JH Tree Services Hampshire Ltd are proud to be an Arb Approved Contractor.

The ARB Approved Contractor scheme is the UK’s premier accreditation for professional tree surgery businesses, established by the Arboricultural Association over 40 years ago. This program ensures that contractors not only possess a deep understanding of arboricultural practices but also comply with legal and health and safety standards.

To achieve and maintain ARB Approved status, contractors must demonstrate their commitment to high service levels and effective business management, while adhering to the AA's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.

Since 2012, the scheme has also held ISO 9001 (UKAS) accreditation, reflecting its robust quality management systems, and is a registered member of the Safety Scheme in Procurement forum (SSiP). This enhances the credibility and recognition of its members, promoting excellence in arboricultural contracting across the UK.
