Friendly reliable tree surgeons who seem to genuinely care about the trees

I recently had to have my large plum treee cut back as it was over hanging the garden fence and the previous next door neighbour, who had no issue with the tree and actually enjoyed it, sold up and it was bought by someone who was less of a fan. This mature tree was one of the reasons bought the property 10 years ago, so a big reduction was a sad day for me... But forbes tree care made it as painless as possible. They were warm friendly and sympathetique. They provided excellent advice and took great care of the tree and of my home in removing the debris. Once they had finished the tree looked less destroyed than I had imagined and I'm sure after a couple of years it's new lopsidedness will become a feature. They worked quickly and efficiently, even in the rain and came in on budget. This is not the first time I have used forbes tree care and always go to them first whenever I have any tree surgery needs. Whilst I value the tree I also value the relationship with my neighbour, however misguided their views on trees might be. I was pleased to be able to reach out to a company that I trusted who could safe guard my tree.

Sean, Alex and their team of tree surgeons were fantastic! Very experienced, knowledgeable, professional, polite, helpful and took extreme care during the pollarding of very large trees located in a difficult position on my property. Sean organised prior access to the rear property that adjoined mine and during the tree cutting and felling process, the team worked on both sides to ensure that work was carried out to a very high standard with complete health and safety protocols in place. They also did a great job in trimming large branches of a two large evergreen trees along with clearing overgrown ground cover in my garden. At the end of the works, the garden was left free of tree debris and in a tidy state. They were punctual and kept to the scheduled dates as per our agreement and were very competitively priced when compared to other companies. Overall, Forbes Tree Care were an excellent choice and I’m very happy with their service. I will unhesitatingly use them again for any tree works and recommend them very highly. Thank you Sean & Alex for a great job!

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.

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.

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.

I required a dead plum tree taken down and chopped for firewood together with a holly and pyracantha hedge reduced by 1 metre. Alfie Bines Gardens recommended Forbes Treecare. I called Sean and a visit to look at work and provide quote was arranged within 24 hours. The quote was received within a couple of days, accepted and the date was agreed. The team of two arrived as arranged at 8.30am and worked solidly without a break until completion at 3pm. All work was efficiently completed and the waste was removed. Helpfully the firewood was carried up the lawn and stacked as requested. In summary, a highly skilled job carried out professionally.

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.

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.

Forbes Tree Care felled a dead tree, tidied up an overgrown elder and took height off some overgrown shrubs. The team arrived on time and confirmed the details of the job. They explained what they would do in detail. They introduced themselves to the neighbours to make people feel comfortable with them on the borders. Whilst they were with me, they also helped dig up an old stump and move some garden furniture. After the job, they cleaned up so you couldn’t tell they’d been. The stand out part of their service was the friendliness of the team. I really enjoyed having them in the garden for a few hours. I can’t wait for the trees to get overgrown again so that they can come back over! Would definitely recommend.

We are a block of flats in Barnet, and needed 10 large trees on our premises (oaks, horse chestnuts etc.) professionally lopped. Difficulties included many trees being on a main road and having a bus stop / busy pavement under some of the trees. Sean's initial visit was a big seller - intelligent, knowledgeable, plenty of advice given - but best of all, an obvious confidence that the job could be done. The Quote was complete, well laid out & reasonable (next to lowest of 4 suppliers we selected). The work was scheduled for, and completed in, a two day window. Sean and his 7 companions were here by 8.15 each morning for a prompt start. And they completed the job on time despite some appalling conditions - sporadic heavy rain and 30-40 mph winds - not good when you're at the top of a tree higher than a three story house. The interface with the general public on the pavement / at the bus stop was handled well, with safety always in mind. The clean away after the job was very thorough. We were very happy with the work done & would happily recommend Forbes Treecare to others - indeed, we have just done so!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Would highly recommend them.
