   We were delighted with the work undertaken by Ben and Milo. Ben halved our Sycamore tree, hawthorn tree and they cut back the Hazel hedge. All cleared away. So professionally done. We will definitely recommend Ben as a tree surgeon.

   Great service, contacted then about sorting out tree that has a TPO on it.

They put in the planning application for just £60, and did the work to a very good and quick standard.

Very impressed, thanks very much will be using again when my tree needs further work.

   Cut down an apple tree for me. They were very professional, on time and efficient.

They left my garden and home extremely tidy and even swept my front garden (that attention to detail and kind gesture left me with a smile)
