Home » Shrubs And Bush Maintenance The Green
The cutting back of large shrubs and bushes falls in The Green into two categories – Evergreen & Deciduous.
Evergreen – Shrubs Like Ceanothus, Choisya, Laurel, Elaeagnus, Photinia (Red Robin), Euonymus, Pittosporum, Viburnum and the like can be cut back any time in their growing season from April through till October.
If the plant in question flowers, then to save the flowers time, cut back as soon as possible after flowering.
Deciduous – Shrubs like Lilac, Forsythia, Philadelphus, Buddleja, Sambucus (Elderberry), Deutzia, Ribes and Kerria.
These plants can be cut back at any time of the year, but remember that if you cut them back before flowering you will lose the flowers that year.

Did the job and cleaned up well afterwards.
Was very happy with the work carried out, the removal of part of a damaged hedge and some trimming. Darren was extremely knowledgable, professional and reliable. We would highly recommend and will certainly ask him back when we need more work done in our garden.
Brilliant job very professional will recommend and use again.
Delighted with the work carried out pruning my trees. George was very knowledgeable when giving the quote explaining what I could expect from the state of my trees. He was able to carryout work immediately. He was efficient, very tidy and checked frequently I was satisfied with the extent of his prune. A very good price . Prompt service from first call to job being finished. Would definitely recommend.

Great professional job, clean and tidy.
Very good service.

Very well done, many thanks Temple Tree Care.
Tidied a number of trees in our front garden; great job done through a Bank Holiday morning, no less. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Very speedy response, excellent job, exactly as requested and everywhere very clean and tidy.
Extremely knowledgable about checking for birds nests before work was even considered, which I have never been made aware of before. They provided a very competitive price to remove two conifers and to lower some other large conifers. On the day they all worked very quickly and did a brilliant tidy job, even trimming the plants from the neighbours sides after asking the neighbours for permission to do so. Highly recommended.
My only criticism would be communication with client. I text twice about payment method and never received a response and even then I had to ask again once they arrived. Had my other half not been home early from work I would have had to cart my three months old baby out with me so I could get the cash. Also were much later then originally advised, a quick text message on both points would have been all that was required and would have then scored 10 but as no communication received have marked down. Other than this work was completed to a very high standard and would use again if required.
Very competent and professional
The work was very well done. The guys were very courteous and knowledgeable about all the trees and all the problems that each one had and how to deal with it. They worked hard and got the job done to a high standard. They tidied up and left the garden neat and tidy. Highly recommend.
Would use them again. Highly recommended.
I could not have asked for a more professional and hard working, friendly people, there was no after mess in or out doors, I could not have been more satisfied.
Very professional and friendly team. Cleaned up afterward and shredded all the cuttings.
Very polite and helpful team.
Prompt, efficient, professional and courteous. Would highly recommend work carried out by Darren Temple. We are very please with the finished result.
Work carried out very professionally and very quickly. Left both front and back garden completely clean and tidy.
Darren understood exactly what we wanted doing. He arrived when he said he would and provided an excellent service. His team were all very polite and took great care in what they were doing. The job was completed very much to our satisfaction and they also cleared up well at the end. I would certainly recommend Temple Tree Care.
Very professional, tidy and very reliable. Will strongly recommend. Well done really satisfied and happy with you work Thanks
Very punctual, professional tradesman. Worked hard all day, cautious not to cause any damage. Cleared up at end of day. Even came back and trimmed the trunk a little shorter. Very pleased.
Jolly good service, very nice people.
Very efficient and tidy, we were very pleased with them.
Quick, clean work. To my satisfaction.

