How does the process work
From our first look at your tree to a clean, tidy and safe garden.
From our initial site visit to view your trees, our aim is to understand your motivation for the tree work so we can advise you on the best course of action available at the best possible price. We will provide you with a written itemised quotation of the works to be undertaken.

Tree Inspection
As part of the quotation process we carry out a visual inspection to determine any problems or causes for concern e.g. presence of decay, deadwood, problem or defective branches etc. We discuss your requirements and offer our recommendation for work required.

Written quotation
Following our initial visit to inspect the tree, we will supply you with a free written quotation detailing our findings and recommendations for work to be completed.

Once our quotation has been accepted we will schedule the works to begin on a date that is convenient for you.

What our customers say
Punctual, careful, and the garden left spotless.
“We moved into a house with a smallish garden containing 8 large trees. Craig has removed four of these and pruned two. He is knowledgeable and professional. His work is of a high standard and he leaves the garden very tidy when finished. I can highly recommend RBS Treeworks.”

“We have just moved house; it had been unoccupied for over a year. Craig and team have done an amazing job, taken trees out, pruned others and cleared complete areas. Everything was taken away and left extremely tidy. The house and garden now are bathed in light, such a result. Thank you, RBS”

“Excellent service from start to finish. Craig and his team were very punctual and professional throughout. They did an amazing job removing a nearly fallen tree, cutting back a few others, and trimming up the bushes. The work was carried out to a very high standard, and everything was left neat and tidy afterwards.”

“Craig and his team arrived on time and provided a courteous and professional service to prune back a large mature walnut tree subject to the conditions of a TPO consent. The site was thoroughly tidied after both day's work and the aesthetic appeal of the tree maintained by skilled tree work. A thoroughly reliable outfit who I would have no hesitation recommending to others.”
