What Our Customers Say
Have used Jack and his team before. This time for light trimming & shaping of several trees & conifers. Careful & professional work, clearing of waste and friendly service at a good price. Experienced and qualified team - use with confidence, highly recommended. Jack and his team returned for some light oak tree trimming, nicely done and a great improvement, all at a very fair price. It was also entertaining seeing them swinging about in the trees. Squirrels may have been amused too...
It was my first time availing of a hedge cutting service. Jack dropped by to do an assessment and was very polite and informative. He told me what will be done and that everything will be cleaned up. Though there was a hiccup on the initial schedule, he was able to communicate and reschedule. He always accomodated my availability. His team arrived on time on the day, gave me a walktrhough and confirmed everything before proceeding. All very polite and careful. Job was quick and tidy and ensured it was done to my liking before leaving. A pleasant 1st experience from Jack and team and will not hesitate to call on them again if need arises.
Very happy with the service carried out by the team to remove a Hawthorn tree that was dying, grind out the stump, and to cut back an overgrown conifer. Quotation received on same day that Jack came to assess the work and carried out within 2 days. By far the most reasonable quotation that we received out of the 4 companies we approached. They even took some old garden cuttings that we had not been able to take to the tip and which were too big to put in our garden waste bin, which i was really grateful for. Will definitely use Elms again for future gardening services required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from customers across Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield and Tamworth.
Do you provide free quotes?
Yes — all our quotes are completely free and there's no obligation. Jack will visit, assess the work, and give you a clear price before anything starts. There's no charge for the visit and no pressure to proceed.
How much does tree surgery cost in Sutton Coldfield?
The cost depends on the type of work, the size of the tree, and how much access there is. We price fairly and clearly — call us on 0121 673 2670 or send us a photo and we'll give you a rough guide before committing to a visit.
Do I need to be home when the work is carried out?
Not necessarily. As long as we have safe access to the tree or hedge, you don't need to be present. Many of our customers leave us to get on with the job while they're at work. We'll always call to confirm once the job is complete.
Do you take all the waste away?
Yes — we remove all wood, branches, and debris as part of every job. We also chip the waste on site where possible. If you'd like to keep the wood for a log burner, just let us know and we'll cut it to size for you.
Are you fully insured?
Yes — we carry comprehensive public liability insurance and all operatives are City & Guilds NPTC qualified. Jack can show you the certificates on request.
Can you work on trees with a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)?
In many cases, yes. Crown reduction, deadwooding, and some maintenance work is permitted on TPO trees without planning permission. We're familiar with TPO requirements and can advise you on what's allowed. If a full removal is needed, we can help you understand the application process.
How quickly can you come out?
For routine work we typically schedule within 1–2 weeks depending on demand. For urgent or dangerous situations — a fallen tree, hanging branches, or storm damage — we'll aim to come out as quickly as possible, sometimes the same day.
