We have a huge walnut tree in our garden that was overshadowing our house, making the rooms and garden dark and cold. matt has cut it back and thinned it out and the difference is just amazing. I honestly didn't think anything would help other than cutting it down! no mess was left and he even moved our fairy garden and bug hotel to stop it being crushed :) highly recommended, he knows exactly what hes doing. thank you!

We have used Green Man Woodlands for 6years now. Our first experience was a very large tree which had fallen with a further tree beside which needed to come down. All our further tree work has been completed by Green Man Woodlands. I would highly recommend there service. The work is of a very higher standard, Matt is very knowledgeable and always gives a very professional service. We have also had an owl carved out of a tree trunk by Matt, this skill is very impressive and looks amazing in our garden. A family run business, excellent communication and is always a pleasure to deal with.

Green Man Woodlands provides an excellent service. Initial and subsequent communications are good. The work is carried out efficiently and with a sensitivity to the nature of the trees and their growth. Matt and his colleagues are knowledgeable and share their knowledge . Once the job is done they tidy up after themselves pretty well to remove and shred even the smallest offcuts..

Had Matthew come round today to cut back our eucalyptus tree.
He’s done a cracking job...near enough anyone can swing a chainsaw but it’s knowing exactly where to cut that makes a huge difference, not only considering the finished look but the future growth too...top job👍
Very very pleased and would recommend Green Man Woodlands to anyone 😀👌😀
