We had one tree cut down, bushes cut back and a very high and difficult-to-reach ivy hedge trimmed neatly into a straight line. The team were brilliant; very punctual, tidy and polite and they did an excellent, professional job. Highly recommended.
One tree was felled, two pruned and large hedges cut back, all done neatly, quickly and exactly to my specifications. Everything was tidied away afterwards. I am more than happy with the result, and would definitely recommend this company.
They turned up on time and did a good job. They were polite, professional and left the place tidy. Would recommend.
Arrived on time, friendly professional team, did the job quickly, safely at height and went to considerable trouble to reduce any damage to plants or garden pots, ornaments etc. Left site cleared and tidy. Value for money. What more would you want ?
Thoroughly professional service from start to finish. Used on numerous occasions and never dissatisfied!
Very neat work. Professional and safe. We were happy with the quote. We had asked instead of grinding the root to put plugs in and were a little surprised that this was not included as the surveyor had suggested it during his visit
Down to Earth completed a neat and efficient tree/hedge trim and cleared up well afterwards. Excellent customer service too. Will use again and have recommended to neighbours.
As usual, the service provided by Down To Earth was excellent - the young lads were friendly and efficient.
First class service by a hard working and polite team
This is the second year in a row that we have used Down To Earth Trees for our hedge cutting. Their workmanship is exceptional and very professional. The cutting of the hedges was precise and they were very efficient in both the cutting and clearing up which was all done to a very high standard. We shall use them again without hesitation.
