I'm only leaving a review on this service because I want others to know what horrible service i received from this company. They don't even deserve a single star, much less a negative one. During Hurricane Gustav, our neighbor's 100 ft. oak tree snapped and fell into our yard. Another tree that was IN our yard snapped and fell also. To remedy the situation, my neighbor called Arinder's Tree Service (who had just trimmed this same tree the summer before). She was going out of town and had trouble getting in touch with Mr. Arinder at that time. Granted it was just a week after the hurricane she was trying to contact him during a time he was probably overloaded with work. That's still no excuse not to answer your phone. She finally got him to come look at our situation. He said he would have to take down our chainlink fence and drive his basket trucks and debris mac trucks into our backyard to get the tree debris out. She said she'd pay for all this. I asked him if there was a way he could do it without having to take our fence down and he said yes but was confrontational with me. He said he could take out the other tree that had snapped too (the one we owned). He specified he would cut the two trees down, cut some sapling trees down that were growing in our yard, and clean out the other trees near the ones he was taking down. He said he did not do stump removal (which his ad states he does in the yellowpages). I'd already gotten several estimates and he was the cheapest one so I hired him to do the job. His estimate was that I would pay him for our tree, and our neighbor would pay him a hefty $3000.00+ for the tree that was in her yard that fell into ours. It was a solid month later before he actually came out. I never could get in touch with him on the phone. He never would return my phone messages. I'd left him more than 10 messages that he did NOT return. By a mere chance, I caught him in the early morning about to leave for a job, and he gave me a tenative time to come do the job. To make a long long story short as possible, his crew came out and took down our chainlink fence the day of the job. To take it down, they dug a HUGE hole around the fence post and cut our telephone line in half which I later had to have AT&T come out to repair. Then they bulldozed their way into my backyard snapping other limbs on some ornamental trees off because they weren't being careful!! ....bulls in a china closet!!!! The did do a good job about getting the tree cut down, but then they didn't bother to cut down all of the saplings he'd promised in his estimate, nor did he clean off our boatport awning which he'd also promised, nor did he clean out the other trees near the one he took down. I even mentioned it to him again when we were standing out in the yard watching the guys picking up the debris from the tree they just took down. He just looked at me, looked up into the tree and started yelling orders at the crane operator guy about something totally unrelated to what I'd just mentioned to him. After they were done rutting up my lawn (another thing he PROMISED up and down he would NOT do but did anyway), his crew attempted to put my fence back up. They didn't even pour concrete on the post so it was wobbley afterwards. During his estimate he promised me up and down again that they would put it back "as good as new and just like we find it" when they put the fence back up. We had concrete on the post before they took it down, afterwards, they just stuck it back into the hole and filled it in with dirt. After a couple of days, it had rained some so the dirt was mushy and the post started leaning because they didn't use concrete the DRY day that they put it back in the ground. Idiots! Doesn't take a rocket scientist!....gah! So my 81 y.o. father had to get out in the FREEZING cold night air to try and fix the gate they attempted to put back on but bent the latches to do so. I'd called him to come fix it but yet again.....no return call. I left a very stern message on his answering machine but still no return call. In a nutshell, this company is not worth the hassle and they do not do all they promise to do for the estimate given. Find a better tree service. This company should be shut down or reprimanded for their terrible service. Their ad even lies!...they don't do stump removal. Another point, Mr. Ed Arinder is NOT on the job site. You should always see the owner of the service on the job site to supervise. How could his crew do the things I asked Mr. Arinder to do if he isn't on the job site to tell them??? I checked with the crew and they had no idea of the things I had mentioned to him. BAD BAD BAD service!!!! Too many negative details for me to type. I've already typed a book! read more

I am a real estate agent with Paragon Properties of Louisiana. A client I listed a house for a few months ago had a tree removed, and Arinder's Tree Service came highly recommended. A few days ago, an elderly couple that I recently sold a house to in Broadmoor Subdivision called me about a tree falling in their yard. They asked me if I knew any reasonably priced tree removal companies. I remembered the recommendation and found the number for Arinder's Tree Service on google. I passed the number along to my elderly clients. After I gave them the number, I read the review below and had some worries. I followed up with them today and they said they were "satisfied" with the service. I asked them if they were polite and if the yard was left tidy, etc. They said Mr. Ed was very nice and they "came out quick." When I asked about how the yard was left, they replied "it looks better than it did before." I felt compelled to share this positive experience after reading the review below. You never hear from the HUNDREDS of super satisfied clients on these review things. People only want to leave a review when they have a bad experience. read more

Mr. Arinder did a great job on my live oak trees for a reasonable price. It took a little while for him to come out to do the job, but it was well worth the short wait. read more
