“We were really pleased when somebody recommended Rick as a thoroughly professional and knowledgeable arborist. Luckily we live in a fairly leafy suburb, and it was amazing to find that many people in our neighbourhood had actually been employing Rick for years. Looking at the result of his expertise is the best recommendation one can get. And now we also enjoy his knowledge and professional skills to keep our garden to a high standard. Rick is an expert whose advice we trust and we think extremely highly of him.”

“I have a long hedge that needs pruning regularly and Rick has been doing a magnificent job of the hedge and other gardening needs for around 10 years. He’s always on time, polite, does a thorough clean up, and always provides good, sound gardening advice. I have no hesitation recommending Rick!”

“We have employed Rick consistently for more than 10 years as a highly skilled arborist on our large, leafy hillside property in Canberra. Our property includes many diverse dense shrubs and high deciduous and evergreen trees, which present multiple challenges for any arborist. Rick has readily provided expert advice on the rejuvenation of our garden and we certainly appreciate his knowledge and willingness to complete our requests on time and with a smile! ”

“Over several years Rick has provided a very reliable, friendly and high quality service to keep our hedges looking their best. His easy going nature belies a super professional approach: always punctual, takes time to understand the brief and displays great care to ensure his customers are happy. Great value for money, excellent customer service and a lovely guy. Thoroughly recommend him. ”

“Twenty years ago I decided to seek help to maintain my sixty-year-old hedge. I found Rick Bryson by speaking to neighbours who had the best maintained hedges in my part of Yarralumla. Rick refurbished my hedge to restore its unruly shape and improve its density, and has maintained it ever since. I am now the proud owner of a beautiful, tidy, compact hedge that provides a soft, green, private space in my garden. Rick works to a high standard, and is a ready source of expert, qualified advice for my trees. He is efficient, reliable, and always cheerful. I recommend his services without reservation. ”

“I have known Rick Bryson for almost 20 years. Rick has taken care of all the hedges surrounding my house and has given me excellent advice on various horticultural problems that have arisen in the garden. I have always found Rick to be very pleasant, honest, punctual and extremely professional. I have no hesitation in recommending Rick to anyone who requires a first class arborist and horticulturist. ”

“We have been using the services of Rick Bryson for over 10 years. Rick comes 3 or 4 times each year. We have a significant number of hedges and deciduous trees that need to be kept under control.

I would strongly recommend Rick. As an horticulturist his knowledge is of a high standard. Before starting he spends time in ensuring there is mutual understanding of the work to be undertaken.

Rick is hard working, reliable, talented and friendly. He uses the latest equipment and prepares to undertake work to ensure safety and achieve the outcome that we are after. Our garden always looks so much better once Rick has finished his work. We take great pride in our garden and with Rick’s professional assistance we have a garden to be proud of.”

“I have been a customer of Rick’s for over 20 years. Rick is meticulous in his work, his advice is evidence based, and he is always focused on delivering the best outcome for his customer.”

“For almost 15 years Rick has been pruning my trees and trimming my shrubs and hedges. He is reliable, arrives on time and on the rare occasion of an unexpected issue he advises me and works to a rescheduled date to suit my calendar. Rick’s work is of the highest standard and he provides valuable advice and tips on maintenance. I often receive very positive comments on my front hedge - he is a perfectionist with shape! I highly recommend him.”

“Rick has been trimming my hedges and foliage for 20 years at least. Think this says how pleased I have been with his service.”

“I have a very tall hedge that it is extremely difficult to prune and I needed to find a reliable and qualified tree surgeon. Rick Bryson came highly recommended as a Horticulturist and Tree Surgeon by my gardener and also by the nursery where I purchase my plants.

Rick has an amazing understanding of horticulture and was able to offer advise to us on how to improve the health and appearance of our hedge that was looking very ordinary.

He takes pride in ensuring the work he does improves the appearance your garden landscape. He is always happy to provide suggestions for future garden maintenance and how to take the best care of your plants for best results.

Rick is extremely professional as he arrives on time, works very hard and is very friendly and approachable. We would have no hesitation in recommending Rick - your garden will be in terrific hands.”

“Rick Bryson has provided gardening service for us since 2007. We have always found Rick to be a very knowledgeable and professional horticulturist, as well as a friendly, reliable and punctual individual. We will continue to use Rick’s services and wish him all the best in his horticultural endeavours. ”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rick on numerous occasions and am always inspired by the professionalism, craft, and care he brings to each job. Dedicated to a quality outcome his attention to detail is always appreciated.”

“We have used Rick for many years to trim the large hedges in our front yard. He is honest, reliable and always turns up when he says he is going to. Rick always returns phone messages, is meticulous about billing for only the time spent on your job, and he knows what he is doing — he trims a mean hedge! One of our hedges requires ladders to be set up in our neighbour’s driveway and Rick has established a great rapport with the neighbours as well. He is also thoughtful about things like ensuring the bins are moved if its rubbish day and his trailer is likely to be in the way. All in all, two thumbs up. ”

“Rick has been coming around once a year for the last six years pruning fruit trees and roses, cutting back a large Banksia screen, removing dead limbs and shaping ornamental trees, and taking green waste to recycling. He has an excellent knowledge of horticulture and a good range of equipment to do the job properly. We discuss the garden as he works and I find him totally reliable and very easy to get along with.” ”
