We’re extremely proud to share some big news from the team here at DTG Trees & Grounds. As of today, we are officially ARB Approved Contractors – one of the most respected accreditations in the UK tree surgery industry. Based in Dawlish and working across Exeter and the wider Devon area, this achievement marks a major milestone for our business and a new level of assurance for our clients.

Becoming an ARB Approved Contractor is no easy task. It’s the only fully comprehensive accreditation scheme for professional tree surgeons in the UK, setting exceptionally high standards in health and safety, arboricultural knowledge, quality of work, and business management. The approval process has been both rigorous and rewarding, pushing us to evaluate and improve every area of our operation.

The ARB Approved status isn’t just a badge – it’s a reflection of our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality, and environmentally responsible tree surgery services across Devon. It sets us apart in a competitive industry and gives our clients confidence that they’re working with a team that meets the highest recognised standards.

To put it into perspective, fewer than two percent of the UK’s estimated 20,000 tree surgery companies hold this accreditation. We’re honoured to be part of that small group and even more motivated to continue raising the bar in the work we do every day.

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible effort of our team. Special thanks go to Joe Cox and Matt Shimell for their hard work during the assessment process, and to everyone behind the scenes who has contributed to building the business into what it is today. On behalf of Thomas Nicotra and Giuseppe Nicotra, thank you to all our clients, partners, and supporters who have helped us along the way.

Whether you’re looking for a trusted ARB Approved tree surgeon in Exeter, reliable tree work in Dawlish, or professional tree care anywhere in Devon, we’re here and ready to help – now with one of the UK’s highest industry standards behind us.
