PTree Surgery and Groundworks

The team at PTree Surgery & Groundworks replaced a damaged fence for me. It wasn't a straightforward task due to difficult location but the boys managed an amazing job, I was well informed every step of the way and nothing was too much trouble, the boys were really tidy and didn't make a mess even in very wet muddy conditions. Very pleased and impressed with the new fence! Thank you

I would have no hesitation on recommending them for tree work

We have used Ptree Surgery and Groundworks for a variety of work including tree felling, erecting fences, stump removal and landscaping and on every occasion we were absolutely delighted with the result. Jim and his team are very professional, highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable. Communication was excellent - both through Jim on the ground and via Claire in the office we were always kept updated. From start to finish - punctuality to the final clean-up - everything was exemplary.
Thoroughly recommended.

I've used PTree Surgery and Groundworks before and they have never let me down. Job was completed again to a very high quality and to the quoted price. Delighted with the end result.

Fence Repair

Newly moved to the area and part of our fence blew down in the strong winds. Got a neighbour’s recommendation regarding PTree Surgery and from the first call with Claire it has been a seamless experience. The fence is now fixed and I would have no hesitation using them again.

Two trees from recent storms (80 ft) dealt with, cut up and roots well ground. Additionally base roots from two other trees blown over in November 23 ground out. Very tidy and professional at a competitive price.

PTree Surgery were efficient and did a tidy job. The tree surgeons were skilled and experienced. They were very polite to their customer which was hugely appreciated.

Had our large Willow tree trimmed and Jim's team did an excellent job. We've used Jim and his team before to deal with our trees and found them a very reliable and professional crew who really know their stuff. So very happy to recommend their services.

Great service. Really happy with the work carried out.

Have used PTree a few times to cut back, shape and remove trees. I have always been happy with their service. Their office contact is friendly, capable and polite. Tree work is done professionally and all debris is removed. I will use them again for this type of gardening work and am happy to recommend them.

Pruning and reshaping of an ornamental tree. Great job done with care and everything tidied up and left immaculate after the work was completed.

I have had trees pruned and hedges cut. Jim is very pleasant, does a good job, will advise as necessary, and tidies everything up, shredding where suitable.

PTree arrived exactly as planned and made rapid progress while clearly working in a safe and considerate manner. Worksite left clear and tidy. This is the second time we’ve used this company and will have no hesitation in using them again.

Very happy with service. Came when they said they would, cleared away all waste, and more importantly had great knowledge about the trees.

Prompt and excellent work - hedge looks beautiful now.

Pe-tree trimmed and pruned my Colorado spruce tree. It was massive and out of control. Now it’s a beautiful, tidy, masterpiece. So much smaller.
Pe-tree are very knowledgeable on their work and trees. They kept the natural shape of the tree. They were able to tell me the type of tree as well. They left a lovely tidy job. Taking away all the branches too. I would recommend them. Nice polite and friendly. Introduced themselves. They even made sure the gates were closed when they left for the dog. I would definitely recommend them.

Excellent standard of work, friendly and conscientious. Highly recommend.

PTree were called in to provide Tree Surgeon works on our development in the East Neuk of Fife. From the outset the communication with the Company was excellent but initially we selected a cheaper quotation from an alternative Contractor.
This turned out to be a huge mistake, we were continually let down by this Contractor to the point we went back, cap in hand, to PTree.
Thankfully they responded to out plea, fitted us into their crowded schedule, and performed the work in the most professional manner. They had all the correct equipment and licences, staff were extremely courteous and worked hard from the moment they arrived on site. They continually checked that we were happy as the work progressed and despite overrunning on their projected hours stayed on till the work site was cleared of all debris, even using blowers to disperse the sawdust from their cuts.
In summary, you might get cheaper quotes but I doubt you will find a better more professional service to do the work!

Annual cutting of large mixed hedge. I have used Ptree for many years and for a variety of tree/hedge work. They always provide a faultless, friendly but professional service. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Polite, friendly, fast, efficient and clean!
A big Thank you for an excellent job!

Two trees needed trimming and trunks cut on the larger one. The work was carried out by the agents very efficiently and quickly. They had pride in the work done and left the garden clean and tidy, with all the debris removed.

