Our process begins with a site visit, allowing an arborist to inspect the tree(s), understand the setting and discuss your concerns or objectives. This helps us identify any constraints and recommend a proportionate, well-considered approach.
You’ll then receive a clear written quotation outlining the proposed work and any relevant considerations. When work is carried out, our team works efficiently and with care, ensuring the site is left clean, tidy and well managed on completion.
We place strong emphasis on providing clear, honest advice. During your initial consultation in Greenwich, we’ll explain the options available and the likely outcomes, helping you make an informed decision about your trees.
