Large Silver Birch significantly reduced in size, but shape maintained wonderfully
The Silver Birch had grown in an "unruly" way, partially due to a poor crown reduction some years earlier, and it had become very large. We wanted the tree size noticeably reduced but were keen for it not to "look odd" after. Richard's advice was clear about what he considered could be done, and provided a written quotation very promptly. He called at the house again around the intended time with Paul, an Arborist on the team to review the tree and plan the work. They expressed concern that the sap was running very strongly and might stress the tree. It was agreed to delay the work from early March until August to protect the tree. The work started in August as planned and was undertaken with great skill. The volume of the tree was reduced without detriment to the shape, which was not only maintained but enhanced with Guy in the tree and Paul directing the cutting from the ground and clearing the debris. It was a big job, the work was completed in about 6 hours from start and the site left spotless. The whole team have a great understanding of and compassion for the trees, clearly enjoy their work, are concerned for the long term welfare and management of the trees and are able to communicate well with the customer. I have no hesitation in recommending Richard Price and the team for such work. It was completed on time, to cost and plan. Very professional outfit.

Ash Tree Removal
Richard and his team removed an extremely large Ash tree from our back garden, which had unfortunately become much too large and was crossing our borders, causing potential issues with neighbours. The work was completed on time and at the quoted price. Richard and his team were very polite and friendly, punctual, pleasant to have around with no bad language, loud radios and the like. Everything was left tidy, our fence and shed were not damaged and we were pleased with the job.

Garden Work 187 Bishop Road, Bristol
I have used this company once or twice a year since 2016, during which time they have carried general garden maintenance and tree work. A budget and time schedule was agreed. On this occasion the price was reduced on completion as it was finished in less time they programmed. They have always completed the works as agreed in a efficient and helpful manner.

Really couldn't have asked for more. We're so happy with the work we're booking them in to come regularly.
Really excellent job. The trees have been left with a lovely shape, and have been pruned back as we needed. One tree was over gravel which is a real pain to clear debris from but the team carefully laid out sheets to collect the debris to avoid leaves and branches falling onto the gravel. And they went above and beyond the job and cleared up fallen leaves and branches that I'd not been well enough to clear and were going to mulch into the gravel. I was really touched by this. Really couldn't have asked for more. We're so happy with the work we're booking them in to come regularly.

Outstanding cat rescue
When the fire service and RSPCA couldn’t help, in desperation I called Rich hoping he could help rescue my 6 month old kitten stuck for 7 hours 49ft up a tree in high winds. He said Paul could help if he was free. Pail called me within 10 minutes and arrived in 30 minutes. Less than 5 minutes later Bruce was safely back on firm ground with a new best friend in Paul. And outstanding service done completely as a goodwill gesture.

A good job done in awful weather
Removed two trees and trimmed a third, all in pretty foul weather in the aftermath of Storm Dennis. Despite that no mess! Happily very straightforward to deal with as a company as well.

Tree reduction
Green Planet Tree Services did a great job reducing the two trees in our garden. They shaped them well, worked quickly and efficiently, and cleared up thoroughly afterwards. As we live in a conservation area, Rich also prepared and submitted the appropriate paperwork to the council prior to the work starting.

Party with a Sycamore
Rich and his colleague came to maintain my large Sycamore and take back a neighbours apple tree to the boundary fence. They arrived on time and after a brief chat, they got on with the job. I've used Rich and his team a couple of times over the years and they never fail to deliver. The work is always top quality and Rich is always happy to share his wisdom and knowledge. I cannot recommend Rich and his team highly enough.

Large Trees Removed
Great work by Richard and his team. Removed a large ash tree and a tall conifer from a tricky position, overhanging neighbouring garden. All done in a day, without any problems. Richard was highly professional, polite and knowledgeable. Cleared away the debris, leaving us 3 great ash sections for use as garden stools. Would use again/recommend. Was cheaper than an alternative quote and quick to respond to emails.

Excellent work
Richard pollarded 4 or 5 trees at the side of the property. I was happy with the work, it has always been excellent. He arranged the necessary road closures, cleared up and took the rubbish away - top notch job.

Great job and 5* service from Green Planet Tree services
Rich and Ben from Green Planet Tree services did a great job lifting our evergreen oak and trimming our magnolia. They maintained the beautiful shape of the tree, while letting in more light to the garden. Throughout the process, Rich helped us with the paperwork for planning permission. A great job and 5* service. We highly recommend. Thank you to Rich and Ben from Green Planet Tree Services.

Tree work
Richard pruned some trees and removed one from the garden. I was happy with the work, he turned up on time and cleared up after himself.

Garden maintenance
Richard trimmed a big fern tree in the front garden and reshaped and trimmed some big hedges. I was absolutely happy with the work. He cleaned up so well I wouldn't have even known he'd been there apart from the tidy trees.