The men were civil and cheerful and keen to make a good impression and spent time making sure the result of their labours suited me and the result is very impressive.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the service of this company and the helpful administrator accommodating my timetable in a most obliging manner

Great Job

2 trees pollarded. Very good job and 2 very polite young men put the Chios down on a path for me and hoovered the garden and left it immaculate

Cut down large dead tree in our back garden They had the right equipment for the job. Chipped all the branches and left the garden clean and tidy

A large copper beech tree in my garden had to be reduced in size and a multi-bow sycamore tree removed altogether. Jim initially came round, assessed the situation and recommended the work required, clearly and sensibly. The quotation for cost was reasonably priced and in line with guidance for similar work found on-line. The work was subsequently carried out to a high standard by a team of two, who both took time to meet me and explain their actions as the work progressed. Afterwards, the site was cleared of debris. The is the second time that I have contracted PTree in recent years and on both occasions they have provided an excellent level of service at a reasonable price.

Over the last four years or so, I have used this company for work on or beside outbuildings, garden maintenance, hedge cutting and tree pruning. Its owner has high standards, and felt obliged to cease the building work and garden maintenance as it became after the March 2020 lockdown increasingly difficult to get good staff. I hope he can return to garden maintenance sooner rather than later.

A large tree with a small fungus infection was pollarded, two vastly overgrown evergreen shrubs were well-pruned back and a tall, rotted fence post was replaced.
On initial inspection, Jim explained and discussed the issues and solutions to all the items listed. His approach always has at its heart, both the health and welfare of the trees or shrubs, and also their ultimate appearance; their shape, balance and the new canopy of fresh growth.
After the work was completed, Jim and his colleague left the site looking immaculate.
All personnel, including Claire in the office, are always courteous, friendly and professional.

Apple trees pruned and cypress tree removed.
All the apple and pear trees were pruned and brought into shape from their previous overgrown and messy appearance. The cypress tree removed completely. All the debris was removed with no mess left behind in the garden nor on the street. The workers were easy to talk to and happy to discuss and answer any questions.

Claire in the office was always pleasant and willing to work through some communication problems I was having through my own fault.
Altogether an easy company to work with.

Pruned and tidied up trees, cut hedge. Worked carefully around plants. Cleared everything away.

PTree removed two holly bushes and a huge cyprus from a fairly constricted space in my garden. They also cleared the stumps and left everything clean tidy and ready to plant. They also planted and took great care to orient optimally a replacement ornamental cherry. It was a pleasure to watch the work. I really appreciated the friendly care and attention to detail. Thank you Jim and Daemon!

Tree removal and hedge trimming. The team were professional, polite and did a great job. Highly recommend.

P-Tree is our first choice of tree surgeons for regular trimming etc required on our common property of a block of flats in St Andrews Fife where we have 11 large trees with preservation tags. They carry out the necessary work required after inspections by a local arborist. I thoroughly recommend them.

Brilliant work by Jim and the guys. They removed two trees, put in a pond and a fence. We Love the pond and the fence looks fantastic. They worked really hard and efficiently. Nothing was too much trouble. There was constant communication and they were very nice and friendly. I would use them again and would reccomend them 100%.

The company were extremely professional in all the work they carried out. They were helpful in every way and the work was carried out satisfactorily on time.
I would have no qualms recommending this company.

Trimming shrubs and bushes.Very good result.

Excellent work completed in the timeframe agreed.
I would certainly recommend Ptree Surgery & Groundworks for doing a great job and overcoming the challenging weather conditions!
Thanks again,

Excellent job done, friendly staff who undertook the work,. Tidied a up all clippings and branches and took them away. All areas left immaculate. Thoroughly recommended.

Our old 6ft garden fence was removed and replaced. In addition paving slabs were leveled and stabilised.
I am delighted not only with the high quality of the work done but the professional way my approach was handled. Here is a company who will do exactly and reliably what they are asked to do and will openly explain exactly when they are able to carry out the works.

Jim and team provided an excellent service replacing and improving my garden deck. It looks brilliant.

Trees trimmed and thinned out, cut back. Service was excellent. Workers consulted me on what they were doing and gave me great advice. Very courteous and helpful when they finished nothing was left wouldn`t know they had been. Would definitely recommend them and will use them again.

Professional approach to tree removal. Efficient, effective and tidy work.

Large hedge cut and as always, have done a great job, leaving everything immaculate. Ptree have done a lot of work for me over the years, from taking down large trees to hedge cutting, laying patios, building raised beds and more. Always highly professional and reliable.

