I and my family have used Mr Searle for many years. He and his team are excellent-competent, professional and with all work done to a (competitively priced) high standard. In addition, and one of the main reasons why I would recommend Mr Searle, he is always on time; and in the field of tradespeople, that is a rarity which makes such a difference when you are planning your day.

Straightforward and reliable contact from initial visit, then quotation, appointment date and financial settlement; all are arranged and expected. The tree felling itself was a pleasure to watch as it was carried out with much competence and forethought. Despite the considerable size of the Scots pine, nothing else in the garden was damaged and all waste was cleared.

Paul made two site visits to assess the work required. He has always responded quickly to my e mails. Paul arranged dates for the work to be undertaken and turned up as expected. Paul and Nathan undertook the work of felling three large trees and stump grinding 11 stumps in a very professional way and were always courteous and helpful. They arrived promptly each day and took away all the trunks and chipped all the branches. They left the site very neat and tidy. All this work was carried out at a very competitive price. Would highly recommend Paul and his team.

Mr Searle & team was commissioned to remove a "dead" tree leaning on to my neighbours property. They performed the work fully prepared with professional care and attention to detail. I would use them again with no hesitation in recommendation.

Turned up on time. Very professional. Took all the deadwood out of tree. They noticed a split in a very big branch, showed me a picture from a mobile. Branch was removed, as it could have caused a lot of damage. All areas tidy and clean after work completed.

I used this company about 15 years ago and wasn't at all surprised that they've had so many good reviews. We'd had problems in a previous garden with a 'butcher' and employed P A Searle on the strength of his qualifications really. He raised the canopy of our copper beech and thinned it out - it still looked wonderful but we could walk under it and have slightly less shade underneath it - and you had to really search to see where it had been cut. Fantastic job. I also used him to fell a dead silver birch and he got it down with no damage to the fence it was next to. Haven't used him more recently because I'm in a different house with no tree surgeon requirement.

Pleasant, informative and professional. PaulÍs itemised written quote came with a copy of the terms and conditions and details of insurance cover. Turned up on time, felled our overhanging Horse Chestnut tree from the top down swiftly and without damage to surrounding fences or shrubbery. All debris was removed, and the site left clean and tidy. All in all, a painless experience!

Reduced the height of an ever growing eucalyptus tree; trimmed an old yew tree; cut back an old conifer; trimmed a large holly bush and removed a long dead tree stump at front of house by driveway entrance. All done by Paul Searle and his team (3). This was the first time I had used his services. I wish I had in the past! He has been in this area for some 25 years! He gave a proper- written quotation plus a two page list of terms and conditions.

I have used them several times to fell trees and to trim them. They are most reliable and courteous, quote reasonable firm prices confirmed in writing, do an excellent job and leave the site clean and tidy. Very well equipped. A pleasure to find such professional people in a business densely populated with cowboys!
