. The price was the estimate price. Would fully recommend.

The team showed up on time (8am). Worked quickly and efficiently. Cleared up completely. I am very pleased that a large tree (greengage-past its prime) could be felled and a young one pruned and all cleared up in under 2 hours.

Overgrown garden

Sean and his team certainly know their stuff! Not only are they expert in their work but prompt, friendly and efficient. From reducing a large elder to pruning small unruly bushes, they took the same care throughout and transformed an overgrown jungle into a beautiful manageable garden. It was a pleasure to work with such a knowledgeable and communicative team, genuinely keen to have you happy with a job well done. I have a small flat with awkward access but they left it tidy and clean and me, a happy customer. They also carried out major tree surgery at my office premises and I would not hesitate to recommend them for both small and large jobs. How refreshing to have a professional haircut, without too little or too much being taken off! My garden is exactly as I wanted it.

Sean gave me some helpful advice and explained the options for sorting out a badly overgrown pear tree. The team arrived and laid sheets through the house which meant there was no mess to clean up. Everyone was professional, friendly and I felt comfortable having them in my home. They also left the garden tidy. I would highly recommend their services.

Sean and his team removed a large quantity of ivy growing on the back of our house and also pruned a tree in our back garden. They were knowledgeable, efficient, friendly and tidied up very well afterwards, despite having to bring much of the waste through the house as we are a terraced property. Would highly recommend them.

I contracted Sean to take down a very large eucalyptus tree in my garden. He was prompt, polite and professional. He quoted quickly, was reasonably priced and did the job exactly as expected. He also gave me advice about potential to plant some new trees. He did a great job. I would recommend him highly and will use his services again.
