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.

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.

Customer comes last. Beware.
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 He threatened to go to the council and have our permit rescinded.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.

The trader replied (on 04/06/2024)
I feel this is pretty inaccurate and misleading to benefit yourself. Leaving me no choice but to correct a few points. I also feel it's a shame that you didn't see fit to leave a review for the previous work I have done for you. Once I had established you were in fact in the conservation area I promptly submitted the application and using my years of experience I submitted a correctly worded application to the council. Resulting in the application being approved in 3 weeks instead of 6. On the day I was meant to carry out the work (you happily accepted) I was very unwell and contacted you as soon as I felt well enough, I then emailed you the following day (Friday) to confirm that I was moving things around to reschedule as soon as I could. I then contacted you on the Monday to say I could do the work the following week. Which was a response in 2 working days. To which you replied telling me that you wouldn't be using my services. I then came to your house to collect my traffic cones and try to resolve with you what had happened. I think you are getting confused with abuse and anger. I fully admit to becoming unhappy once you told me that whilst I had spent my weekend moving clients around and booking additional staff for the following week, you had been seeking another contractor. As I could not rescind the application I have billed you for my time.
Nice job!

Yoda Reeves [Meadowside Tree Care] has pruned our two apple trees annually for the last 4 years, as well as trimming hedges round the property, and putting us in his diary for the next year. This has resulted in good growth and good harvesting of apples later in the year. One year he also did a tricky job of extricating a pyrocantha bush from an overgrown area. This January, as usual he efficiently trimmed the two trees, and fed all the debris into his machine, leaving the garden tidy.. We are happy to pay his charges for the expertise, advice and helpfulness he aways gives the work.

Yoda and his assistant turned up early (after checking that it was convenient for me). They removed several dead branches from a large tree in our garden.

Cannot fault Meadowside tree services. They quoted a competitive price for the removal of a few wayward leylandi in our garden that were really getting out of hand and towering over the house! Yoda and Rupert were prompt and efficient, removing all waste from site, and they were also really friendly people to deal with. Unfortunately there was an issue with the chainsaw (and unluckily also the back-up chainsaw!) in the very final hour of work. These things happen, but Yoda would not leave a part-finished job, so he and Steph kindly gave up their Saturday morning the very next day to come back and finish up. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be using them again! :)

Meadowside have now carried out work for me on a number of occasions (including pollarding, hedge and tree trimming) and I have always found Yoda and his team to be first class in every respect. Arriving punctually, completing the tasks efficiently, with a minimum of fuss to a very high standard, they always ensure that all debris and trimmings are removed and the garden left in a tidy state.

Poor communication
Firstly, I’m sorry to be writing this. I met Yoda on 17/02/23 when he was working two doors away felling a tree and asked if he would mind looking at the large hedge in my garden with a view to trimming and shaping it. Yoda kindly gave me a verbal quote and warned that there would be a wait as it was a busy time and also to send an email to Meadowside reiterating our conversation. I duly did and heard nothing. I wrote another email 05/03/23. Again, nothing. I really don’t mind that they don’t want the work (and it has since been done), but how long does it take to drop off a courtesy one sentence email explaining they haven’t time for the work? Call me old-fashioned but it’s rude!

This is the second time I've used Meadowside Tree care having found them in a search of local tree surgeons. After a review of their site and customer reviews I reached out for a quote for hedge trimming, hazelnut, apple tree and a Field Maple tree prunning so by no means a quick job. Yoda soon got in touch to provide a quote and I found him extremely knowledgeable and down to earth so felt more than happy placing my garden in his care. His quotation came back as very reasonable which sealed the deal. Splitting the job across two days (the first delayed due to sickness but we quickly rescheduled) on both days Yoda arrived promptly and worked diligently. I was surprised at how tidy he left our garden and drive after he was complete even removing extra fallen leaves for us off of the drive (which was a lot!) Both times I was extremely happy with the result and would happily use them again.