I contacted Darren who promptly assessed the work and gave a price, work was completed the following afternoon and our tenant was pleased with the pruning and subsequent tidy up. No problems in recommending this team as they did what they said they would at the price agreed up front.
The team were able to work at short notice. They gave good guidance and cleaned up afterwards.
Very polite, professional and tidy. Very quick too.
Removal of 5 conifers and a very large Willow tree Could recommend to anyone enough of the professionalism and Hard work of Darren and his fellow men We had 5 very tall conifers removed and he kept us informed as to how these will come down so no damage to any property or outbuildings occurred. Chopped up all and disposed of all branches and tree's and took away Will defiantly be recommending to any one who is in need of a Tree Surgeon and later this year be using again in the autumn for just tree maintenance.
Very professional, very polite and very tidy.
Excellent job – very tidy.
Very good and professional.
The guys worked very efficiently and done what was agreed
this is the second time that i have used temple tree care and again i was not disappointed,darren and his team were outstanding from start to the finish pruneing my trees they were so good that i would recomend them to carry out this type of work.the only way that you would no any work had been carried is to look at the finished trees.
Very polite and efficient. Called back as promised and arrived on day and time agreed. I would recommend.
Very happy and would definitely recommend.
The boys arrived to give a quote only. However, I agreed to the price and they were able to fit me in before the next customer. A great job, nice and tidy. Would use them again and would recommend.
A very polite and considerate man came to speak to me and I was very happy with the way he explained what needed to be done to our very old oak tree. He was the first Tree surgeons ( we have had many) who seemed to know how to balance the tree properly. A team of five worked quickly and carefully so the job was finished in a few hours with little inconvenience to us or our neighbours. They have also thinned it beautifully. I can't wait to see it in the summer in full glory! I will certainly be recommending them to my friends.
Just had Darren and the team round from Temple Tree Care, and we couldn’t be happier. From initial contact with Darren, he was polite and friendly. Came round that day to discuss requirements. Provided advice on other plants/trees in the garden that might not be good for our small children which was really useful. On the day, the team were prompt, clean/tidy and very efficient, making short work of a nasty party of our garden. I couldn’t recommend these guys enough … honest, hard working guys who know what they’re doing when it comes to trees! I’ll definitely be going back. Thanks !
3 Trees pruned. Very efficient and a great job done.
There was no mess to clear up afterwards.
They were very professional and courteous and can be relied upon to do a excellent job. I would strongly recommend to anyone wishing to have their trees felled.
Worked quickly and efficiently to remove a difficult tree (Leylandii) and ensured that the whole area was cleaned up properly, including the road outside where the wood chipper was used. Excellent job all round!
Cut my conifers. Done a lovely job.
Darren was very courteous giving a quotation and during removal of tree. Asked exactly what I wanted to be done and acted accordingly. Removed fence panels and garden ornaments prior to work to avoid any damage. Highly recommended.
Excellent service, from initial quote (which was on a par with others) to the removal of the tree. Friendly, polite and efficient. Work was carried out as I requested, with no issues. Would definitely recommend.
I have a number of laurel bushes that run approximately 30 ft alongside my property. Temple Tree Care came and reduced the height to 8 ft from approximately15 ft and cut them back to the kerb which was 4 ft. When providing the estimate evidence of PL cover and qualifications were provided with out being asked for. They were very prompt on turning up and carried out the work efficiently having coned off the work area. All debris was chipped and removed with the area being swept. I would certainly recommend them.
would recommend work carried out work professionally cleaned up after job done to our satisfaction when our trees need cutting again will call Temple tree care
He is wonderful, he is the best person you could ever meet.
Very good job done, all the waste plus all the parts of tree taken away.
The men did the work as I wanted and advised me how to keep the tree in good condition.
Darren and his workmate were very knowledgeable and helpful. They did the work quickly and exactly as I wanted. They tidied up after themselves and I would have no hesitation in using them again and would highly recommend them.

This company has served me for years and I highly recommend them,
Darren and his team had done work for us before. They have proved quick, efficient and reliable. They are aware of the safety implications of the work they do and arrive with the proper tools and safety equipment for the job.
Good work carried out, efficiently and in a courteous manner. Highly recommended.
Good, quick and clean service.

