Fantastic work

5
I was made aware of Alan Hopkins Tree Surgery, as they were working on my neighbours large trees. Already impressed by how they were handling the job. I contacted them for a quote (removal of a very tall pine tree 30ft +, the topping of another pine tree, and 30% reduction of an oak tree, on the edge of the street). Alan himself quoted me for the works required, very friendly and knowledgeable chap, and I had no hesitation accepting the quoted works. The team arrived promptly the following week, and set to work. The whole job was carried out safely, methodically, finished off with a clean up. It was a huge task, and they did a fantastic job. We’ve all seen the wrong people giving this kind of work a go, to be honest the price I got, with the expertise, it’s a no brainer to use Alan and his team.

Tree pruning and bush tidying.

5
I employed ALAN HOPKINS' company to do some extensive pruning and pollarding work for me recently. Beyond the excellent reviews I noted on-line, this company was an unknown quantity to me.
I would certainly give ALAN HOPKINS top marks all round !!
A quick response to my initial enquiry, resulted in a timely visit to my property, and a very reasonable quote for the work I needed doing.
We were able to fix a date between us within a week, and Alan's team turned up - bright and early - to start the ( 2-day ) job as and when promised.
I was delighted with the work done, and I give particular praise for the evident safety measures, employed by the team at all times.
All arisings were cleared and removed from site, and it is fair to say that you wouldnt have known the team had been there in this regard.
A most friendly, safe, knowledgeable, and capable team of people to do business with !
I would have no hesitation in employing ALAN HOPKINS again if / when the need arises.

Storm Eunice experience

5
Storm Eunice uprooted a large tree at 6pm on a Friday night and was left resting on my new shed. A neighbouring, equally tall conifer was making ominous creaking and cracking noises in the high wind with obvious splits in the trunk.

I contacted Alan Hopkins. He agreed to come out at 8am to give advice and a quote. He turned up on time, was reassuring and promised to return at lunchtime to make the conifer safe.

He and his team came just after noon and despite wind and rain reduced the conifer crown, stopping the cracking and creaking. He returned with a bigger team at 8.30 on Sunday to finish the job. They removed the uprooted tree and drastically reduced the perilous conifer and two adjoining conifers.

They took away all the rubbish, having cut up the larger branches and trunk to log size for a grateful neighbour.

I thought he charged a fair price for an excellent job, in difficult conditions, by a friendly team.

The shed survived with only minimal damage.

I would not recommend

1
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.....This firm Charged £400 for two men to clear and tidy my elderly and immobile fathers garden. Pots, benches and garden ornaments were tossed into the bushes and not returned. Patio weeds were not cleared and large bushes were not trimmed back. I complained to Mr Hopkins and he returned only to strim and cut the grass and clear overgrown plants from the green house. Mr Hopkins stated he was not a gardener even though their advert quotes "Garden Clearance". Poor service.

Canterbury fencing

5
The work to be done was not straightforward as two tree stumps had to be removed and a wooden fence erected across where they had been. The work was carried out extremely well during the morning and early afternoon and looks very professional. Alan Hopkins' family firm can be highly recommended.