Yoda and his colleague Ben arrived on time and swiftly and efficiently set about cutting down the large dying apple tree in our back garden. They both had very friendly engaging characters and to our amazement had completed the task in just over a couple of hours. All timber and rubbish was swiftly removed leaving the area very clean. They then proceeded to remove a couple of Hawthorn trees from our front garden and again were most amazed at the speed in which the work was carried and the area left very clean. Yoda had to cancel the date for the work to be done on a couple of occasions, but again telephoned us to ensure that we were aware of his issues. The price for his work was very reasonable and I would certainly highly recommend him to anyone requiring a totally reliable, skilled skilled tradesman.

Meadowside Tree Care are justifiably busy and cannot be immune to staff sickness, so it took a little over three months for the work to take place after the initial visit. The team of three arrived on time, and rapidly got stuck into reducing the height and levelling the top and front of a tall leylandii 'boundary hedge' about 5-6m high and about 12m wide, a beech hedge, and assorted small trees and bushes in both the rear and front gardens. A couple of requests to trim a specific tree or bush further were carried out cheerfully. The resulting trimmings were removed and everywhere was left tidy. It was a real pleasure to have the team on-site, and I would unhesitatingly recommend this firm to those who want a good job done professionally, rapidly, enthusiastically and pleasantly. They know what they are doing, perform the job efficiently, and exceed expectations.

We contacted Meadowside Tree Care to quote for reducing the height and depth of an overgrown laurel hedge, and for removing a dead lilac tree. Although Yoda was booked up for some time, he was able to provide a quote and fit in the work around his other jobs - getting it done a few weeks ahead of originally planned. We weren’t around when he did the work but when we returned home, we found the work had been done exactly as we’d discussed, and the area had been tidied. We’d definitely recommend Meadowside Tree Care to others and will contact them for any further work should we need it.

I had a huge, overgrown privet hedge that needed to be reduced and had received two or three ridiculously high quotes, I think traders were trying to take advantage of an older woman on her own. I saw Meadowside's advert in the Hill & Hatherley Pages and thought I would give them a try, what a difference from start to finish ! The lady I first spoke to was friendly and helpful and when Yoda came to look at the job he was quite charming so I also asked him about a few bits of tree work. His quote came through promptly and was very reasonable so I accepted, the only problem being that he was fully booked for some time and couldn't do the work until late October but I decided it would be worth waiting. During October I began to think it was too late to cut the hedge because it would take away the birds' winter shelter and be rather bare to look at so the week before he was due I telephoned Yoda to explain this but say that I had realised there was more tree work to be done. He took it in his stride, agreeing that I was probably right about the hedge and suggested that , instead of individual prices, he charged a day rate for himself and his assistant and they got done as much as they could in the time. He and Rick arrived on time, were friendly and helpful, liaised with me all day, did a tremendous amount of work incredibly well, exactly as I asked and left everything tidy. I would thoroughly recommend them for first class work at a reasonable price.

The first appointment for the work had to be cancelled at the last minute due to a previous job over-running, but a new date was fixed very quickly and the work was carried out then. There were two options for our tree, which is a contorted willow badly in need of pruning, as it had grown enormously since the last pruning 2 years ago. We were given clear explanations about both options and reasons for their recommended option (pollarding - which we went for). The work was carried out efficiently and the garden was cleared up thoroughly before they went. The quote for the work was very reasonable and that was exactly what we were charged.

Meadowside Tree Care provided an excellent service. They assessed the work in advance and sent an acceptable estimate to hard prune a holly tree, an overgrown lilac entwined with ivy in a difficult position above a wall, and an overgrown shrub. They arrived punctually on the agreed day and carried out the work professionally. They listened to my requests, provided helpful advice, and the work was completed within budget. They cleared up every last twig and left the garden immaculate. I would definitely employ them again.

