I paid $3,000 for a day of work for trees to be cut down and debri raked up as well as clean up of a downed tree.
Five guys were in the crew. Three of them worked their butts off while the other two texted, smoked, and argued with one of the three hard workers.
I'm a single mom, so coming up with $3,000 cash for the job was not easy, so I hoped it would be worth the money. I specifically said I don't want to drag limbs or do any raking, and that's why I hired them. Otherwise, I could have had my 82 yr old dad cut down the trees while I raked debri and dragged limbs away.
Well, trees were all cut down as I wanted, and large tree that was downed was sawed up and and mostly cleaned up. Unfortunately, they ran out of time, so debri was not cleaned up and large limbs that were cut down out back were left for me to take care of. Bob gave me Tom's number to call for clean up quote. I called Tom, he came over, gave me a quote, and I accepted it. He said he'd be over Sunday. Sunday rolled around and no Tom. I called and left a message for an ETA, but no call, no show.
When Tom initially came over and gave me a quote, Bob had him take pictures of my hill that has my leach lines as one of the guys on Bob's crew drove a bobcat from my neighbor's driveway, and up my hill and across my leach lines, and ending with ruts in my yard. He said he'd let Bob know. I asked that the ruts in my neighbor's lawn and my lawn on the hill be soiled and seeded as I specifically walked all the guys around my property before the job and EXPRESSLY STATED DO NOT DRIVE ON MY HILL AS MY LEACH LINES ARE THERE.
It has been two months, and the ruts were never soiled and seeded. The limbs and debri are still lying around my property. I have a bad back and had to rake some debri, chainsaw some branches, and drag limbs. My 82 yr old dad was here with his 20" chainsaw and got nowhere as there is so much to take care of...and he's 82! I have not heard from Tom or Bob, and at this point, I don't want to. I'm on here searching for a different tree service to clean up and chop up what was left behind.
Bob and B&T Tree, and the two hard workers he brought with him did a great job, but because those two lazy workers were on his crew, B&T Tree did not successfully finish the job I paid them for. read more
