What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Residential garden and development projects across south London form the backdrop to this tree surgery work, and feedback consistently centres on jobs completed exactly as specified. Sycamores, damaged specimens and high branches overhanging boundary walls feature among the tasks described, with urgent removals handled carefully even where climbing was judged unsafe. The team, regularly named as Conrad, Max and Jesse, earns repeated praise for punctual arrivals, detailed quotations and responsive communication from first enquiry through to completion.

Reviewers frequently note the thorough clean-up, with cuttings carried out considerately and neighbouring areas left tidy, and several mention floor protection when access passes through a home. Advice on tree health and preservation comes up often, as does the reuse of chippings for mulching. Fair pricing relative to the amount of work involved is a further recurring theme, and one account describes a fence panel damaged during removal being replaced straight away without extra charge.

Repeat projects spanning several years point to dependable workmanship and a straightforward manner that customers find easy to deal with. Removals of multiple trees and shrubs, trimming back overgrown specimens and tackling challenging jobs near residential boundaries all appear in the accounts, alongside consistent mentions of friendly, hard-working crews who leave gardens and houses in a clean state once the saws are packed away.

I've used Tree surgeons in South London for several projects over the last 3 years. They were always extremely professional, hard working and left the property tidy. Doing a fantastic job with the health of the tree in mind. There isnt a bunch of better tree surgeons. Highly recommend!

Jesse and his team were faultless - they did the job so efficiently & left no mess whatsoever (unlike other local services I have used before!) and were very kind and attentive towards my requests for my garden which I am very precious about. Highly highly recommend!

Conrad and Max did a fantastic job bringing down a damaged tree. It was challenging as the tree was not safe enough to climb, but they managed it with real care. They cleaned up after the job immaculately. It was an urgent job and this company got back to me sooner than any other company with a quote that was half the price of other companies. It's no wonder they get five stars. Look no further for your tree needs!

Exceptional service from enquiry to quotation and delivery of works. The team are friendly, helpful and professional. Three trees removed from our mid-terrace back garden with ease and very impressed at how clean and tidy they were, ensuring our garden and house was left in a clean state. Great value and would definitely use again.

I can’t recommend this South London tree surgery team highly enough. They were prompt and professional from the first response, clearly knowledgeable, and incredibly meticulous in their work. Every detail was handled with care, and the site was left spotless. Above all, they were genuinely lovely people to work with; courteous, approachable, and a real pleasure to have around. Outstanding service from start to finish

Conrad and his team did a fantastic job – absolutely brilliant.
They cut back my huge sycamore tree exactly as I asked, with no issues at all. They cleaned up after themselves thoroughly and were incredibly kind and helpful throughout. All the cuttings were carefully taken through my new kitchen, with floors fully protected and nothing damaged. They also cleaned outside my house and even my neighbours’ areas before leaving.
