Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Can anyone recommend a competent tree surgeon who doesn't charge the earth? I've just been quoted £350 + VAT for half a day's work.

they're the ones who quoted £350. 

Well, professionals don't come cheap.

Fair enough; and it may be I have to pay that much (or leave the tree unpruned).  But I do want to check first.  I don't have £350 readily available.

I don't know of anyone I'd recommend but a word of warning for when you look for someone.  Anyone can call themselves a 'tree surgeon' apparently.  Trading Standards will tell you it is an unregulated business at the moment.  If you go to the Arboricultural Association - www.trees.org.uk - you'll find a register of approved, qualified tree surgeons in the UK.  Best place to look, I would say.  But properly qualified TSs - who won't hack away indiscriminately at your lovely trees - are bound to cost a bit more than the bloke down the street with a rusty chainsaw!

I had a bloke come round a couple of years ago and after spending less than half an hour cutting back our eucalyptus tree (actually I think my wife said his lad did it" gave me a bill for over two hundred pounds.

"Greenscapes of N4" are very good and very reasonable too.

Thanks; I'll try them.

I know a couple of tree surgeons who will be a lot cheaper! What's the job? Give me a call. Simon

Hi simon, Could you provide me with the contact details too please - A neighbours large Ash needs removing, another neighbour needs an Ivy tree removed and dog roses cut back and I have a couple of Privet bushes that need removing and root ground out and a stump to be ground out too if possible.

Thanks

 

 

I know a good gardener who's a qualified tree surgeon. I have no idea what he would quote you, but his rates have seemed reasonable to me. PM me if you want his details.

Wow, sounds like a rip off to me. However, it mainly depends on the job. I had a few problems in my yard last year and these guys helped me a lot. The price was totally fair.

Yup, Imagine since your Twitter stream shows this is your company Pol, "these guys" helped you out a lot. (You tinka we wuza borna yesterday?)

Won't be using him then
