Talking Elm Tree Services
What customers say
Efficient teamwork and clear communication stand out across accounts of jobs handled by this Helena Road firm. Several clients recall dealing with Cara for quotes and scheduling, while Larry and Sam are named repeatedly for the practical work, from felling dead or diseased trees and dismantling tall conifers and a substantial leylandii to removing stumps by grinding and clearing overgrown garden bushes with roots included. Crews are consistently described as arriving on time and completing tasks within a reasonable timeframe, often just a couple of hours for stump and tree removal. A point raised more than once is the tidiness left behind, with cuttings, branches and root debris cleared so that lawns and borders are left clean. Pricing is mentioned as competitive by more than one household, including cases where neighbours shared the cost of removing a large conifer together. Beyond straightforward felling, reviewers note thoughtful canopy reduction carried out sympathetically to preserve the shape of mature trees, along with guidance on ongoing care for garden specimens such as maples. One account also highlights care taken around nesting birds during a larger clearance. With hours running from early morning to late evening every day of the week, including weekends, scheduling around client availability appears straightforward for this Norwich-based operation.

Used this service to remove a large dead tree and some stumps on a new property we bought - good price and happy with the outcome. Removed all waste and left everything tidy. Nice guys 👍
Everyone at Talking Elm Tree Services has been great. Good communication, punctual, and lovely people. Highly recommend!
Talking Elm provided a very professional and excellent service. Great advice to help reduce the canopy of multiple trees in a sympathetic and conservative way. We are very pleased with the results.
The team removed an old tree and ground down a large stump. I am very happy with the result. Communication was clear from quote to invoice. They arrived on time and finished within a couple of hours. They left the area clean and tidy. I would highly recommend them.
Larry and his team took down a 20m leylandii for me and a neighbour. Communication was good, the price was very competitive and the work was excellent. Would 100% recommend them.
Very good and friendly service, used them to cut down our cherry tree. Arrived on time did the job efficiently with minimum fuss, would highly recommend.
Talking Elm has been excellent in all parts of our job. The job covered felling multiple trees, deadwood and dangerous branches with TPOs involved. Larry was informative and helpful in providing options and advise. During the works the entire team worked hard and finished spot on time. Additionally all members were welcoming and sweet to our families interest in the work, and were particularly sweet with our child. I’m very happy to have found talking elm and will use them for all and any future work. Thank you all!
