ARBORICULTURE SPECIALISTS

A local firm, Turnbull Tree Care undertook important tree work in the garden including felling 3 trees, high pruning of 2 conifers and the thinning out of a rather tall beech hedge. The small team did an excellent job, we cannot praise them enough. In a garden like Cluny, great care is required in order not to damage plants beneath the tree canopy. Turnbull Tree Care completed the work efficiently and with complete understanding of the ethos of the garden.
