RBS Treeworks offers a professional and affordable tree surgery service to all customers in the Romsey, Southampton, Winchester, Salisbury and surrounding towns and villages.
The company was started by Craig Ryan in 2005, after completing his National Certificate in Arboriculture at Moulton Agricultural College in Northampton. He successfully ran RBS Treeworks in Northampton for 8 years before relocating to Hampshire.

Over the years we have been fortunate enough to work on varied and challenging projects which have allowed us to demonstrate our skills. It has resulted in a very happy customer base. Some of our customers have been kind enough to provide us with references, some of which can be viewed below.
"Craig is so meticulous that it had to be perfect before he was finished. The site was cleared up on completion and a lovely tree was all that remained. I cannot fault any of the work and it was all done at a reasonable cost. Excellent!"

Removing Walnut and Hazel tree, removing numerous bushes and ivy
Craig came and discussed with us what work was needed in garden. This included removal and grinding of two very large trees. My wife walked the garden with him and they discussed in detail all the work we needed. Craig and his crew arrived promptly at the arranged times and they did work hard. Took all garden refuse away including 4 rotten fences that only the ivy had been holding up. Left everything as neat and tidy as they could. Having just moved into the area I am pleased we manage to find Craig and his team. Well done RBS Treeworks

Cutting back several trees and bushes in our garden, including rhodedendron and camelia
Craig and his team arrived on time and worked tirelessly in the wind and rain to complete the work. They took their time and the work was completed to a very high standard. I was very impressed with how tidy the garden looked after they had finished too as they completely cleared all debris and blew away all leaves. The price for the work was very competitive too. I would thoroughly recommend.

The work carried out by Craig was done very carefully, the hedge was reduced in height as requested and all cuttings cleared away. Craig and his assistant were very pleasant. I would recommend RBS Treeworks without hesitation.
