Phil significantly reduced the size of a very large holly hedge in my garden to manageable proportions. He was very capable and professional, arriving promptly at the agreed time and working very efficiently despite the very cold and wet conditions. When the job was completed on the following day, he left the garden in very neat and tidy state. His charge for doing this work was very reasonable, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other people.

Phil was recommended to us and we’d used him for a job before. He gave a quote in advance, arrived on time to do the job, and I was very pleased with the result – he tidied everything before leaving including some areas he wasn’t responsible for. He was very flexible and carried out all of the work to a very high standard. Thoroughly recommended!

Phil agreed to cut down a large tree in our back garden only a day after we first approached him and he was punctual to the second on both occasions. We are really impressed with his work ethic and high standards and we are especially appreciative of his speedy response, having been severely let down by someone else not long ago. We will definitely recommend his service and use him again – in fact we are looking forward to having him help us plant a new tree in the near future! Thank you Phil.

PJC Trees came yesterday to bring my hawthorns under control. They are horrible trees to work with but Phil and his colleague arrived on time and carried out the work in a thoroughly professional manner. They were polite, respectful of my property, friendly and happy to give advice. They cleaned up after them leaving my paths possibly cleaner than before they arrived. Also I should add that their prices are very reasonable. The only sign that they have been is that my trees are now a manageable size and cut to a very pleasing shape. I will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
