Meadowside Tree Care

Yoda Reeves had done work for me previously and it was to an expected high standard. He again provided me with a full quotation and came to carry out the work - cutting hedges and trimming and shaping trees, etc. He and his colleague carried out the work very satisfactorily and to the customary standard. Trusty and reliable, and have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Excellent job again which is why I will continue to use Meadowbank every year. Excellent communication and service, and tidied up perfectly once the job was complete.

I have used this trader on a number of occasions to maintain a Cherry Tree. He is now familiar with what needs to be done, in this case, Crown Reduction, and the work is carried with the minimum of fuss at the agreed time and to budget.

I’ve used Yoda & his team for numerous years and plan to continue doing so. Great people, excellent work & a good price

I only moved into my current house 6 months ago, but the previous owner highly recommended Meadowside Tree Care for trimming , tidying up the large tall hedge that surrounds most of the house. He had used them for years apparently. When I contacted Yoda he came round promptly and gave a very reasonable quote. Yoda and his assistant came around on the agreed date and cut the hedge with great skill and efficiency with good advice about future needs. All the mess, debris was cleared with no fuss or bother. I would highly recommend them for their skill and professionalism.

Meadowside Tree Care company has pruned the tree several times, but we decided it was way past its best and should be felled. Yoda and his colleague completed the job successfully and tidied the site. It was a successful operation.

I have some 50m of privet hedge which over the years has become too high and wide for me to manage. Yoda and his assistant arrived on the appointed time, and by late morning had cut it down to a much more manageable size, tidied and loaded all waste onto their van. Very happy with the result and would recommend without hesitation.

The process for scheduling the work to remove our tree was painful. Yoda insisted we weren’t in a conservation area so would not submit the necessary permit. He even sent us a map to prove his point, but it clearly showed we were in a conservation area. He eventually submitted an obviously rushed version as his request stated, “Tree has become top lager for the garden and no viable option to reduce.” Once the work was scheduled, we managed to secure parking for his vehicles asking the neighbours to leave the road clear and laying out cones. We waited outside for his scheduled arrival at 9 am to ensure that the road remained clear. No sign. 10 am. No sign. We called. No answer. We texted. No answer. Emailed. No answer. He eventually emailed at 12:30 pm citing staffing issues. We did not receive another proposed date for the work until four days later. By that time, we had lost faith decided to hire a different contractor. We informed Yoda we would no longer need his services. Yoda came to our house and abused us saying we had breached our contract with him. He threatened to go to the council and have our permit rescinded. He told us he would bill us for his time submitting the permit. We heard nothing until three weeks later when we received an invoice for £192 for his work on the permit. You can draw your own conclusions about what that says about his hourly rate.

Yoda gave our monster hedge its annual haircut with great skill and efficiency. No fuss, no bother, good communication. Not much more to say. Highly recommended.

Yoda is brilliant. Did a great job with pruning my apple tree a magnolia and some hedges. wonderful service by wonderful people. I think the only minor issue I had was some scheduling conflicts but he's done a lovely job today so I don't mind.
