Arbor Vitae Tree Care
What customers say
On Leybourne Avenue in Bournemouth, Arbor Vitae Tree Care has built a strong reputation for hedge reduction, tree felling, crown work and stump removal handled by Peter and his team. Homeowners in several reviews describe consistently prompt arrivals, fair and competitive quotes agreed before work begins, and jobs completed within a single day even when weather or parked cars complicated access. Reviews regularly refer to how carefully the crew work near garages, trellises and other buildings, avoiding any damage to surrounding structures while taking down large trees or topping overgrown holly and hedges. Thorough clean-up afterwards is a point that comes up often, with gardens and driveways left spotless rather than strewn with cuttings and branches. Clients who have returned for repeat work over several years highlight the reliability of the service and the friendly, polite manner of the team on site. One customer noted the crew brought all the latest equipment and worked efficiently through difficult conditions, while another praised how changes to the brief were accommodated without disrupting the schedule. Pricing is frequently described as reasonable given the scale of jobs undertaken, from full hedge reductions to removing mature trees close to buildings. The business operates weekdays from half past seven in the morning until half past five, with Bournemouth clients able to book quotes and site visits within that window.

Fabulous company! Peter has taken down a number of trees for me now, including topping a very tall hedge and he is very reliable and accomodating with very competitive and fair pricing. They clear away really well and leave the place clean and tidy. Would highly recommend!
Great service from Peter and the team
I contacted Peter at Arbor Vitae because our hedges were overgrown and needed a significant reduction in both height and width that was beyond what I could do. He arranged a time to come to look at the job and arrived when he said he would and provided a quote which we were happy with. His team arrived promptly on the day that had been agreed and did a very good job. They were very tidy and cleaned up everything before they left. The hedges are now much more manageable for me to give them a trim when needed.
Absolutely amazing work!! Not only was the result perfect, but Pete, Sam and James were fantastic to work with. My mum isn’t easily impressed but she was singing their praises after the job. The work ethic from this team is incredible - they got everything done within the day even after making changes and it was executed perfectly. Cut was exactly as asked, clean up was great, and pricing is competitive. Further, and probably the most notable, was their character - professional, kind, considerate - went above and beyond for my mum. I am very grateful to the team and look forward to using their services again in future, highly recommend and will be recommending to all friends/family/neighbours!
They did a great job of taking a large tree completely down and taking 30 feet off the top of another. Both were near garages and other buildings but this was not a problem for them. They were on time, professional and left the garden spotless. I would definitely recommend them.
I've used Arbor Vitea for many years. Great service good price and always fantastic results! Cheers Peter!
Arranging a quote was very easy and quick. We were booked in for a tree stump removal and trimming of a massive holly tree that hadn't been tended to in a many years. It was a full day's work and not only was the price great the team were efficient and brilliant in what was terrible weather and an even trickier job due to parked cars. We're very happy with the results!
