I usually do most things myself and not get trades in, reluctantly asked Mark to completely remove a line of dead hedges. He quickly quote 120, came a day later to remove them and get his money . Not until afterwards I noticed the stumps and rootballs were covered in soil so I dug them up in a half hour and let him know, asked when he can come take them away. Weeks of chasing him he'd still not taken them away but gave an excuse, a few weeks more I've bagged them and took them to the tip myself. Any future customers I suggest check his work and don't pay before you're sure. Fairly reliable to get a quick payment but not reliable to complete a job fully. More...

Said he would come to do a quote on saturday. Text to say he might be late or could do sunday. We replied that was fine but heard nothing and waited in all weekend and he never showed. We were livid but needed the work doing asap so reluctantly Rang him on the monday and he came straight out for a quote - brilliant! Arranged for 9am wednesday £160 to cut the hedge. At 13:30 he text to say he wouldn't be coming - no explanation why. We told him to forget it. Totally unfair as that is 3 days wasted stuck in the house and no work was done. If you don't want the money that is fine but to let people hang on waiting all day - and silence phone notifications (iphone told us he had) is not professional at all. More...

They arranged an appointment to give me a quote for the work we wanted doing but unfortunately they didn't turn up or call to give a reason
Reply from Cotfield Hedgeworks
Hi Doreen, I've just had a look and your right, I did send a message offering to come and give you a quote. My apologies for getting in touch, i do make a habit of calling my clients when I get the requests, of which 50% ish usually get picked up. It may have been that after a message and a phone call I've not wanted to chase you too much!? I really do appreciate the feedback, and I'll make sure a written message is sent in future. I'd be happy to discount a job with 15% off, as a gesture of apology. Mark Cotfield Hedgeworks

Tree Surgery & Removal
The day he was scheduled to take the trees out it poured with rain all day. He turned up at 4 o/c to start the job by himself, I questioned him completing the job that day by himself, I wasn't happy him doing it, but he worked like a Trojan & did it, but I'd have been happier had he had help. Good luck to him
Reply from Cotfield Hedgeworks
Hi Terry, it was one of those where I had organised the stump grinder and having re-shcedualling too many jobs around that time due to weather / logistics, I just had to bite the bullet and crack on. So apologies for the speedy job and thanks for the review/feedback. Mark

Fantastic affordable service from a hardworking team led by Mark. Manage to tame my hedges, which had become jungles in their own right. The finished results frame our garden wonderfully and I would (and will) use Mark again in the future. Attention to every detail, including the clean up, polite and professional, cant ask for more. Highly recommend and happy to act as a reference for Mark's work :-) More...

Mark did an excellent job and went above and beyond. Our hedge had reached heights of around 12ft and he tackled it really well and took all the mess away.
We ended up giving him a little bit more than we agreed because we were so happy with the work
Would absolutely recommend him!

What do you love most about your job?
I enjoy helping people get more enjoyment from their garden.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I enjoy dealing with people and also nature. I had previously
worked for Ferel Tree Works since 2010 under the guidance of Arborist Peter Bedford. He suggested I start when he emigrated to Melbourne, Australia as he saw the potential for me to create a small business.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me as I'm present at every job, and my main aim is to achieve exactly what a client wants at a fair and transparent price. We also have a social and environmental policy which supports the local community as much as possible.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
It is possible to ball park a job price however, in my experience, a quick visit makes everything much easier, as access and obstacles can be taken into account.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We have masks, and can easily social distance during our quotes and work days.
Tree pruning
Reduction of overall height and width of a tree, often termed as a ‘third off’ generally depending on the tree species left til later in the year.
Hedge reduction
This process usually involves a chainsaw as mature hedges can end up too thick for hedge cutters. We can undertake this work on small privet hedges all the way upto huge rows of conifers.
General tidy up
This is very commonly requested service where we tend to everything, from lawn cutting and edging, beds weeded and dug over. Plants deadheaded and pruned. Hedges trimmed and treework if necessary.
