We've used Jim Pitrie and his crew to do tree work for us on a number of occasions now. This week Jim has taken down 3 trees that were in poor condition and had potential to come down in high winds damaging our house. Always very pleased with the advice and professionalism Jim and his crew provide. We have no hesitation in recommending their service as tree surgeons.

Very happy with our recent experience with Ptree Services. Extremely Professional and experienced team. Communication with Claire the office manager was friendly and constant from quote to completion.
Jim and Damon were prompt, worked hard, safely and efficiently to Re-Pollard 2 Elder trees to previously pollarded height whilst retaining an attractive shape. Jim was very approachable and discussed the work as it progressed to ensure I was happy with the outcome. Garden was left amazingly tidy too.
An excellent friendly service all round. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

Making good storm damage to trees and reducing and shaping two large trees. As in the past he does exactly what he says he will do. That includes removing an awkwardly placed sycamore seedling before it got any bigger.

Felling of Cedar tree in front garden, including grinding down the stump and logging the wood to size for our wood-burning stove. The work was carried out perfectly with absolutely no damage to surrounding lawn and 100% clean up of the site. We were so impressed that we have already asked for a quotation for another job.

I can highly recommend Jim and his team at PT Surgery and Groundworks. Visited site to quote at the time arranged, provided price for works promptly, answered queries promptly and turned up on site as planned. Large amount of hedge and tree pruning. Team of three were very efficient, health and safety conscious and extremely tidy at this holiday home. Will use again.

2 Pine trees were taken down in a very professional way. Jim and the team were extremely hardworking and cleared all the debris.
I have no hesitation in recommending PTree Surgery & Groundwork’s.

Excellent work after storm damage to large trees. Major cutting and clearance of debris. Climbing also involved to cut off overhanging branches. Thorough tidy up afterwards. Thoroughly recommended.

Review Comments
Last week’s storm (once in a generation and accompanied by a red weather warning - danger to life) resulted in 4 pine and larch toppling, 3 of which hung dangerously on other trees near a boundary wall 150 years old and next to a ‘B’ road. We also lost two birch and 4 silver birch.
Jim came out promptly, despite what must have been great demand for his services, provided a very competitive estimate and returned 3 days later to take down the trees, grind out the roots and remove the wood all in one day - very impressive. The clean up means reseeding should be straightforward. Very impressed by a personable and professional tree surgeon and his colleague.

PTree resurrected tall garden fencing which had endured significant damage in recent bad weather conditions. They were so friendly, considerate and professional. They have done an excellent job, with really helpful communications, a company that is a pleasure to deal with, would not hesitate to recommend their work.

Jim and his team were excellent. They were extremely professional, checked in with us regularly to see if we were happy with the work taking place. They were easy to work with.

The team cleared up extremely well at the end of the day and even got rid of some extra leaves under a hedge with their blower.

They brought signs with them to indicate tree feeling work in progress.

I was very grateful that the company dealt with the necessary planning permission which went through without any problems.

Two cypress trees reduced in height and trimmed all round - one was over hanging
the neighbour's garden and was trimmed back to the boundary just as requested.

All debris removed and tidied up.

Would certainly recommend this firm.

We have used PTree Surgery and Groundworks for a number of years and, together with our neighbours, had no hesitation asking them to undertake this year’s tree work.
From the preliminary visit by Jim, the resulting quote emailed by Claire, the tree surgery carried out by Damian and Dan, through to the final correspondence, the service was excellent.
I have no hesitation in commending and recommending them.
First class!
