What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Consistency in the quality of pruning, pollarding and crown reduction work stands out across feedback for this Glasgow-based tree surgeon operating from Queensborough Gardens. Tom is named in nearly every account, with clients praising his knowledge, clear explanations before work begins and willingness to advise on the right approach for a given tree rather than simply carrying out what was originally requested.

Jobs mentioned include pruning cherry and silver birch trees overhanging busy roads, pollarding willows, felling large ash trees section by section, and removing a cherry tree situated close to a house. Several accounts note that gardens and driveways are left spotless after debris is cleared, with several noting that no trace of the work remained beyond the improved trees themselves. Pricing is described as reasonable and communication as prompt, with quotes typically following soon after initial contact.

The team's careful handling of climbing and cutting work near buildings and busy roads is also noted favourably, along with a friendly, down-to-earth manner on site. With availability extending into the evening every day of the week and Sunday hours running from mid-morning to early evening, scheduling appears straightforward for households across the city needing anything from light pruning to full tree removal.

Excellent service from Tom and his team. I had two Willow trees pollarded. Not the biggest job in the world, but a quick response to my request. Best of all, very reasonably priced, for a very professional job. Very tidy workers too.

They removed the cherry tree that was really close to our house. It involved climbing up and chopping it down piece by piece. The guys did an absolutely amazing job. Highly recommended!

Tom and his team arrived on time to remove two large conifers from my garden today . They quickly made the area safe for other residents , then super efficiently removed both conifers . They made it look effortless ! One of the conifers had five large trunks but that was not a problem. I can’t rate Tom and his team highly enough, they were polite, respectful and professional . Happy to answer any questions and reassuring about trees being removed. The work was carried out to the highest standards. Even before Tom carried out the work , he had enquired to the council , ensuring there were no issues in the trees being removed. He gave advice on replanting and best nurseries to visit and source plants . From start to finish an outstanding service. Thank you Tom and your team Margaret⭐️

Engaged Tom and his team to: Remove several mature Leylandii Cypress trees (55 years old) which were in close proximity to my shed, my garage and my neighbour’s garden room . Reduce the height of a mature Leylandii hedge (35 years old). Reduce the height of a mature (55 years old) beech hedge. Tom and his team made a superb job of every aspect of the work, arriving in good time and working tirelessly and methodically to achieve a result which, frankly, exceeded my expectations. The area in which the work was carried out was left spotless All in all, a great experience. Would I recommend GTS? Absolutely…without hesitation.

An exemplary experience with Tom at GTS, removing three trees growing dangerously close to our new flat- great communications, a clear and comprehensive specification of work to be carried out was supplied when quoting, and the work was carried out quickly and to a high standard, and the area left in good condition afterwards. All in all, great stuff!
