Consultancy

The Living Forest Limited

The Living Forest have carried all the tree work here ( our home ) for over twenty years.  We have always found Mick Lott and his team colleagues to be very, very good in every respect.  The work they did on the 16th of August was no exception.  In the Autumn after leaf fall there are two other sections of trees to be reduced and we will automatically ask The Living Forest to do the work.

To reduce in height a row of leylandii trees.

The team were very helpful, considerate and did an excellent job with the trees.  They sorted all the necessary permissions, and as well as the felling/pruning of the trees they cleared up everything all the debris and left the garden looking tidy.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.  They are expert at what they do and very personable too.

Prune/fell diseased/dead trees

This is the second time I have used The Living Forest.  No job is too big or too small and the team work efficiently and effectively to complete the job.  Communication is good throughout and the work on site is completed without incident.  Both jobs have included the removal of very large trees and on both occasions I have been approached by neighbours who have wanted to express how considerate the attending team has been and how they have made a point of clearing wood chips from their adjoining properties.  Simply wouldn't use anybody else now.

Assess and remove diseased tree with a TPO.  Prune a 40+ foot monkey puzzle tree.

Excellent - super tidy, friendly and knowledgeable.

Significant reduction of diseased tree with TPO

Very reassuring advice and work done carefully and with minimum mess.

Significant reduction in large beech tree under TPO affected by fungus.

Can not fault the service we received from this company from out initial enquiry through obtaining initial advice, the quote for the work, the work itself and subsequent invoicing.  We wil use The Living Forest again in the future.
