Trimming neighbour's overhanging beech tree
We needed a tree surgeon to cut back a beech tree at the end of our neighbour's garden, removing the overhanging branches without damaging the tree which we do enjoy and provides a bit more privacy for our garden. Craig (and Phil and Will) were great - I would highly recommend. Gave good advice whilst quoting, reasonable quote, booked in and showed up as agreed, work executed to a high standard, and all clean and tidy when they left. One very happy customer!

Reduce and thin canopy of Oak Tree (which has a Tree Preservation Order) in line with TVBC approval
Craig and his team arrived on time and set about work straight away. It was a big job for them to undertake. We had received prior approval from Test Valley Borough Council for the treeworks because the Oak Tree is subject to a Tree Preservation Order. The 4 guys worked hard all day and cleared up everything before they left. You wouldn't have known they had been here. They were careful to retrieve the odd stray branch that fell into our neighbours' gardens. Cost was exactly the same as the written quote provided at the outset.

Felling of trees and removal of stumps
Have used RBS Treeworks on several occasions now and as usual Craig arrived when he said he would, undertook the work and left the garden clean and tidy, also had time to give some advice on other gardening issues.
Customer in Stockbridge, 14 July 2014
Trimming back a heavily overgrown hedge in the front garden
Excellent work done by RBS and I would strongly recommend this company. I was consulted and advised about the work I required and the cost of the work was really good value for money. Not only did RBS do an fantastic job for me, they left my garden much tidier than when they first arrived. This is the second time I have used RBS for work in my garden and I am really impressed and would certainly use them again.

Difficult dead wooding of large oak over main road
I was very impressed with RBS. We discussed the proposed works and they took me through what they would be doing. I was concerned since they would be over the main road for some of the works. They arrived promptly on the agreed date. The works were carried out proficiently and the site tidied fully before they left. As requested, they chopped logs and stacked them for us. All in all, excellent service and at a good price. Definitely recommended and will use again.

Removal of a leaning tree
We called Craig for advice on a dodgy looking tree, and he came out to assess it almost immediately. Fitted us in to remove the tree as soon as he could, and turned up early to get started. He was very professional in terms of manner and how he operated. He had the appropriate signage and did an excellent job at short notice. Have kept him on our books for future use and would definitely recommend :)

Cleared 40ft conifer after high winds
Our tree blew over on Christmas Eve and went over our fence on to a busy road and therefore needed emergency works. RBS were out within hours and did a fantastic job helping us out and then even come back after Christmas to finish the rest. It was a very large tree and an amazing effort. Highly recommended.

Craig and his co-worker did an excellent job, discussed the work required, gave a good fixed price for the job in advance.

They tidied up and removed all the material from the site. I have no hesitation in recommending this friendly professional service.

Removing trees around gas-tank.
Courteous Craig came when he said he would, and gave a prompt estimate. He did a thoroughly professional, neat and tidy job earlier than he had estimated (with my prior approval), and at a very fair price. Although he did a little extra work, his bill was as his estimate. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. A fair and competent trustworthy professional. I would not hesitate to use him again.

First class.
Review on Checkatrade, Eastleigh, 14 Oct 2013
(Very high privet hedge trimmed to boundaries)
The hedge is over 12 ft high and belongs to neighbours, who never trim it, so for 6 years we have struggled to keep it in some order. No more - from now on we will call RBS Treeworks. They have made a great job of cutting back and cleared away all the cuttings. The view from my kitchen has never looked so good.

We hired RBS Treeworks to prune our apple tree but unfortunately they found that on inspection, it was rotten at the base so the tree had to be removed. This was done quickly and efficiently and our garden was left clean and tidy. We have recommended RBS Treeworks to our friends. Good job!