I planted what was supposed to be a dwarf flowering cherry tree in my small town garden some years ago. Fast forward and it had become an overgrown monster, blocking both light and access. Yoda has done an excellent job - removing low branches, thinning and lifting the crown and re-shaping - creating a really lovely structure that can become a feature. He attended promptly to quote for the job, and to undertake the work. Very reasonable price as well. I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

I’ve used Meadowside Tree Services several times over the last ten years. Most recently, I had two trees felled and a 16-metre length of leylandii hedge removed and taken away. There was no mess or damage and the work was done very efficiently and with great care. They ground out all the stumps and there was no damage to my lawn or plants. My garden was left very neat and tidy with no mess. They are on the Council’s list of approved tree surgeons and I can highly recommend them.

After recent snowfall I found that some branches of my large conifer had been broken and were in a dangerous state overhanging the pavement/road. Consulting 'Which? Trusted Traders', I opted to call Meadowside Tree Care and within an hour Yoda arrived and proceeded to remove the damaged branches to make the tree safe. As this was a busy time, due to many trees being damaged by the snow, I was very impressed with this quick response. Committed to attend another emergency call, Yoda returned a few days later to shred the debris and left the site clean and tidy. I have now asked him for a quotation for other tree work and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who requires a skillful, knowledgeable and reliable tree surgeon. His pleasant manner makes it a pleasure to do business with him.

Alison and her team came highly recommended to me from two friends who had each benefited from their care and I soon found that they had not exaggerated their praise. From the first contact with Alison I knew that we were in safe hands. Yoda made a preliminary visit,took photos and measurements and was so kind and courteous and a date was arranged to deal with my two trees, a Rangy Cornelian Cherry and a mature apple tree that badly needed shaping and pruning to let more light into my garden. The work was carried out with great care, expertise and efficiency. They had listened carefully to all that I had said and worked so hard in what is a very confined space. Everything was left so neat and tidy and they had even cut the big branches into handy sized pieces for a friend to use on her wood burner stove. They made the whole experience stress free and I'm so delighted with the result. I highly recommend them to anyone and they would be my first port of call for any future work that is needed

We had seen this firm working in the area, but had recently had a visit from someone else professing to be an expert in tree surgery and offering to prune our trees and shrubs at twice the price we were subsequently quoted by Meadowside Tree Care. Alison spent time with us on her initial visit explaining just what needed doing and giving advice as to what shrubs/trees we could plant to replace those that were going to be removed. She arrived punctually on the appointed day with a colleague and all the work was accomplished within the morning, without any fuss or mess.

Rang Meadowside Tree Care on a Tuesday morning to ask for a quote to remove 2 trees from the front of our house. Alison came the same day to assess the job and explained in detail what would be involved. She was very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of tree removal, e.g. whether permission is required, disturbance of wild birds, detection of underground pipes and electrical cables, etc. On the Wednesday she dropped by to gives us the quotation. The price quoted was very reasonable, so I rang her Wednesday evening to ask her to go ahead. She rang Thursday to say that she could do the job on Friday. Whilst we were at work on Friday, the two trees were felled, their stumps ground and all the wood removed leaving the site very clean and tidy. We could not have asked for better service. We highly recommend Meadowside Tree Care and will definitely use them again if and when needed in the future.

I hired Meadowside to cut down/poison a large hawthorn and cherry tree, cut down various smaller trees plus prune back part of an overhanging hedge and sever a lot of the ivy choking it in preparation for some fencing work. If I remember rightly they did the site visit the day after I contacted them and a detailed quote was emailed to me within an hour of the visit (impressive). They turned up on time and the three of them slogged all day until finished with only a short break for dinner. They left me a big pile of logs for our wood burner as requested and shredded and disposed of everything else. They were polite, friendly, tidied up at the end and also gave me some useful advice. Can't really comment on the cost as this was the first time I'd hired a tree surgeon and didn't get other quotes due to the pressing fencing issue. However they will definitely be top of my list for work to be done next year and I have also recommended them to colleagues. I didn't have any problems at all with this firm.
