How it works
- 01
Send a message
Tell me what needs doing. Photos help more than anything, especially if it has got away from you.
- 02
Free estimate
A price and what it involves. If the job is better done in another season, or a tree needs council consent first, you hear about it now rather than on the day.
- 03
Booked in
We agree a day, and I move it if the weather would make a mess of your lawn. You do not need to be in, as long as I can get round the back.
- 04
Job done
Tools away, paths swept, gates shut. You get a message to say I have been.
