What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Edinburgh Tree Surgeons carries out tree removal, pruning and stump grinding as well as broader garden work, and the feedback from customers consistently highlights the skill and conduct of the team. Several reviewers describe Alan as approachable and helpful when planning jobs, from assessing an overgrown back garden to arranging the removal of a large ash or pear tree, and his crews are regularly praised for working efficiently in confined spaces such as tenement back greens.

Reviewers frequently point to punctuality, with teams arriving when promised and clearing all debris from gardens, paths and roadsides before leaving. Knowledge and advice come up often, particularly around shaping tall bay, yew and Scots pine, removing a Leylandii hedge and mulching with leftover chippings. Customers also value the free quoting process and the speed from first contact to completion, with one job finished in a single day and another in under a week. Communication with Alan, a polite and good-humoured manner, and a willingness to return for further hedge or garden work round off the accounts.

I needed ivy removed from the house wall and on top of a conservatory plus cut back on the fence. Alan was quick to visit and quoted a very reasonable price. The work was carried out a few days later and the guys worked hard and were all lovely. It was all cut away neatly and no damage to the wall, neatly bagged up and areas brushed clean. Other companies I had contacted before either didn’t turn up or quoted exorbitant prices. Edinburgh gardening services charged a very reasonable price rate. I’d like to thank Vikkie too for all the prompt telephone and email queries she was very helpful. Thanks again everyone.

This was a great service. I needed some bamboo removed from my garden. The guys were knowledgeable, friendly, efficient. I had checked other companies and some were quoting £400 plus VAT just to come out to do a ‘survey’. Edinburgh Tree Surgeons gave a free quote which was far below that, even with a couple of other jobs added in. From first contact to job done was less than a week. Highly recommended…

We needed a large old pear tree removed, it had BT wire going through the branches. They were a happy bunch including a happy wee dug! The even left me the branch chippings to mulch the rest of the garden. Will be getting them back to remove some large hedges.

Really friendly guys, great job done and incredibly quickly. Only enquired last week and full job done within 5 days. Loads had to be carried through the house and they were very careful with the walls etc. Highly recommend.

The guys from Edinburgh Tree Surgeons did a brilliant job of removing a huge Leylandii hedge from my garden and grinding down the stumps.They are very professional : skilled, safe, punctual, polite and friendly. They took everything away leaving the garden, path and roadside clear of all debris. I would definitely use Edinburgh Tree Surgeons again and highly recommend them.
