"I am writing to provide a reference for John Royle, an exceptional arborist whom I have had the pleasure of working with for several seasons. John and his team have consistently demonstrated their efficiency and expertise in managing trees of all sizes, making them an invaluable resource for our gardens and properties.

We have utilized John's services in two different locations: the Glen Dene Garden and The Camp at Lake Hawea. Throughout our collaboration, we have witnessed John's vast knowledge and skill in shaping trees to perfection, while also ensuring the appropriate amount of light reaches other areas or vistas, enhancing the overall aesthetics and functionality of the spaces.

One aspect that truly sets John and his team apart is their efficient approach to their work. They employ a mulching machine that significantly contributes to the effectiveness of their operations. This attention to detail and commitment to employing sustainable practices reflects John's dedication to providing the highest quality service.

In addition to their technical proficiency, John and his team have consistently displayed professionalism and reliability. They have been prompt in their responses, organized in their planning, and have consistently met or exceeded our expectations. Their friendly demeanor and willingness to address any concerns or questions have made them a pleasure to work with.

Based on our experiences, I wholeheartedly recommend John Royle as an arborist. His expertise, efficiency, and commitment to delivering outstanding results make him an asset to any project or property. Please feel free to reach out to me if you require any further information or clarification."

"We have engaged Royle Aborists for many years, to carry out regular trimming of a large Macrocarpa boundary hedge and removing two large Macrocarpa trees on our uphill boundary.

Our property is on a steep slope and the Royle team have completed the work with skill and endurance.

Royle Aborists have good equipment and expert knowledge. We can recommend their services without hesitation."
