What our clients say
Read what homeowners and businesses throughout Derby, Nottingham and Mansfield have to say about working with the APTS team.
I would like you to pass on my appreciation to the three workmen who came to cut and shape my conifer and cut the hedge, they impressed me with their attitude and attention to detail. They did a superb job. Your workmen removed all the cuttings and left the garden and paths clean and tidy. They certainly went the extra mile to please.
Mr R, DE21
The team which came to my garden were excellent. They were very quick; and did a splendid job – even improving on my original idea of how to cut the branches off the Bird Cherry so that my neighbour could no longer complain that his garden was spoilt by the tree – and the overall shape was saved. The garden was cleared beautifully. Well done.
Mrs JT DE22
We had two monster hedges removed. Paul at the office was brilliant at organising the job, as were the team that removed the hedges and the specilalist stump remover . All done in one day. Everyone was highly professional, courteous and friendly, and all remnants were removed, at a competetive price. Most impressed.
Paul and Deb, Stenson Fields. June 2022
Just to say how delighted we are with your work. You not only were so quick in doing this work – but we have never had work done so tidily. No hesitation in recommending you given the opportunity. Thank the boys for a great job!
Mr E R, Mansfield NG21
This is just a short line to say thank you so much for the excellent service. The young man who had the task of ascending the ash tree was superb – a very competent, sympathetic to the tree and very polite – a pleaser to deal with. All of the branches and cuttings were taken away by them – sadly, I did not get to meet his colleague – both my husband and I were extremely pleased with the results.
