Rory and Jacob did a wonderful job. Amazing what they managed to do in a day! They were also thorough and careful, and left everything very tidy. Highly recommended!

I was really pleased with the work that the Kneebone brothers did at my house – Good value, tidy, polite and skilled! Thank you.

- Richard Sandford, Totnes

- Roberta Ayles, Totnes

Thank you so much for the hard work that you all put into dealing with my huge pine trees.

They overwhelmed the house and garden and must have been a nightmare for you to access but you guys did it so professionally.

If you are thinking of having this type of work done don’t hesitate to call this company. I got a quote that they honoured and a job that was skilfully carried out.

The outcome is so much more light to the back of my property and a safe environment free from worry of the trees falling on the house.

As you can tell I am very pleased.

- Colin Bone, Brixham

Called these guys when we had a big problem with a large bough of an oak tree in our garden had broken and was dangerously hanging and leaning against another tree. They came out within a couple of hours and dealt with it straight away and at a reasonable cost. Can’t recommend them highly enough

- Don Thomson, Halwell

They arrived when they said and did the job for the quoted price.
All 6 operators were friendly and polite even though it was the hottest two days of the year and they were clearly finding it hot!
They were very careful around the fencing and flowers even leaving ten David Austin roses completely unscathed within two metres of a giant fir being taken down.
They cleared up to an extremely high standard on leaving and worked in a safe & tidy manner throughout the three days.
Would 100% recommend KneeBone Tree Care and have already requested a quote for further work.
