    "We had 8 large gum trees very close to our house, unfortunately they had to go, branches were starting to drop. I obtained 3 quotes for the work to be done, John was an absolute professional and understood exactly what I wanted, he spent time discussing the work and left me in no doubt that he was the man for the job. The guys came on time, were excellent in their work practise, completed the work as per the quote, left everything as I would expect it to be. I would ask John and his team back,… they were fantastic."

    "John just cut down a large tree from our front garden last week. The working conditions were not the best. He had to deal with rain, a very busy main road and a large tree close to a boundary fence and two houses. I never realised what skilled and back breaking work this is and was extremely impressed with the job he did. He was professional and knowledgeable and got stuck in and got the job done above my expectation. Will definitely use again in the future and happy to recommend his… services."

    "If anyone is looking for an arborist who has in depth knowledge, is reliable, meticulous and does an excellent job then John is the man. From the word go, John was extremely professional and knew what he was talking about. He was happy to share his knowledge, giving us pointers on how to get the best from our trees. John was very accommodating, and preponed the job with only 24 hours notice, as rain was forecast on the day the job was originally scheduled. On the day of the job, John arrived on… time, and the quality of work was excellent. The garden was left spotless once they had finished. I have used arborists in the past, but none have come close to Tree Total. Thanks John for an amazing job done, will definitely be using you again."

    "I have been trying to get a Tree topped on a cliff top for the last 3 months.
    and the service was terrible from other suppliers.

    I contacted John and within 2 days the job had been completed brilliantly without any fuss or bother.
    He fixed the botched up cuts from the last person, to ensure the tree grows back into a nice shape.

    I was very happy and would highly recommend his work, it was very professional .

    "John and the Tree Total guys have done several jobs for me after I found them recommended on this site. The most recent was a really tricky storm-damaged tanekaha, split half way up the very high tree and close to the house. John and his assistant worked safely, cleanly and with great care to ensure there was no damage to the surrounding area (which included an outdoor deck with glass table). He took the time to check nearby trees, recommended removal of another tree which was also at risk… and, best of all, left me with probably a winter's worth of firewood, cut and stacked in the woodshed. I would use Tree Total any time I needed work done. He has also done work at my daughter's home and again, faultless, tidy and professional. Thanks John"

On the day of the work, the contractors were on time, efficent and completely cleaned up after themselves, they also took away some of the other tree trimmings we had on the property. Brilliant to deal with."

They tidy-up well after themselves and do excellent work. The garden looks amazing and before it looked like we needed to set light to it! When I suggested things I thought I wanted he said that was no problem but could he suggest perhaps a better option, which always was (better) - just what you pay money for - oh, and that money… was more than reasonably. Very highly recommend."

My rambling roses are daunting adversaries but were efficiently knocked back ready for a new season of rampant growth. Ha! now it's April and I'm once again surrounded by a thorny thicket fit to protect a sleeping beauty for 100 years! Looks like another massacre will be called for this year, guys...."

    "They have now done two jobs for us- ridding our steep section of twelve privet and also trimming our oak tree.
    The privet was removed quickly and without damage to anyone\'s property which shows skill given the proximity of location of dwellings and cars to the working site.
    The oak tree is at the top of our very steep section and they bravely climbed up with harnesses and ropes and trimmed it, giving updates as required. The section was left clear of branches, also they were careful to not… damage any of our small tree plantings which were right under the tree and in the way! Well done.    "

I sought three quotes and decided on Tree Total because of the responsive communication, good price and feedback from this site. Tree Total started work on my property the next day after I gave the go ahead and all work was completed within a day. The job was excellent... I have never seen such level top on a hedge!
