Replaced tree.
A non-native tree was removed, and a new native tree supplied and planted.
We are very pleased with the work done. All the staff are helpful, polite, professional, and very knowledgable. The work is done well, and the site is left tidy.

How reassuring when you know where to go !
As a long time customer of this company I know exactly what standard to expect. Always first class. The work on this occasion was carried out in appalling conditions.

They were cheerful polite and professional, a credit to the company ! Thank you.
