Tree felling of 8 Leylandii.

Sam and his colleague, professional, absolutely lovely, well mannered natured men! So pleased with their workmanship. From the estimate to date job taken place (within a week). Sam always kept strictly to his appointment time, so there was no hanging around. Sam also tidied my willow tree, which was not in the estimate, but ask for as a just job and it was not problem at all. They tidied up after themselves and I had a lovely clean garden! I would definitely strongly recommend Sam and his team for being so professional. Just a little tip, Sam is partial to a cup peppermint tea (only) :) fortunately for Sam I had some in my cupboard.

Fell Eucalyptus and smaller conifers, remove waste leaving logs.

Excellent, methodical work performed cheerfully and quickly! Excellent attention to safety and site left very tidy indeed - and I know how hard that is to do at the end of the job! As a former owner of a tree work and gardening business, I cannot recommend Sam highly enough for his professionalism and helpfulness. Thanks Sam (and Tom)!

Hedge halved in height.

Very happy with the work undertaken. The hedge is very neat and much easier to manage now that its been cut down to half the original height. Mr Ford took the garden refuse away and the price was very reasonable. I didn't have to wait long form the work to be done. He checked the hedge before phoning with the quote which saved time and returned a few days later when I was able to be in at the weekend. Highly recommend Sam Ford.

Digger work, major water leak.

Major water leak on the farm. It was impossible to tell where it was, the only clue we had was a huge water bill. So after a long process of digging holes to locate the pipe and using specialist tools to locate the leak it was found in a garden. Another hole was dug and the pipe was finally fixed. This was all done on a Sunday as two houses were with out water. Job well done many thanks. Will call be calling Sam again if we need him.