PTree responded to my initial inquiry by promptly arranging an assessment of my overgrown garden by a specialist, who explained the available options clearly and the timescales for completion. Having agreed a plan, PTree provided a detailed quotation of the cost and then arranged for the work to take place at a convenient time. Although a considerable amount of excess growth in the garden had to be removed, the work was completed with minimal disruption and left no residual debris, despite the removal of a large amount of bulky garden waste. During the work, I was kept informed about progress at relevant stages and provided with images for future reference. Afterwards, PTree waited for my approval before submitting the final invoice as per the original quotation. All round, PTree's service was excellent: on time, professional and competitively priced.

Leylandii hedge trimmed which was overdue and damaged by Storm Arwen.
Very pleasant and committed workmen. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

We were very pleased with the service provided by Ptree in returfing our garden, a three day job. The whole operation from Jim surveying and quoting for the job to Keith and Lewis laying the turf went very smoothly. Most importantly work began promptly on the start day given. Claire in the office was most helpful and kept us up to date with arrangements. We were impressed by Keith and Lewis' professional approach to the job and their friendly manner. We have already approached Ptree in respect of carrying out additional groundwork and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

We had trees which needed to be taken down and others which needed
pruning. The work was carried out swiftly and efficiently and with care.
We will definitely contact this trader again next year.

PTree cleared and flattened our small front garden removing earth, stones, rocks and old shrubs. They went about it enthusiastically and very efficiently clearing away any mess. They took everything away and left it exactly as we had asked. I would use them again without hesitation.

Good work, though later in the season than I would have liked. However, the team did the hedging very efficiently

Would have no hesitation using PTREE SURGERY and GROUNDWORKS LTD. for any future work and would certainly recommend this company.

PTree did an excellent job of removing a huge tree from our garden which had been felled by the storms in November. The damage was extensive and the garden was covered by the tree debris and the bulk of it covered our Leylandii hedge and demolished our shed. The PTree team of 3 guys worked solidly for 2 and a half days, barely stopping for a break and did a wonderful job of clearing the mess up. They were polite and professional and committed to doing a good job. There was no mess at all once they had finished and we were delighted with the job. We have used them before and can highly recommend them for any tree related problems as they can always be relied upon to do a great job.

I engaged PTree Surgery and Groundworks Ltd to carry out tree trimming work to a protected lime tree in my garden. I had previously received planning approval from Fife Council with conditions attached detailing limits for the pruning.

The work was carried out with due care and attention to safety and all trimmings were cleared up and put through their chipper on site and taken away at the end of each day. The tree surgeons were very knowledgeable and friendly.

I cannot praise this company enough. I have used them two or three times now and would highly recommend them to others.

We had a new lawn and path laid. The whole process was extremely efficient from getting a quote from Jim to corresponding with Careen in the office who was very helpful and answered all our questions efficiently. The work was completed while we were away. It’s a great job and the workmen left the area extremely clean and tidy. I would definitely use them again and recommend to friends.

I had various bushes removed from my garden and the large stumps grinded down. I was really pleased by the professional way the business conducted itself from getting the quote to finishing the job. I was kept informed throughout the process and knew exactly what the work would entail. The guys arrived on time as agreed and carried out the work diligently, professionally and kept me updated throughout the morning.
I am very pleased with the final product and would definitely use them angain and recommend them to anyone as they were first class. Thank you very much.

Excellent work done on removal of a cherry tree, from application to the Council to removal of all debris. Good to see use of full safety equipment, hard hats and harness. Very pleasant and helpful workmen.

We had our front garden area fitted with artificial grass. Our house is a new build and we weren’t ready to move in for a number of months so opted for this after Ptree quoted for turf and the artificial lawn. We are so pleased with result. We weren’t in attendance when they came to do it, we just have before and after pictures. They cleaned up & took all the mud/rubble away. Our dog can go out without us having to wipe muddy paws every time he comes back in and the “grass” really looks like turf!

Taking down a dead birch tree. The men came on time, were polite and efficient, did what we requested and tidied up very well afterwards.

PTree laid a new lawn for us to replace the old one badly damaged by years of child and dog activity. Jim and Greg did a splendid job, giving us a new lawn of a quality we have never had over the 30 years we have been in our house. We would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others.

Excellent communication, great people, very high quality work.

Large Scott’s pine tree leaning at 45 deg angle taken down , professional service from visit to give estimate , ensuring that permission to fell from appropriate authority’s has been given ,to actual work being done.

Greig and Peter did a great job removing several large cypress trees from a tight space using rope access techniques. They followed our instructions exactly, leaving an impressive log pile and a tidy site. Thank you.

I've used PTree twice and, as a forester, have been delighted by their service. They are knowledgeable about tree care, skilled in carrying out their operations, considerate to me (and, importantly, to the neighbours!) and very safety conscious. Please don't hesitate in using them.

