I cannot recommend Silverback highly enough

We have used Chris and the team at Silverback for the last 6 years. They offer a friendly, professional and efficient service with a passion for all things trees. They add significant value and professionalism to the planning process and have been able to guide us through some tricky situations particularly with on site TPO trees which have enabled the scheme to be sensitively designed, very often retaining trees which are incorporated into the final design. I cannot recommend Silverback highly enough.

We recommend the services of Silverback

"Frampton Cotterell Parish Council have employed Silverback on more than one occasion to commission various arboriculturalist reports to help with the annual management of its land. Our Centenary field has already benefited from the expert five-year tree management plan and we continue with year two of our second five-year plan. We have found the services of Silverback to be very helpful and prompt. We recommend the services of Silverback".

Kim Jefferies, Clerk, Frampton Cotterell Parish Council

Very professional level of service

"Since our initial meeting with Chris in 2017, we have received nothing other than a very professional level of service. No issue encountered during the various collaborative projects we have instructed, have ever been too big or small for him or his team to resolve. Silverback Arboricultural Consultancy are extremely knowledgeable and well versed in engaging with the Council in order to best resolve any Arboricultural issue(s) encountered, whilst also being quick to respond to queries and efficient in managing our many, often complex requirements. To top it all off Chris and his team are very friendly, approachable and always happy to help. We cannot recommend the company or services highly enough and will not hesitate to work with them again."

Excellent advice and clear direction

“I would just like to take this opportunity of thanking you for all your continuing support concerning our various TPO difficulties with the Local Authority. Our win with the 2015 threatened TPO was largely due to your excellent advice and clear direction concerning how we should present our case both in writing and during the Authorities visits. It is most helpful to have someone from whom we can seek advice who understands all the issues from the landowners and legal perspective as well as the Local Authority drivers.”

Terry J Wood, managing Director, Griff Chains Ltd

Thanks again for all your help

"Many thanks for the work you’ve undertaken for us recently, which is much appreciated. To be honest the whole eco/enviro side of our business is becoming increasingly more difficult to navigate through, with constantly changing legislation and local authority requirements, but at least you can see the wood from the trees! Thanks again for all your help."
