Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

What to check before you hire

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
Check they carry public-liability insurance and ask to SEE the certificate. Tree work is high-risk and damage to your property, a neighbour's, or a person is expensive to put right.
Before any felling or heavy pruning, check whether the tree is protected (a preservation order, a conservation area, or active bird nesting), because YOU, the homeowner, can be fined for unauthorised work, not just the contractor.
Get the scope in writing (which trees, how much to take off, and who removes the waste and grinds the stump), and never pay in full before the work is finished.
