Ten thousand oaks of one hundred years are no substitute for one five hundred year old oak tree. I started out on the tools, in 1996, and then combined this experience with study at Merrist Wood College and Westonbirt Arboretum, while learning the craft further through work with various organisations, including the RHS gardens at Wisley and work as a freelance arborist in New Zealand, Australia and the UK.
I was often responsible for overseeing technical and specialised large tree surgery works and removals. Since setting up The Good Tree Company, I have also been lecturing in arboriculture and assessing candidates wishing to attain certificates of competence in tree climbing and chainsaw operations.

Ten thousand oaks of one hundred years are no substitute for one five hundred year old oak tree. Because trees are such an integral part of our lives, we cannot but be aware that our work with them can affect that environment. Trees are important for so many reasons: beauty, shelter, habitat, well-being, shade, screening, shape, fruit and timber - not to mention breathing.
This scheme has been running for nearly 40 years. The concept is to give assurance to clients that they are employing companies that have high standards of tree care. The regular checks carried out by the Arb Association look at the quality of work, the manner of work, client care, and all aspects of health and safety and legislation, from the office and workshop to the workplace.

Positive: Professionalism
Jonathan and his team having been looking after our trees for several years, and we wouldn't use anyone else. Jonathan's advice on pruning is always excellent and spot on, and the team work diligently and are always tidy. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
