Branching Out Oxford
What customers say
On Lytton Road in Oxford, this arborist service has built a strong reputation for tree felling, crown reduction, pollarding, pruning and stump grinding across a wide range of garden settings. Recurring feedback highlights the careful removal of large or decayed trees, including beech, willow and magnolia specimens, with particular praise for the way oversized hedges, such as a seven-metre Leylandii boundary, are brought back under control over several days of sustained work. Clients repeatedly note the team's safety-conscious approach to high rope work and rigging near buildings and boundaries, along with the use of proper protective equipment and a wood chipper for efficient debris clearance. A detail many reviews return to is the thoroughness of the clean-up afterwards, with gardens and yards left tidy and all cuttings removed, sometimes chopped into logs on request. Punctuality and hard work throughout the day, even in warm weather, are mentioned consistently, alongside clear and reasonable quotes agreed before jobs begin. Many customers describe returning for repeat work over several years, citing consistent standards from the same small team. Advice on whether to fell or retain a tree, particularly where trunks show signs of decay, is also valued. The business operates weekdays from nine until five, serving both residential gardens and shared spaces between neighbouring properties across Oxford.

I was really pleased with Dan's service. He removed a tree and trimmed another. He was very efficient and cleaned up nicely. Very pleasant to deal with. His charge was reasonable for the quality of his work. Highly recommended.
Great service from Dan! Quick response to initial query, arrived exactly on time for the job, very neat and tidy job grinding out our tree stumps. Friendly and professional service throughout and the price was very reasonable. Will definitely use again. Highly recommended 👍
Dan dealt with our garden query very professionally. His quote for removing trees from our garden was very competitive. Left the site neat and tidy after finish. I will highly recommend Dan for garden services.
I would highly recommend Branching Out, Dan is great guy, very friendly, very hardworking, cleaned up afterwards, Also best quote I had. Fantastic job, cheers Dan.
Dan took on a number of tree jobs including high rope work, lopping, shaping, pruning, felling and stump grinding. All work completed to an excellent standard, on schedule and at a very reasonable price. He and his hardworking assistant took away all waste generated and left the garden looking lovely and tidy. Second time we have used Branching Out and certainly not the last!
Dan and Rich provided a top-notch service with a smile (and a laugh). Very professional and safety conscious. We didn't want any injury risk, so called the pros, but they were also great value for money. We'd have no hesitation recommending their service.
A prompt very supportive experience from viewing and receiving the quote to the actual job! The lads arrived promptly with impressive chipper and wearing all the safety gear! They worked hard effectively as a team, one up the tree, removing the branches and the other removing the debris and using the chipper. They reduced a large magnolia heightwise, managing to retain the shape, removed all the dead leaves from a palm tree and finally reduced a hazelnut tree height wise. I am thrilled with the outcome- it has reintroduced the light and space into the garden again! All the small debris was removed using a blower so a very efficient tidy up afterwards! A very rewarding experience throughout for the customer! Highly recommended and I would use them again without hesitation!
