Testimonials
I’ve known Joseph for around ten years, and throughout that time what has consistently stood out is his deeply studious approach to arboriculture. He is constantly refining his climbing technique, questioning established methods, and seeking a better understanding of trees through direct experience and observation.
His work is driven by curiosity, precision, and genuine respect for the tree itself. He approaches climbing as both a technical skill and a way of understanding the tree and his interaction with it more deeply.
Joe is the kind of arborist who never stops learning, and that mindset shows clearly in the quality, safety, and professionalism of his work. I would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for an arborist with both high technical standards and a thoughtful approach to tree care.

"Joseph did a fantastic job on the two Himalayan birches in my garden. While giving them a much needed trim, he managed to not only preserve but also enhance their grace and elegant shape. Joseph is a true conservationist and a true artist."
Chris Mills - Bath
We were really pleased with Joseph's work taking down a tree for us in our garden, and neatly trimming a very overgrown border and hedge. All of the cuttings were cleared and tidied away and he made a real effort to advise us on other issues we had in our garden.

Joseph came out gave me a quote and date turned up and done as he said. Taking down a large dead tree, reducing dead limbs from another and crowned several other large trees. There were fences and buildings all under his working area and never came close to damaging anything so very much appreciated all his hard work.

Having worked alongside Joseph on many occasions, and even when we find ourselves in different countries still keeping in contact, I can honestly say he is blessed with a natural talent to learn and excel at anything he puts his mind to. I was introduced to Joe through a mutual work colleague who was recreational climbing with him at the weekends, it was these weekends when Joe caught the tree climbing bug and within a year he was competing and winning on a national level which qualified him for the European championships. This is no easy feat and shows his dedication to the industry as a whole.
Aside from competitive tree climbing Joe equally excels as a production arborist, very much at the forefront of the industry, constantly spending many hours outside of work to study and learn the latest techniques and skills to be able to give the best, most modern tree care to his customers. Ontop of his skills base he is also a very kind considerate guy, an absolute pleasure to work with. I hope one day we get to work together again soon.

Joseph did a wonderful job when we needed some tree work doing. He came to look at the job and quote it and then booked us in at a good price and fairly quickly. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and skilled but he is also polite and a genuinely nice person. I’d highly recommend him for any tree work you might need doing.

I have known Joe for over 10 years, during which time he has attended a number of bespoke refresher and update courses with Treepartner Training. His enthusiasm for the industry is commendable and I have always been impressed by his willingness to invest time in his professional development. Joe is always keen to progress his skills and knowledge and keep up to date with changes and developments within the industry.
In my opinion, Joe is a competent arborist who works to a high standard and is professional and reliable. On a personal level I find him to be genuine, polite and a thoughtful individual who learns quickly, asks appropriate questions and has always been a pleasure to teach.
