Started in 2020, built on word of mouth
Billy Harley set up Harley Forestry in 2020. He runs it with Matt Stanley as a small, properly qualified team doing honest work for local people — without the overheads and hard sell of a big company.
Most of our work still comes from recommendations, and we're proud of that.
We work mainly for households, schools, churches and churchyards, village halls, smallholdings and small estates.
Friendly, honest, well priced and reliable
Friendly
We'll explain what we're doing and why, in plain English. Questions welcome — before, during and after the job.
Honest
If a tree is fine, we'll say so. If a cheaper option will do the job, we'll offer it.
Well priced
Low overheads and fair quotes, with a fixed price written down before we start.
Reliable
We turn up when we say we will, finish what we start, and leave the site tidy.
Properly trained, properly covered
