Testimonials

  • Steve and the team at Carstens helped us on short notice with a big job, transplanting trees at a local hospital. Steve was professional and extremely well skilled at operating the tree spade at such a high-profile site. We will use Carstens again and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for tree spading.
