I can highly recommend Devon Arborists. They care about the trees and plants, give good advice, are friendly and helpful, work hard and leave the site clear. Their service is very good value for money. You can’t ask for anything more. We have used their services three times and will definitely be asking them back in future.

Max and his team did a great job taming some very mature trees and shrubs in my dad's front and back garden. It looked great afterwards and was left very tidy. Communication was excellent and they were prompt and courteous. Thank you

The team of 3 worked in a very organised fashion, they each knew what was needed and the removal of the bamboo was carried out iand the debris cleared without a problem. They even found time to rescue 3 sloworms and relocate them to a safer part of the garden! I would highly recommend this company for any garden work. Great team.

I am very happy with the service I received from Devon Arborists, a lovely family firm. Max came to assess the erupting tree root in my tarmac drive and from that moment I was kept well informed. The job has now been very efficiently completed. The root has been completely eradicated and the drive repaired. I am very happy to recommend Devon Arborists. Thank you.

Thanks to the team for another fantastic job! Our garden is much lighter and brighter and ready for the summer. Super professional from start to finish. Highly knowledgeable about the various trees, leading to pragmatic recommendations to balance brightening up the garden vs. preserving the health of the trees. Great attention to detail on the clean-up. We look forward to seeing you again next time!

Good experience. I found the team very easy and efficient to deal with. Max visited and gave helpful advice, and the guys came to remove a bay tree causing issues with retaining wall shortly after, leaving everything neat and tidy.
