  • Tree Work

    Paul Stanley

    Really pleased with the tree work completed by Ashley this week, I wouldn't hesitate to use Borders & Boundaries Ltd again in future. Friendly and professional, communication before site visit excellent, turned up at the agreed time and everything done without fuss as per the agreed scope of works, leaving everything tidy at the end of the day - highly recommended!

  • Tree Removal

    Tom P

    Ashley and the team did a fantastic job removing two large trees from our garden. They were prompt, professional and left the garden and drive very tidy afterwards. Recommended.

    Amazing experience with Ashley for the removal of a very tall palm tree! He was quick to quote (and a great price), great communication, really friendly and tidied up everything. Super professional, couldn’t be happier. Will definitely use him again if any further work is needed. Thank you :)

    Paul Miller

    We were originally given Ashley’s number because we thought he was just a tree surgeon. We only wanted some trees removed to make the garden feel bigger and tidier. While he was here quoting, he mentioned that Borders & Boundaries also do fencing, so we explained the type of fence we were after. Straight away, he understood exactly what we wanted and knew it was something they could do. They were booked up for about a month, which was absolutely fine by us. Ashley said they’d be there on Monday morning, and sure enough, 8am on the dot, he and his team arrived and got straight to work. No chasing, no excuses, no drama—just a team that clearly knew what they were doing. They removed all the trees, took out the root balls, and installed a stunning new fence that has completely transformed our garden. I’m quite particular when it comes to detail, and there was one thing about our old fence that had always bothered me. I wanted the new fence done differently to correct it, but before I even had the chance to explain it properly, Ashley had already spotted exactly what I meant and built it the way I’d hoped. That really impressed me because it showed he genuinely cares about getting things right rather than just getting the job finished. We also hit a small problem with the gate that had been ordered. Fitting it as originally planned would have meant drilling into our side access. Instead of making it an issue, Ashley simply said, “Why don’t we do it this way?” His solution was better than anything I’d have come up with myself, and the finished result is all the better for it. As someone who runs a business myself, I know how important good workmanship and customer service are, and I’m also a firm believer that when a company does an outstanding job, they deserve the recognition. Borders & Boundaries were brilliant from start to finish. Great communication, turned up exactly when they said they would, worked incredibly hard, charged a fair price, and the quality of the workmanship is first class. It’s rare these days to find a company that genuinely exceeds expectations, but Ashley and his team did exactly that. I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Borders & Boundaries to anyone looking for fencing, tree work or landscaping. Thanks again, you’ve done an amazing job.

  • Trees & Hedge

    Martine Leggett

    Absolutely amazing transformation, we had 2 stubborn trees and a very uneven overgrown hedge that the guys had to tackle but looks great. The communication to book a date in for the quote and the actual work to be done was so efficient and easy.

In the community

Proud to Be Part of Southwater

Being local means more to us than the jobs we take on. We’ve put up the fencing at Southwater Football Club and sponsored the end-of-year yearbook for a local special needs school [CONFIRM name/permission], so every pupil could have one.

Supporting the community that supports us is part of who we are.
