As Head Gardener at Dulwich Park I have had the opportunity over the past 4 years to observe the tree surgical talents of Hamish Lodge, Cut Above Tree Management. Hamish has always impressed me with his arbouricultural skills being very efficient, careful and accurate when tree felling, not damaging surrounding plants or structures whilst ensuring public safety. For these reasons I choose him for my private jobs too.

On a more personal level, he is a friendly positive person who always seems to be enjoying his work. No doubt this attitude will serve him well in his professional life. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish Hamish well and look forward to seeing more of his work in the future.

Having worked with Hamish Lodge, Cut Above Tree Management over the last 4 years, I have always been impressed with the way in which Hamish is able to overcome very awkward dynamics when it comes to tree surgery. We often request him to carry out emergency works which are dangerous as he has the skill base and also the site safety to deal with this type of work. He is very personable and is always a pleasure to work with.

I have worked with Hamish Lodge, Cut Above Tree Management over the last 4 years. We look after some prestigious clients in central London as well as housing associations and private clients, where we have used Hamish to do all of our tree work. He is reliable both for estimating, communicating with local authorities in regards to TPO and conservation areas, and finally to carry out the tree work in what is normally a very tight schedule. Thank you.

We write to thank you for the arboricultural work carried out to the above trees. The result is a considerable improvement in their appearance and extra light for the facing houses, i.e. natural light and also artificial light from the (previously obscured) street lamps on the Thames path. The site was kept secure, cleared of cut branches etc and swept up and left tidy. Special thanks go to Hamish and Andy the tree surgeons deployed on the day.

The good Hamish Lodge, who was recommended to me by a neighbour, has just this morning got rid of the ugly great conifer, and a dead cherry tree, leaving me with one good cherry tree. Good and neat work and reasonable price, so I can recommend him to others.

I had a total nightmare with my cherry tree – I had some very poor work done on it before which almost ruined it. I used a guy called Hamish Lodge from Cut Above and now it looks lovely. Very well priced and professional. Thank you Hamish – will definitely use you again!

Can recommend Hamish Lodge. We got the number from the thread on the East Dulwich Forum and he’s just made a nice job of our ash tree. Very tidy work plus also dealt with council as we’re in a tree conservation area.
