The guys trimmed back a very high overhanging ash tree. They were efficient and professional throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate using them again should the need arise and am very happy to recommend them. Carole in Sheffield

An excellent professional service by a hard working team.Rescued our Willow Tunnel that had grown well out of control. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. 30.05.2019 Customer in Sheffield

The men pruning my trees arrived promptly and worked hard. I was really pleased with their work and the level of expertise they showed, not only when cutting and shaping the trees but also with their after care advice. Extremely professional in their conduct and the way in which they completed the job. I would definitely recommend this company to others. 20.05.2019 Customer in Sheffield

Reminded me the wisteria needed pruning. Turned up and did the job with no fuss and to the usual high standard. Friendly and capable. Highly recommended. 21.02.2019 Customer in Sheffield

I have a tall lime tree with a preservation order. They gave good advice on work needed to manage the tree, and a reasonable quote. They handled the necessary process to obtain council permission. They did the work expertly as agreed, on the agreed date, despite wet and windy weather. So an excellent job, with no issues, hassle nor fuss. 11.02.2019 Customer in Sheffield

Got Acme Arb in to take down two large decaying lime trees. Having used them before I knew Geoff and his team would do a professional job from quote to clearing away outstanding service as usual. Highly Recommended 02.02.2019 Customer in Sheffield

Customer Feedback 2018

Employed acme over two days to heavily prune some large sycamore trees. A team of three one day and four the next. All extremely helpful, courteous yet friendly. Did exactly as specified in a very professional and expeditious way. Probably the most impressive aspect was that despite generating lots of unavoidable mess they left the site cleaner and more tidy than it was before they arrived! First time I have used this company but I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to friends 04/12/2018 KP, Sheffield

Very Efficient Came on time , courteous. We had Cypress Hedge Trimmed and lowered , excellent job All cleaned up and removed. Will use again and definitely recommend them 24.10.2018 Radford, Sheffield

Acme Arb have just done 3 days of work for me clearing several trees and areas of shrubs and plants including stump grinding the trees. They turned up as arranged and were very pleasant and hard working. They were nice to work with 01.10.2018 Richard, Sheffield

This is the second year I’ve bought logs for the woodburner from these guys and on both occasions the wood was: – delivered promptly – well seasoned – a good mix containing a generous share of hard wood – very neatly stacked in the woodshed (well worth the extra cost, especially if access is a bit tricky) 19.09.2018 Philippa, Sheffield

We are very happy with the work carried out; communication, promptness, efficiency, price – all much better than anyone else we’ve dealt with before, we’ll be sure to use you if we need anything else in the future and recommend you to friends and colleagues 14.06.2018 Nick, Thorpe Hesley

I just want to say thanks very much, the lads were wonderful and we are really pleased everything they did. Needless to say, we’ve been busy over the weekend planting new shrubs in all the space we now have, and it looks lovely. 11.06.2018 Aileen, Sheffield

A big thankyou to the team who pruned my hedges last Wednesday – despite the unpleasant rain storm – I could not be more delighted. I look forward to the further work which you are arranging later in the summer. 30.05.18 Pat, Sheffield

The work was done exactly as required, including making safe an old ash tree. A second tree reduced and shaped exactly as wanted. The team was well organised and the site left tidy. Highly recommended for any major tree work. 24.05.18 Andrew, Bradway

I used Acme to remove a tree from outside my property. They came and checked out the tree first before providing a quote and were quick to note the problems I was having with it. They were friendly and knew what they were talking about. They were available within a week of me instructing them and turned up promptly. They were really efficient and very thorough, cleaning up and removing all mess. Everything was carried out very professionally. They were very easy to work with from start to finish. All I had to worry about was what to do with the space where the tree used to be! Many thanks. Happy to recommend 15.05.2018 Hayley, Sheffield

We were pleased with the initial response and promptness of carrying out the survey and providing the quotation. We had a 40-year-old scots pine that was in the way of widening our gateway and drive. The team turned up on time, introduced themselves and confirmed what work was to be carried out. Despite appalling weather, they had removed the tree and ground down the stump by mid-afternoon, clearing up as they went. A great result – thank you to everyone at Acme Arb 11.4.18 Ken Mackay

Amiable, knowledgeable, efficient, professional. What more could you need? April 2018 Jenny Emby

Excellent work – A very professional team – many thanks, March 2018 Stuart B

Excellent work carried out by a very competent team. Would definitely recommend, March 2018 Tim Bell

A team of three took down a large London Plane tree that had been planted far too close to our house. They managed to extricate the many telephone wires from the upper branches without any damage and brought the whole thing down within hours. They cleared all the debris and sawdust from my and my neighbours’ properties, leaving just a stump cut off at ground level. Highly recommended Lindsay Rutland

I have been using Acme Arb’s services for many years and have always found them to be knowledgeable, efficient, neat & tidy and very nice people. They also supply excellent logs. I can highly recommend their services John South Yorkshire

