Remove and dispose of two large trees from back garden
From first contact and completion of job very professional and just fantastic service at a very reasonable price have no problem in strongly recommending you use him if you need a tree surgeon as I know you will be as I was delighted with his services
Felled one huge sycamore and halved the size of three others.
Absolutely fantastic job! Arrived on Monday with 3 solid days of felling and pruning. There must have been 5 tonnes of lumber on the floor when completed - all managed with care to protect our garden. Worked flat out for 3 days - very happy to recommend Martin to anyone needing a tree surgeon - a true professional.
Removalmof two large cypress trees that fell on house during the Storm.
Lots of thanks to Martin and the guys, great, tidy job, would not hesitate to recommend. Really helped reduce the stress of dealing with all the mess/chaos after the storm.
Removing and pruning large trees
The guys from Greener Glens did a fantastic job. They advised on the best approach for what we wanted done. The work was done quickly and cleanly at a very good price. Very knowledgeable folk.
Remove large sycamore and 3 other trees that had grown too large, shaping the remaining spruce.
Martin and his team were extremely professional in tackling this tricky job. The two gardens were surrounded by telephone wires. He used climbing ropes /safery gear and dismantled the trees methodically. All waste was chipped and tree stumps removed as instructed. The job took a little longer than anticipated but quote remained the same. After the job was completed they tidied up the area and you would never have known they were there. If you want a professional outfit then id highly recommend them.
Removal of conifer trees
Hired Martin to remove several conifer trees from the front garden. He told me exactly what he was going to do, and how long it would take. He gave me a written quote so I knew how much it would cost, and that's how much I paid. No hidden costs. When it came to clearing up he went above and beyond. He did a great job and I can't recommend him highly enough.
