Nothing but wonderful things to say about Ian. He confirmed our appt the day before, took time to understand what I wanted from my tree shaping. He is more a tree artist and sculptor than just a guy with shears. He takes time to look at the shape of your tree, and how it fits within your outdoor space as well as what you’re poking for. Seriously, he’s as good with trees as top hair salons are with hair. Also cleaned up beautifully afterwards. I’ve now got Ian listed as my go to tree surgeon. He’s awesome! More...

Tree Surgery & Removal

Very well qualified, skilled and personable young tree surgeon and arboriculturalist. Assessed and solved my problem with large prunus "tree of concern" in garden, rotten, dropping branches, and a threat to my own and neighbouring property. Removed the tree safely, and ensured sections of wood and all brushwood carefully removed through house. Floors and walls protected. Site completely tidied up afterwards. Competitive quote. Highly recommended. More...

Tree Surgery & Removal

Ian was prompt in communicating, gave a great quote and a date locked in within a few simple, concise messages back and forth. He came two days later to cut down a 5 metre tree in our backyard and cut down two smaller maples and trim hedges and a smaller tree back. Ian arrived bang on time, was efficient and did an amazing job - all in an impressive turnaround. What I thought was going to multiple calls, quotes and conversations turned out to be an absolute breeze with Ian, he was professional and to the point and most importantly, did a fantastic job. I can't recommend him enough, would give him 6 stars if I could and will hire him the moment we need an arborist again. Thank you Ian! You're a gem mate! More...

Tree Surgery & Removal

Okay - so. There are people who call themselves tree surgeons, but they are really more like tree butchers, who make you feel you wish you had never hired them. ..and then there are Tree ARTISTS, who know exactly how to sympathetically prune, reduce and shape your trees, without making it look like somebody had their chainsaw possessed by the devil, and hacked the thing to all hell.

Ian is definitely a tree ARTIST, and he is a Master. We had this MASSIVE overgrown Elder and every time we have had it cut back by other tree surgeons, it looked terrible. Ian however, made the tree look fantastic, and now really appropriately sized for our garden!

Not only this, Ian, on his own time visited the property multiple times leading up to the day of the job, to check if there were no more birds in the tree and therefore safe to proceed without harming the wildlife. Ian even arranged all the parking himself.

Beyond spectacular service.

Highly, highly recommend, and you are in such good hands with Ian.

Very good experience. Quick to repond, visited to check the work needed and to quote. Our large tree on the Monday and completed removing the tree that day. Very careful to protect other plants where possible and in clearing up. Pleasant to work with. We highly recommend him. More...

Ian did a fantastic job cutting down 1 tree and trimming 3 huge ones. We were very happy with the outcome and it wasn’t an easy job to sort out. The outcome was much better than we ever expected. Most definitely because Ian knows exactly what he’s doing. Excellent knowledge in trees and tree care. Will definitely be recommending him to friends and for sure using him again. He is also a really nice guy. More...

So professional and polite. Gave me a straight answer right away and was honest enough to let me know I didn’t need to cut the tree down (as I had been told by other people). Recommend him to anyone for all your tree needs, he is knowledgable and very professional. More...

Q&As

I have always had a love of trees, nature and wood. I grew up in rural north Devon where my parents were farmers, my father formerly a hedge layer. Here I spent most of my time at home in the woods amongst the trees and I think I keep a link to my early years there through Tree surgery.

I have worked in and around north and east London as a climbing arborist for 9 years. For me taking on my own work has been the logical culmination of that experience.

I lead all the works personally whether that is on a delicate pruning job or a huge sectional dismantle. I’m keen to build up a good reputation and keep clients happy.