Jim came out to advise and estimate. His suggestions were sound and it was clear he was highly professional. The quote came in below what I was expecting and the job accepted. On Mon the team arrived at 8.30 on the dot to begin work. They ran right through until 4.30 in the dark cleared everything they had too and left the garden tidier than they found it. They too were very professional, safe and clearly interested in the job - it was not just a turn up for work.
I would recommend them to anyone seeking a good job needed doing and in fact have already asked for additional works on the strength of Monday’s work.

The trees look a lot better after they are trimmed by PTree Surgery. The work was done swiftly and efficiently. They left the property clean. I'll have them do some other works in the future.

New fence installed in back garden. Survey and work done quickly, professionally and efficiently by friendly workers with all proper precautions for coronavirus. Received three quotes for this job, and PTree's was in the mid-range. Happy with the work, good value for money.

Tree removed, charged less than estimate as tree smaller than first realised.

I was so impressed with the careful work by PTree, They reduced the branches on an overgrown flowering cherry tree by several metres and leaving it nicely shaped. They discussed the work with me before and during the job, explaining what was involved and what was best for the tree. Everything was cleared up when the job was finished.

We had tree pruning carried out to a very high standard, with great professionalism by the team

I can highly recommend PTree

Work completed to a high standard and as agreed. On the whole fabulous folk to deal with, 5 star service

We have a very large Cypress Hedge that had been neglected for many years and needed some serious TLC. It took 3 guys a total of 5 days to lower it by 5 feet and tidy it up. They not only tidied the hedge up but they cleared up after themselves as the day went on and finally at the end of the week, other than a pristine hedgerow, you would have never known they were there.

All three worked extremely hard for the time they were on site and were polite and engaging.

I would absolutely recommend the company.

Annual cut of a large hedge. Have previously had large trees removed and a tree reshaped. Always extremely efficient and professional.

Courtyard repaving and replacement of septic tank cover

Always reliable. Prompt attention. Contact excellent. Friendly competent staff.Work high standard whatever task.

Would highly recommend Jim, Careen and their team who couldn't be more efficient and professional and they were a delight to work with. Job completed on time to a high standard and on completion left immaculately.

Tree surgery

Small but tricky border fence built quickly and very professionally. Work is really neat, very happy and reasonably priced too. Guys that came out to do the work were friendly, courteous and professional. Would highly recommend.

2 tree stumps removed

Ptrees carried out removal of three tree stumps on 18th July 2020. Their service was excellent all round from their initial communications, confirmation nearer the time, arrival when they said they would, professional work and polite manner. They removed the stumps without damaging the adjacent fences, plants or stone border and cleared away all of the debris and chips leaving new flat surfaces. They even used a leaf blower on the steps between the garden and the street.
We highly recommend them.

tree stump removal - excellent service and work done to a very high standard

Shrub clearance and tree stump grinding

Trimming and thinning of a number of trees in our garden and all waste was removed. We were asked regularly if we were happy with the work being carried out - it was a great job. Thank you.

Firstly, I would mention that we have used this company for many years. Business loyalty is not something I give lightly.
I contacted them pre-Covid 19 lockdown to have the trees assessed, advice given and a quote for agreed works. I booked a date and then lockdown happened. Following government guidelines, I was contacted by the company to say that work would be delayed until such time that it was safe to recommence working.
Following a relaxing of some of the regulations, this week we had our Willow tree pollarded and our Katsura tree shaped. The team of two worked safely and respectfully, caring for the trees they have nurtured for years. All rubbish was cleared from the site and we're delighted with the results.
However, if I left my review there, it would only tell part of the story of our experience with PTree Surgery and Groundworks. They are a fantastic team and lovely people. Professional, knowledgeable, hard-working and passionate about what they do. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending and commending them.

Fantastic job no problems atcall

Excellent job

Have complete various projects for me including landscaping, fencing, tree removal, stump removal and turfing. Would highly recommend

Substantial garden work involving trees, shrubs, and hedges all undertaken quickly (in miserable weather) and finished to a high standard.

PTree took down five large trees for us and pruned a further three trees. The trees felled were three very tall Eucalyptus and two massive beech trees. All the work was done very professionally. P Tree was on site for five days, removed all debris, and cleared up very well. All in all they did an excellent job.

Sound knowledgable professional advice followed by work to extremely high standard. And totally tidied up afterwards!! Highly recommend.

Excellent work on removing three trees. All material removed and the site cleared.
