Excellent two days spent hedgelaying with Lowe Maintenance and Andrew Kirkwood. Great tuition, good contrast of old and young hedges to work with and friendly and enjoyable throughout. Highly recommended!

Two of our works lads successfully completed the Emergency Treeworks Operations course. They returned to work with glowing reviews of both the course content and how it was taught by Phil. Thank you from Great Aycliffe Town Council

Good course and very well delivered. I have come away with both the knowledge and a tick in the box. Can get 'tooled-up' now and put the classroom lessons into practice.

Phill is a master when it comes to chainsaws. Anything he doesn't know isn't worth knowing. He made the process so easy to follow and thankfully me and jack passed. Big thanks to tom as well for his help.

Really enjoyed my weeks training I learnt a lot I was great to learn in such a relaxed yet totally professional way Phil certainly knows his stuff, the assessor was also spot on a proper working bloke who put us at ease throughout. I actually feel like I've been trained properly and not just something I've had to do to tick a box I will certainly be back to do my spraying courses in the future thanks a lot Phil and Demelza
