  Tree cutting down and killing off tree and removal of branches

  Dan came to cut down tree and helped to accommodate this given the various other works we had and his vehicle not working. However not sure if he did anything to kill off tree. Communication was unclear. Tree branches were not removed as they had problems with their vehicle so they would come back another time. After chasing continuously, we were then told they had some personal reasons and so would come back at a later date. Eventually I was then told this would be an additional charge. For future clients ensure the works are clearly documented and not just over the phone.

  Response from D. Nicholls ARB Limited

  Thank you for your review. We are disappointed, particularly as this is our first negative review in eight years on Checkatrade. The job was arranged at short notice with the price agreed. Unfortunately, both vehicles broke down and our main climber suffered an eye injury, preventing him from working for two weeks. We agreed to return, but access was blocked by building works not previously disclosed. We made several attempts to resolve matters by phone and email without response. We accept communication could have been clearer and will document agreed works and costs more explicitly in future

  Tree & Stump Removal

  David gave a very fair quote in comparison to other local businesses. He was friendly and punctual and got the job done in very good time. We had two trees removed and five tree stumps ground out and his team took away a lot of green waste from our garden. We would use him again and would highly recommend him.

  Excellent tree trimming

  Dan and his team came to cut back a number of trees and bushes. The quote was reasonable, communication was good, the work done was exactly as described, and they cleaned up nicely as well. I will definitely be using them again, thank you

  Tackling neglected overgrown laurels and rhodos

  Dan was very professional and prompt in delivering not just his quotation but also in his site visit and his perspective on a much neglected and very overgrown laurel and rhododendron area. He and his team cut out and cut back the tangle of ivy and brambles, cut back and pruned the remaining trees and ground out the stumps of those that had been cut down. All waste was removed and the area tidied up. Communication throughout was excellent. Many thanks Dan for a job well done.
