Savage + Holme

Ranked 8 of 12 in Tree surgeons in Telford

Unknown

Telford · Service area: Telford

Our verdict

Our verdict: this suits you if you need commercial-scale clearance or technical tree work rather than routine garden pruning [1]. We rate the stated commercial specialism as its distinguishing point. Before booking, ask for insurance documents, relevant certificates and a written specification of the cut.

Industry qualifications

Can't be sourced. We looked at the issuing registers, the business's own website and platforms such as Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders and found no scheme membership or registration to record.

Ratings on other sites

Recorded with source, scale, count and the date read. These are not our own ratings.

Strengths

  • The website claims over 20 years established in utility and commercial vegetation work across Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire [1].

  • The stated specialism — technical trees, site clearance and utility safety work — is unusually specific for this round [1].

Limitations

  • Only 1 Google review exists, so customer evidence is unscored [3].

  • No qualifications are published [1][2]. No insurance details or company record is published, so those criteria are unscored [1][2].
