Trident Tree Works - York Tree Surgeons
What customers say
A strong emphasis on tidiness after tree work stands out across the feedback for this Water Lane firm, with customers describing gardens and paths left with barely a trace that work had taken place. Chris is named repeatedly as heading a team that removes large trees, including a silver birch and a substantial specimen in a front garden, often completing sizeable jobs within a single day despite wet or windy conditions. Pollarding of an ash affected by dieback and pruning of established trees without compromising their health are both mentioned, alongside careful handling of council permissions where properties sit within a conservation area. Communication ahead of appointments is described as clear, quotes are given after an initial visit, and the crew is consistently described as polite, professional and careful around surrounding plants and property. Competitive pricing is raised by more than one customer, and repeat recommendations feature strongly throughout the feedback. Punctuality and efficiency are noted too, with teams of three or more working together to bring down large specimens and clear debris the same day. The company operates every day of the week without fixed hours, and its base on Water Lane in York serves gardens across the surrounding area.

The Trident team pruned trees and bushes in my York garden. They did an excellent job: they were competent, efficient and quick -- and very friendly besides. Very good cleanup after the pruning. I recommend them to everyone.
Highly recommend Trident Trees. Chris was quick to respond and came out to view before giving a quote. The job was done quickly and professionally with all waste taken away. Chris was friendly and easy to work with. Will definitely use them again
Chris and his team at Trident Trees have been amazing. From the first assessment visit to sweeping up the last leaves when the job was done. They are organised, professional, skilled, approachable and patient and they were careful of their surroundings. Chris also applied to the council for permission as we live in a conservation area Can’t recommend them highly enough Thank you Chris and team
Chris & his team are brilliant - they arrived today, exactly when they said they would & did a great job of removing a tree and clearing some very overgrown, dense bushes from our garden. They left everywhere completely tidy, were so friendly and helpful & I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again & recommend them to others. Thanks so much, guys. (The biscuits are also such a lovely touch)! We really appreciate the great service.
Chris and the team turned up very promptly and did a really excellent job removing a conifer trunk. They were polite and respectful and took away all the debris. Highly recommended. Thank you all very much.
Tree Works staff were all punctual, polite, informative, very helpful, tidy and skilled at removing a large tree from our border. They worked with expertise, strength, are well equipped and showed great care for everyone's safety. I had watched one of their staff at work in a neighbouring garden lop and remove a huge tree. I was so impressed by this example that I asked them to quote for our medium sized dead tree. I recommend them on the basis of this experience and with our well deserved thanks for a difficult job very well done.
Chris and the team are great! I had a quote within 24 hours, and the work was done same day to a top standard. Really friendly team and will definitely contact again in the future.
