About US - Proprietor's Message

From a young age, it was (all things) mechanical, plant, forestry, sports, and in later years, tree surgery combined a good number of these skills into one.

Starting out at a plant hire firm around the age of 16, 17 - I gained a lot of knowledge and understanding in this field. I then went onto a 360 machine as an operator. Keen to see all aspects in the industry, I completed training as a welder, and received futher education in fab work and machine repairs. This gave me valuable experience working on sites and in the workshop. In addition to this, I was employed at a large-scale farm/agri contractor for a period of around 5 years. 

From there, it was tree work and log splitting at weekends, to gradually taking on more work. A team was quickly built with like-minded individuals. To this day, profits are still re-invested into the company and there are aspirations to expand.

Don't just take our word. View our Client Testimonials.

We take client feedback very seriously. For us, it's of utmost importance that a customer has job satisfaction when we complete. Unfortunately, we see too many unfinished projects, unhappy customers and scars on landscapes, it pains us to be branded along the same lines! We set about early in business to change this. See our client testimonial section.

CLIENT Testimonials

Here is what our clients say...

Graham Crawford, Cammo Estate.

Big thanks to Brendan and Wade, who have made a very difficult leaning tree - look easy. I would recommend their straightforward thinking to anyone.... I must add too, they left my garden immaculate when finished.

GIVE US A RATING

Home Owner, Faucheldean.

This was a large clearance job, I was unsure who to ask or how to go about it - but a friend said the lads at Glendevon could do it. They brought in the machinery and were all cleared up in three days.

Brian Kemp, South Queensferry.

Really grateful for the work the boys have done. Nothing was too much hassle, and worked evenings to get this finished on time. Thanks again!

We where rushing to get these in the ground before the planting season was out, so I give Brendan a call. They've pulled out all the stops, even working a weekend to complete it. Very impressed, thanks guys!

50ft Eucalyptus crown reduction. Client Testimonial.
