CDS Tree Services was started by Charlie Schofield in 2020 as a one-man tree surgery operation across south-east Essex. Five years and 40+ verified five-star reviews later, the approach hasn't changed — show up on time, do the job properly, and leave the garden tidier than we found it. In October 2024 we incorporated as a Ltd company so we could grow without losing the personal feel that brought us our first customers. We're still small enough that Charlie's on every job, but big enough to handle anything from a single hedge trim to a full plot clearance.
