Reviews

Howe tree surgery we’re great, I had a standard tree stump that needed grinding and they were more than happy to help! Craig provided great customer service and did a great job, leaving the area clean and tidy after he finished. Would recommend there services to anyone needing it.

Craig and his team did an excellent job of felling a large ash tree and holly. They are experts at their work and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

-Ziggy Samler

-Simon Grindrod

I have had the pleasure of using Craig's. Tree surgery services on several occasions over the past few years and have been more than satisfied with the work. The service is first class. Richard from Ash

-richard clement

We have used Howe Tree Surgery services on a few occasions before. They have always provided an excellent service, completing the work as requested in a professional manner, with minimal fuss and mess. And tidying up afterwards. This time, in response to a fallen tree from recent storms, the standard was no different. They attended within 2 days of request, and completed the work to same high standard.

-Kathryn Brown

I found Craig by chance when I saw him doing some work on my neighbour's tree so I walked over and kindly asked him for a quote to remove 4 elm trees that was in front of my house. He spoke to me in a friendly and professional manner and his quote was very reasonable. He turned up on time with his colleague and did a fantastic job. I was very impressed how they cleaned everything up afterwards and not making a single mess. I would definitely recommend Craig to anyone who wants tree surgery services in the local area, and I would definitely use Craig again.

-Leon Yau

Very professional, good standard of health & safety, all left tidy. Very pleased S Matthews

-Matthews Electrical

It's rare to find a tradesperson who turns up when expected. Craig was on time on both occasions he was due. He and Phil clearly carried out the work professionally and safely, in difficult circumstances removing two 50 foot trees in an awkward position. after completion, they cleaned up, leaving everything as tidy as they found it. Start to finish professional service. Thank you. highly recommended.

-Paul Clarke

Fantastic job! Craig was very efficient, removing a fir tree from our garden that had got out of hand. The whole area was left very tidy and with the stump also removed I can start redesigning and planting very soon. It was a good job well done and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Thank you Craig.
