James and his team have done work for us before, so when we had an oak drop 2 huge limbs across our garden he was our first choice. The tree has a TPO and all aspects of rhe work were done with care and consideration. Throughout James kept us informed about what was happening and the proposed outcome, his attitude and communication were exceptional. All the wood was cleared and our garden was left tidy, I wouldn't hesitate to use the company again.

Large tree cut down and subsequently two other trees pruned. The pruned trees 🌳 benefited especially the Cherry Tree which has produced more vigorous growth whereas we thought it was old and dying. Both trees also retained their leaves much longer than in previous years despite the severe drought and look much healthier.

We have been using the services of James and his team at J Firman Trees and Fences for some time now. We have had some huge trees cut down by the team in a very professional and efficient manner. Every aspect of the work was undertaken with safety in mind and work completed in a timely fashion to our exact requirements.
We have further work needed and James will be our first port of call and we are very happy to recommend his services to others that require work.

We have used James, as our local tradesman, for several years now. He lives close by and is very reliable. His communication is always very clear. We are delighted with the service he and his team provide. Recently had to say goodbye to a 60 year old Bramley apple tree. The tree was cut down, all the waste was removed and the stump cut down to ground level. All of the spoil was cleared. They also trimmed and shaped our huge Laurel. Spent some time with him looking at how to trim our Oak tree. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. Next week they will pollard our mature Oak tree. Highly recommended and will use again, without doubt. Thanks James and Paul.

James and his team have been looking after our property for years, handling everything from major tree work to trimming back dense hedgerows. Because our trees are in a conservation area, we rely heavily on their expert advice, and they always prioritise the long-term health of the trees. They are professional, safety-conscious, and a complete pleasure to work with. We wouldn't trust anyone else - you and your trees are in the safest hands!

James has frequently worked with us to shape, pollard and reduce trees, and he has also removed them when needed. He loves his craft, he is extremely knowledgeable and his work is always done beautifully. Highly recommended.

James and his colleagues have worked on a number of trees at our property. They offer an outstanding service, both in terms of value for money and the quality of their work.
James, unlike most tree surgeons, values trees for their own sake and has an impressive knowledge of them and their health. Refreshingly, he would never recommend unnecessary work.

We have used James for many years to predominantly cut our huge Laurel hedge and prune our trees. He and his colleagues have always been very professional. The work is of the highest standard and James’ knowledge of trees is second to none. He recently examined and worked on our very old apple tree, which we feared may have to be felled but thanks to his vast knowledge James has managed to save it.
We would highly recommend him.

James viewed and completed the removal of my larch tree top exactly to my written instructions, as I was away. He was extremely communicative, tidy on site, value for money, works were completed quickly and when scheduled. Fabulous! Would definitely recommend James and use him again.

James came to quote at my request for 2 trees in my garden to be ‘trimmed’. He was really knowledgeable and happy to share his knowledge and gave really good advice. Ultimately, I had one tree pollarded and the other tree reduced and re-shaped. I am really, really pleased with the results. Great value and really hard-working guys who left the garden absolutely immaculate after they had finished.

I have used James to cut my hedges and trees for many years. He always turns up when promised, gets the job done and removes all rubbish at the same time. James is always happy to give his expert advice and I wouldn’t use anyone else.

James and his team were contracted by the Parish Council to fell a number of trees in our community wood. They did a great job in the time quoted and left the site tidy. They will be used again for further work within the village.
