Speak to Steve Arnold at Tree Solutions.

I don't speak to anyone who uses the word "solutions" in his business name. So there.....smile
This is generally a very good rule to live by, although you'd hope in this scenario the word 'tree' that prefixes it undoes all of the potential doom.

It's certainly a word that conjures images of a condescending ponce with either a beard or a polo neck (age dependent generally), turning up with a tablet and banging on about diversification reports, holistic impacts, 5 way solutions, system protocols etc and leave you with a £30k invoice and 5 untouched trees that haven't even been looked at. biggrin

I agree with you on the name, I don’t like solutions in a name as it seemed like a few years back that everyone was trying to put solution in here name. It’s quite a saturated market in that area with a lot of Tree surgeons avaliable to quote for work but I could count on one hand who I would recommend to quite for work.

I don't know if they are still as good as they used to be, but everybody I know in Fleet used Cedardale 10 years ago or so and rated them highly.

They had a price tag associated with the quality of service so worth a quote from them, likely to be top end for the job. At least then you know if the other quotes are in any way reasonable.

Not knowing who you’ve contacted already, I know two who I would recommend in the Camberley area.
