What Our Clients Say

  • "They completed the work with great skill."

    ★★★★★

    We were very impressed when Alex first came round to give an estimate which came in slightly below the company we have used before. Alex and his two colleagues who came to do the work were delightful, polite and very hard working. They completed the work with great skill (felling a very tall willow tree) in two days as promised and cleared up totally as they worked.

    We cannot commend them enough. Delightful, efficient and hard working. 10 out of 10 and thoroughly recommend this small company.

  • "We found Oakhurst very professional and easy to deal with."

    ★★★★★

    We found Oakhurst very professional and easy to deal with. What particularly impressed us was the dedication with which our lawn (softened by rain) was protected as much as possible, even though this caused the workers additional physical effort. The result was a 'post-work' scene barely affected by the works, except for the now absent trees.

    The quoted price and timing were exactly adhered to. Very pleased to have used Oakhurst.

  • "I would highly recommend this company and re-employ Oakhurst without hesitation."

    ★★★★★

    After receiving a number of quotes for reducing the overhang of Hornbeam trees on my boundary fence, I chose Oakhurst Arboriculture. Alex and his colleague were professional and very knowledgeable regarding the tree surgery required. The work was carried out efficiently all within approximately half a day, the branches were removed and shredded and the Cost competitive.


    I would Highly recommend this company and re-employ Oakhurst without hesitation. The team were polite and courteous.

  • "We would highly recommend them for their professional attitude and care."

    ★★★★★

    Alex and Oakhurst were recommended by a neighbour and we are very grateful to them. I can't praise them too highly from the moment they sent us an estimate with an aerial photo of our garden and the intended work.
    In spite of very bad weather, the storm Alex, they arrived to do the work and completed it on the days they said they would. They did a great job with our trees and our hedges. Also they left no debris to suggest we had removed a few trees. They are returning in Spring for work that is best done then.
    We would highly recommend them for their professional attitude and care. Our garden and orchard are much improved from their visit.

  • "Would definitely recommend."

    ★★★★★

    Great work by the team. The tree was right next to a newly built retaining wall and patio but Alex was careful to lower each main branch individually and felled the trunk precisely and accurately.

    Clean and tidy work all round- thank you.

    I have used Oakhurst for several works from pruning back large specimen trees under TPO to felling a 120ft + Corsican Pine. Would definitely recommend.

  • "Professionalism and attention to detail are second to none."

    ★★★★★

    Alex was absolutely brilliant - we've used Oakhurst on 3 separate occasions - the first for felling 3 large trees, secondly for reducing the remaining 3 trees and most recently for trimming all our hedges. His professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. He works incredibly hard and left our garden looking spotless at the end of the day. Would highly recommend

    Alex was a really great when he came to work on some trees for me. He was really conscious of the well being of the tree and did a really brilliant job. He was polite, conscientious and hard working. I would be very happy to recommend him and we will be using Oakhurst again for any and all our tree work.

  • "The work was carried out swiftly and exactly as promised."

    ★★★★★

    Oakhurst Arboriculture carried out a very difficult job of reducing the height by about 40% of a row of beech trees (planted years ago as a hedge but left to grow and grow). The work was carried out swiftly and exactly as promised. The site was left clean and tidy.

    I was extremely impressed and recommend this small firm wholeheartedly.

    - Molly (Google Review)

  • "Highly recommend."

    ★★★★★

    Alex and the team are brilliant. Two huge Lombardy Poplars dismantled to a manageable height. Gave us numerous options on the briefing stage, and talked us clearly through each. The work was done with minimal fuss and exceptional clean-up job done afterwards. Even my very hard to please neighbour admitted they did a good job!! Highly recommend.
