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.
"RBS Treeworks did a great job this week, despite a very hot and humid day and also hampered by angry wasps. A great job and everything was left clear and tidy. I will definitely be recommending you Craig. Very satisfied customer."

Remove holly tree, trim and reduce height of hedge borders
Have used RBS previously as their work is competitively priced and to a very high standard. Site was left very clean and tidy.
Eastleigh, August 2020
Tree removal in back garden
The job was completed to a very high standard and the site was left tidy. Craig was very friendly and efficient.
Romsey, May 2020
Virginia creeper removed from our house and our neighbours
RBS did an excellent job - they were friendly, very efficient, and left our garden and house immaculate even though the waste had to be removed through the house. They finished quicker than had been expected and even took money off our bill to reflect this. Couldn't recommend them highly enough!
Customer in Southampton, October 2019
Two trees felled - both in difficult positions
Craig Ryan has a lot of expertise in assessing tree work. It was done on time, at the agreed cost, very neatly and with minimum disturbance. Highly recommended!
Customer in Southampton, August 2019
Trimmed two trees
Fantastic service. Didn't have to wait long for them to come and quote for the work or to get it completed.
Customer in Romsey, July 2019
Tree pruning
Really tricky job because the tree lies on the boundary and is owned by a neighbour, but Craig did an amazing job at reducing, thinning and lifting the canopy on our side without making the tree look ridiculous from any angle!
Customer in Romsey, July 2019
Tree stump grinding and removal
Job done as agreed, site left tidy and clear as requested. All completed in about 40 minutes. Very efficient. Recommended.
Customer in Romsey, June 2019
Dead wooded trees in garden
Very happy with the work. In my experience Craig is reliable and trustworthy and I would definitely ask him to do further work in future. He obviously seems to care about the trees and does what's best for them.

One tree removed, apple tree pruned and willow-leafed pear tidied
Excellent in every way.
Repeat Customer in Southampton, 10 January 2019
Trim tree over hanging boundary
Very professional job. Didn't just cut back what was overhanging, which would have created an odd shaped tree, but gave the tree a natural shape. Very pleased with the work.
Customer in Romsey, 8 January 2019
Removed bows overhanging garden and house
Craig and team turned up as agreed and carried out works with no fuss and bother to us. Sorry about Dog Mess, should have said before hand. Site was cleared and they left no signs of rubbish behind. I will be calling them with no hesitation for any extra works in the future.
