 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second time I have engaged Thomson Trees to undertake major tree work in my garden. Just like the first time the crew were very polite, safety aware and carried out a very professional job.  They cleared up the site after taking down 3 very large willows and left the cut wood in neat piles. I would highly recommend Thomson Trees for any tree work.

From the quote with Peter to the removal of Eucalyptus tree from our garden with the two guys that’s that’s carried out the work (sorry I didn’t catch their names)  it was a great efficient service. My 3year old enjoyed watching the tree come down and was in awe of the guys working. Thank you and would highly recommend ☺️