Fantastic Company and no silly prices! – Geoff and the team do a great job…friendly and professional on all levels! This is the second time I have used then and would highly recommend! Whirlow - Refurbishment

Very quick response – I contacted ACME, principally to see if they sold un-split and/or split seasoned hardwood and/or softwood logs. they do all four variations. Within 24 hours I had a “van”* load (3 cubic metres** of (two-year) seasoned un-split wood comprising a mix of hard and softwood (mostly hardwood) * for van read tipper-truck! ** for 3 cubic metres read 3 cubic metres, plus The team was very helpful on inquiry, very responsive in terms of delivery, very reliable in terms of delivery time, the logs are in my opinion excellent value and seasoned means ‘seasoned’ I recommend ACMENeil in S8

Good communication at all stages. Reliable and efficient. No complaints. Excellent service.Churchwarden

Customer Feedback 2016

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for a first class job. We are delighted with everything you’ve done. The trees look fantastic. The guys were great and left everything extremely neat and tidy. We will definitely recommend you to others.Louise

Geoff provided expert advice that was really valuable prior to the team taking down two large conifers and pruning another five mature trees. All the work was safely and skilfully undertaken on time and the guys made a good job of clearing up. Importantly the price was competitive and communication from the Company was excellent. The best recommendation is that I would definitely use Acme Arb Ltd again.Chris

Had a 60 foot Cedar removed that was very near our conservatory, mains sewer pipes and above our neighbours new fence. All limbs and trunk sections were expertly removed, rigged and lowered carefully to the ground. A very thorough and professional service from the quote right through to tree removal and clearing up! I highly recommend this company!
Thank you.Keith

Excellent job, this has made such a difference to the light in my house and garden and the trees are a much better shape as a result. Really pleased with how the team cleared up after the job. This will make such a difference. Lovely company to deal with, they made everything very simple and communication was excellent.Liza

Really recommend these. Everything ad it should be. Punctuality, expertise, tidiness. Did a first class job and we will be calling them in for some more work soon.Trevor

Fantastic professional service, friendly and helpful, Brilliant jobMarcus

Hi Geoff, Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the guys that worked on our trees today. They did a fantastic job, very professional and very tidy. It was a horrible day to be outside but they carried on regardless. Thanks again Sam

Hi Geoff, Just a quick note to say thank you for sorting out my trees and hedges again.
The lads did a great job as always. They were very friendly and offered lots of helpful advice
whether to remove a tree or not. I’m glad I went with their suggestions as it looks fabulous now, with much more light in the garden.
I particularly liked the idea of turning the stumps into what looks like giant mushrooms. Ingenius and they said it’s good for the garden.
I’ll be using you again when the hedges get out of control next time.
Thanks againTim

Thank you for today. The Boys have done a great job. Please let me have the final bill and I will forward payment. Thanks againSarah

Hi Geoff, thanks so much for doing my tree job so promptly, fantastic! I have no excuse for not getting on & sorting out my wee bit of garden now… Many apologies you got “Norma-ed”, she does like to interfere… I have paid by bank transfer today, I believe, so do please contact me if there are any problems with this! Kind regards,Rosie

Hello Geoff I am emailing you to thank you for the reliable service and excellent work done today. Access to remove the large birch and hawthorn tree was not easy and the impact on the rest of the garden was absolutely minimal. Also the sympathetic pruning of the other trees and shrubs and the way that everything was cleared and tidied at the end of the day is most appreciated. Once again many thanks to you and your team. Kind RegardsDavid Beech

Hi Geoff Thanks for doing all the tree cutting for us while we were away on holiday. We are really pleased with the results. It had really opened up the garden removing that big tree and we now have a good view of the garden from the house which is great. We will make payment via bank transfer over the weekend Many thanks againAnnabel

Customer Feedback 2015

Hi Geoff
Just want to say thanks for such a great job in removing our dying 50-60 year old poplar tree. Appreciated your fast response to our enquiry and the on the spot competitive quote. We were really impressed with the professional and careful work of you and your team on the day and especially the tidy state that you left after such a messy job. Photos attached as promised. Best wishesMartin and Janet

Hi Geoff. Good to see you last week. Payment has been authorised and will be sent tomorrow. Many thanks for a job well done. Although I don’t claim to be a tree expert everything was completed to our satisfaction within the agreed timescales and you left everything neat and tidy. We would not hesitate to use you again in the future and would like to thank all the team for their hard work and effort. Thanks also for leaving the wood chip which will come in very useful on our dog walking path. With best wishes for the future.Peter Thompson RSPCA

Dear Geoff, I am very happy. Lots more light. I am particularly impressed with the lack of mess and trampling. Thank you. By the way, I think one of your workers has left a pair of rather nice leather gloves behind. Does someone want to pick them up?Christine

Hi Geoff, We’re really pleased with the results, it’s sad to see the big tree go, but it’s made a huge difference to the garden and we get the benefit of the wood for burning now at least I’ve just sent through a payment for the invoice, it should reach your account at some point tomorrow, let me know if there are any issues. Thanks to you and your team for doing such a professional job, I’ll certainly pass on your number to any friends who need any work doing. Paul

