Removal of very tall/poor condition Cypress
We previously used Dave Ford to remove trees in our garden a few years back so asked them to come back and advise on a tree in our front garden with a TPO. They were great in submitting an application to council to remove it due to poor condition, which was accepted and they then returned to remove it, doing a great job and leaving the site clear and tidy. Can't wait for the new tree to be planted in a few weeks!

Have used DF many times
Have used DF many times since moving to Reigate. Apart from doing a great job - pruning our beloved apple tree - which went crazy this Autumn, and topping the conifers at the back of the garden, George, Taylor & Tate were really friendly, informative & easy to have around. They were dog aware & continued working despite some very heavy rain. All in all a job well done!🌳🌲🪵 👍🏻😊

We weren't happy with the overall job and found the workers very untidy. We spent all of Saturday clearing up branches from the ground. One side of the tree had not been reduced.

Morning Mrs Craughwell. I'm sorry to hear that you were not pleased with the works carried out recently. Did you contact the office to make us aware of this as we would have just arranged for the team to return if you were not happy? Is there anything still there that you need us to clear up and remove for you and I can arrange for this to be done so you are then happy with the works?
Kind Regards
Chris
The chaps turned up cheerfully on time
The chaps turned up cheerfully on time, asked a few pertinent questions and then carefully and competently got on with the job. cleared up after themselves and only needed tea as fuel. I would recommend Dave Ford Tree Care without hesitation.

Professional and Faultless
We have used Dave Ford now on two occasions for different work They are very professional. The staff who attended this year were exceptional, engaging with us to ensure the work was to our requirements and within the permits. I have to complement them that after a whole day on site with 5 staff they were very diligent and cleared up everything.

Friendly and professional team
Friendly and professional team. They did a great job in re-pollarding our willow tree which needed quite a bit of taking in hand. They have done work for us three times this year, and are always a pleasure to deal with.

Tree cutting
Guys were friendly. Just some feedback they could have let me know that they were leaving and could have cleared some of the off cuttings that is strewn at my rear and front of the property.
