2 Trees Felled, Trimming.

From initial consultation to finished job, Tim and crew were very polite and professional. The tree work was carried out very professionally and they took great care not to damage surrounding planting. They cleaned away debris and saw dust such that you could not tell there had been any disturbance. We would thoroughly recommend Active Tree Care and will use them for all our tree works from now on. Many thanks to Tim and Crew.
