Arboricultural Services in Sussex and London
I used MDJ in connection with a TPO protected tree causing damage to a driveway. I found Matt pleasant to deal with and extremely knowledgeable. His report and advice were instrumental in arriving at a solution.
Nick Anderson
We use Matt for our tree consultancy work. He is always responsive and helpful. His reports are detailed and informative and he has helped us out with some complicated TPO issues. Would highly recommend.
Mrs C
Matt was a great help in giving us perspective on our new garden and the implications of trees for our home. He is very knowledgeable, responsive and most of all practical. We will absolutely be using him for any future tree needs!
Ross MacDonald
Matt helped out on a really tricky application to remove a mature tree in a conservation area in West London, managing to work with us to persuade the council of our position and ultimately get permission. Would highly recommend