Professional and competent service from beginning to end. Acme Arb Ltd did exactly what they said they would in the time they said they would resulting in a beautiful finish – my Beech tree looks wonderful!Tracey Patrick

Dear Geoff. Just an email to say how pleased we were with the work your team carried out recently. Every member of the team was polite and helpful, and we are delighted with the results. Please pass on our thanks, and we look forward to your company carrying out our annual hedge and shrub maintenance next year. Do feel free to invoice us directly next time. Many thanks and best wishes. Sally and Rod Ismay

Hello Geoff. Thanks for the fabulous job you and your team did on the trees last week. It was so good that we’ve already passed on your details to a couple of friends who will hopefully contact you about work for them. I’ve paid your bill today by bank transfer and the money should be in your account already using the reference INV 012256. Please let me know if it hasn’t arrived. You also offered to let us have a couple of big rounds to support the lintel we use as a seat by our pond. If you could drop them off at some point that would be great. No hurry though! All the best with the business.David

Hi Geoff. Many thanks for all the work last week, very pleased with the final results and also the way it was done, both excellent! Regards John and Pat Niblett

Dear Geoff, Just a note to let you know we are posting the cheque to you today. We would also like to thank you & your team for the fantastic job they did,on our TPO trees. They have been pruned as we would wish, very sympathetically to their future growth, but removed all the problem branches without making them look hacked about. We are very pleased. Not only that, they tidied up brilliantly, and were lovely. Our neighbour was also happy & impressed We will certainly recommend you.Anon

Customer Feedback 2014

Hi Geoff; I really must thank you for the brilliant job you did when felling the Silver Birch in the rear garden. There was no damage to the Amelanchier or the other shrubs around the tree which I must admit were all rather too close to one another. The tree was so carefully removed, everything staying in my garden, although I had permission to enter my neighbour’s property if necessary. Then the clearing up afterwards! No mess, no bits and bobs for me to get rid of, when you had gone it was as though there never was a tree in the garden. Please pass on my thanks also to the chap who worked with you. Once again many thanks- the standard of work was excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to someone in need of a tree surgeon. RegardsDavid Andrews - S17

Geoff and his team (Jon & Dave) did such an impressive job on our garden which has a Tree Preservation Order, he made it all very easy and nothing was a problem. They all worked very quickly and safely and went above and beyond our expectations, the cost was very reasonable, they all worked extremely hard and were a pleasure to have around. I cannot recommend them highly enough and would gladly have them back any time.Jo & Gail - Bradway, Sheffield

Hi Geoff Thanks for this. The work was great and I’ll look at the other work and get back to you to book you in again. ThanksAlex - Lucozade Powerleague Sheffield

Hello Geoff, Really happy with the tree you did yesterday. It looks like a real tree again, hooray! Thanks a lot for a great job,Michael (woodseats)

Dear Geoff, Just a quick ‘thankyou’ for the work you have just carried out trimming the trees in our garden. I wanted you to know how pleased we both are with the work you have done. You have done the work better than any other tree surgeon we have had in the past. I shall definitely be in touch with you in the future. Thanks again.M Crampin

Hello Geoff, thank you very much for your advice, and the great job you have done in our garden. We Were confused about what to do, and you have really been very helpful. Thank you again.Françoise and Bruno (Sheffield S10)

We have been extremely happy with Geoff’s work – have used his services now on numerous occasions and definitely plan to use again. He is a skilled and very experienced professional who offers plenty of advice and helpful suggestions, followed by expertly completed works – all achieved to a high standard. One extra bonus for me is that Geoff actually answers his phone or quickly returns calls or texts! He has been fully reliable – whatever the weather – turns up punctually and has always cleared the site afterwards, leaving the site in a better condition. Service completed with a smile and cheerful attitude!GMW Director SGC Ltd

I chose Geoff’s company for being the first to reply intelligently when I Googled for tree surgeons. He has now done two jobs for the Moscar Estate and both have gone quickly, safely and efficiently. When he told me a heavy branch had dented the tarmac driveway he repaired the dent within 24 hours. His prices seem expensive at first, but are worth it for the problem-free results.Jeremy (Moscar Lodge)

I was impressed by the service delivered by Geoff. He was prompt and efficient. He arrived when he said he would, did the job and cleared away the debris. Altogether a highly recommended service.Catherine (Hillsborough)

Hello Geoff, just a quick e.mail to say a big thankyou to you and your colleagues for the excellent work carried out in removing the overgrown shrubs obstructing the public footpath and the tidy manner in which the site was left. Without a doubt we will be using you again (conifers next) for future work and i will have no hesitation in recommending you to relatives and friends should your services be required.Mr & Mrs T Denton (Sothall)

Geoff and his team at Acme Tree Surgery provided an excellent service. The work was carried out promptly and on the day required, no messing about or excuses. The standard of workmanship was high and carried out safely. Finally, all litter was tidied up and taken away afterwards.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company.Mark (Dore Sheffield)