Thank you for doing a great job! Tina and Kevin
Darren and his team were very professional reliable and worked very hard removing a large hedge of conifers. They left the premises spotless and wouldn't hesitate to recommend
Pleasure to work with them.
Removal of fallen tree and pruning one more. The work could not have been done more effectively and professional.
Very polite, professional and efficient… even in the rain! Thank you!
Darren and the team were excellent. On time, they kicked off with the tree removal with a chipper onsite. The team were attentive to the waste generated and tidied up accordingly. Neighbours were engaged to ensure zero impact to their garden. The stump removal was completed the same day and the garden left in good order. A blank canvas for us now to work with. Would certainly recommend Darren and his service.
Good work and very tidy after they finished
Polite and helpful, could not have been more efficient.
After the initial assessment visit, I was kept informed about their arrival time. They worked quickly and efficiently, and did exactly what I’d asked them to. They tidied up afterwards and removed all the waste. And their services came at a reasonable price too. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.
Very professional service in felling and removing all the trees, and leaving the garden tidy, all the same day, all round excellent job, so will be using their services again when required.
Very pleased with the work carried out by an expert tree surgeon. All in all an excellent job.
Great professional, job clean and tidy.
Very good work. 10 out of 10.
Found Darren and his team last year to have a tree removed on there advice I was told it is not advisible to remove a large tree in one go, so They removed as much as they thought was right last year and I had no hesitation in getting them back to finish the job this year and as before they have done a fantastic job and would not hesitate to recomend them. They leave everything almost as it was when they arrived which is some feat when you think about the amount of mess that is created.
Darren and his team did a brilliant job. On his initial visit he impressed us with his polite and professional manner. He gave us lots of advice but there was no high pressure sales pitch. Our trees, which were over thirty feet tall, were removed quickly and efficiently with due regard for everyone’s safety. A huge amount of debris was created but it was quickly cleared away and the garden was left as tidy as possible. We thoroughly recommend Temple Tree Care.
Worked well in unpleasant conditions. Would use them again if the occasion arises.
At short notice Darren came and quoted, because of the dangerous situation he had the team there within an hour. The felling/ stacking of the waste tidily was completed within two hours. Many thanks very much appreciated. Highly recommended.
Sycamore tree dismantled. They completed the work and carried it out professionally.
Superb quality and very efficient, left no mess what so ever.
Have used before, he’s clean, tidy, a professional man. Unbelievable how good he is. Over the moon.
Well done.
They came round to quote. Quote was acceptable and they were able to do the work there and then. Quick, efficient and tidied up. Would recommend.
Darren and the guys were fantastic. Phoned to let me know he was on the way. Arrived when he said he would. Got straight on with the job, no messing around. Tree came down in no time at all. I'm not sure if price quoted was good as we didn't get any other quotes (couple of tree surgeons didn't call us back) Darren did. Irrelevant really as we were happy with what we paid for the work we had done. Would absolutely recommend Temple Tree Care.
Job done quickly. No fuss. No mess to clear up after.
Very impressed with the work carried out by the company, good competitive price would recommend this company.
Very good, no complaints or negative comment.
Excellent and very professional from beginning to end. Will use again and highly recommend.
Could not recommend these Darren and his fellow guys any more they are true professionals and did exactly what I asked them to do with the cutting down and maintenance of our trees. Kept us informed of all procedures and cut up and took away all the tree waste, I will be recommending them and defiantly use them again later in the Autumn.
Efficient and friendly.
Excellent job, very efficient team and amenable. I would recommend.
This is the second time I have used Temple Tree Care. On both occasions the team arrived as arranged and completed the work in a very professional and efficient manner, clearing every trace of timber and leaf which had been removed, including that which had to be lowered into a neighbours garden. The shape and size of the trees after the work was completed was exactly as required. I would not hesitate to recommend this service.
Great service. Removed a tree and trimmed back two others in around 60 minutes. Kept areas tidy after and diligent. I would recommend
Temple Tree Care responded very quickly to an emailed request for a quote to fell our eucalyptus tree. They came to quote when they said they would and communicated well when stuck in traffic and were delayed. Gave advice and a very fair and non-pushy quote. Price was reasonable considering our 50ft tree was really precarious to climb and fell in our very small garden! The guys were really courteous and tidied up well, even cutting the wood into firewood sized pieces for us. Definitely recommended.
Competitive quote prompt efficient service very tidy leaving my trees and garden looking lovely and lots more sunshine!
They did excellent job. Would recommend them to do the same work any were.

Keen price, done the work that was requested (and a little extra one thrown in too). Came to quote 6pm Monday night. Price agreed and carried out the work the same night. Two trees and stumps removed and cleared away in around hour. Impressed as Darren and his 4 man crew already carried out a days work.
Excellent service .
Very good service
This company was the best I have ever had for the pruning and shaping of my trees and hedges. They were professional tree surgeons having to work at times in a confined space. When the work was completed they removed all the debris and my garden was left clean and tidy. Excellent workmanship.
Really pleased with the work.. nice guys very professional and friendly too. Made a great job of cutting down the tree, was really quick and cleaned up afterwards too. Would definitely recommend.
Billy was very professional and punctual and nice to deal with – and did a great job of clearing my garden – so I would recommend him highly.

Good service.

Darren and his team worked efficiently to clear stubborn tree roots within a restricted area around a drain. They were hard-worked and courteous at all times. They successfully completed the job and cleared the site well.
A very prompt, efficient, and friendly service
We cannot fault the service we received.
We were very impressed by the service provided by Temple Tree Care. Darren came to provide a quote on the same day that I contacted him, and was able to complete the work the following week. Temple are very knowledgable and professional. The price was competitive and I believe we received good value for money. The team were punctual, friendly and very clean – you wouldn't have known they had been there, other than a much nicer, brighter garden! I wouldn't hesitate to use Temple again, and would highly recommend them to others.
Good clean, efficient workers and would not hesitate to recommend them.
