    The Arbor Barber trimmed our out-of-control Laurel trees, and a couple of other trees I could no longer reach. They were efficient, skilled and tidied up behind themselves. I would recommend them to anyone needing tree work done.

    We have used The Arbor Barber for many years and I can’t praise him enough. Iain consistently does an excellent job! The trees always look so natural when he has finished…just smaller. He listens carefully to what you want and always gives excellent advise.

    First time we have used Iain but will definitely do so again. Polite, efficient and knowledgeable service - focusing on what was best for us and the tree. Iain and a colleague carried out some renovation pruning on our old and badly overgrown but much loved apple tree. Great communication and a reasonable price.

    Polite and very efficient job done. Happy to discuss work done and advice given about trees and when to prune(not every year, so not pushy for repeat work) Trees looked natural afterwards not like lollipop. Will use again
