My busted fence
Karen L.

these guys cut my neighbors tree standing on my wood fence which they broke. they stood me up 3 times to fix it. i'm planning on reporting them for trespassing.

Please read entire review before making a decision on selecting this tree company, or any tree company for that matter. Positive Aspects: -The crew were professional, polite, and worked efficiently. Their work appeared well-executed even before the owner made their appearance. Communication Issues from Day One: -During our quote agreement the day prior, the supervisor advised they would arrive around 9:00-9:30 AM the next day and agreed to call when heading my way. They didn't arrive until 12:15-12:30 PM with no advance notification or courtesy call to tell me they were running late. This should have been my first red flag about their communication practices. Core Issues: -My problems stem from incomplete work that didn't match the written quote. I hired them to service six trees, with the issue stemming from an oak tree with two widow makers. When discussing the work on this tree the day prior, the scope was described verbally as removing the widow makers, cleaning up the under canopy and interior so that if a storm comes through the wind will blow less restrictively through the tree so I don't have a widow maker situation again. The quote was written "Oak in back yard lift & lite interior cleanout." What was completed: -Two widow makers removed (satisfactory) -Minimal "lift" work: one lower canopy branch removed (cutting one 1.5"-2" diameter branch, leaving 6 feet remaining on tree) What was missing: -No interior cleanout beyond the widow makers -No trimming of downward-growing branches outside pole saw reach (lower limbs on this tree are already high) -When I asked about the interior work, the supervisor stated it wasn't included in the agreed price. -***I would like to note that the company approached me for the work, going door to door in my neighborhood. I did not negotiate a lower price when those discussions took place. The price was presented to me following a walkthrough of the property and verbal description of the scope of work. A quote was written, it summarily touched on the items we discussed, and I accepted as it was offered. The Problem Escalated: -Here's where I made my mistake: I paid upon request during cleanup, before verifying 100 % completion. When I later questioned the work scope against the quote, the supervisor said he'd "be right there" but drove away instead. I called him and he promised to call back in five minutes at 2:15 PM - there was no returned call. Lessons Learned: -Demand detailed, written quotes that explicitly define all terms and deliverables. Don't accept shorthand or verbal explanations. Never pay until work is 100% complete. Walk the property with the supervisor and address any concerns before payment. Final Assessment: -While the crew performed quality work on what they did complete, the business practices are concerning. When I simply asked for clarification about the quote, both the supervisor and owner left the property and ignored my follow-up. This isn't about demanding extra work--it's about getting an explanation for what was promised versus delivered. -I'm a reasonable customer who doesn't enjoy confrontation, but being dismissed and ignored when raising legitimate concerns is unacceptable. Learn from my experience: protect yourself with detailed contracts and withhold payment until you're completely satisfied. I have provided photos of the tree for reference.

I had Sun State Trees come and trim some trees, I was guaranteed if they damaged anything they…read morewould repair. Well, a tree limb fell on my pool screen enclosure and tore 2 panels. They guaranteed they would repair and this was stated before I contracted with them. Well 5 calls later and no response to my request. They say they will get back to me but never Have I heard from them. I will give them a ZERO for customer care and standing behind what they say. I do not recommend Sun State Trees to anyone. Michael

Unprofessional, sarcastic, and poor business practices!…read more Paid for the sod, set up the day to come pick it up the sod only to discover they had no idea who I was. Finally after digging for a bit they found me with a response of "yeah we don't have the sod, too much rain for it to be cut." What??? We are in a drought? Next, I asked is there a reason no one bothered to call me to let me know the sod was not coming so I didn't drive down to pick it up? I got a confused look and a response of "I was off yesterday in a sarcastic tone." I simply lifted that I took the day off work so I could pick up the sod and throw it the same day and that they had some poor business practices to hammer out. To her credit, the sarcastic woman did offer to have it delivered for free due to the trouble. That move got my attention and I figured, let me give them another chance! Accidents happen, if you can't get the sod I get it and maybe this is a learning curve for them to call a customer? I set up another appointment to get my sod and to have it delivered for about a week later. Since I took another day off of work, I decided to call the day prior to confirm we were set for the next day. I called and got an elderly sounding woman on the other end of the phone. I advised of my name and other necessary information to check on my order. The female confirmed the order was good to go and I confirmed where I wanted the sod placed. She confirmed everything to include the sod's placement was good to go and it would be delivered the next day (TODAY). Fast forward to today at 2:45pm...no sod has been delivered. Thinking maybe they were delayed some, I called the office where I got the same sarcastic female who I dealt with previously answered the phone. Once again, she has no idea who I am with a response of, "I have no sod here." Now I am beginning to believe I am being punked and recount my previous days conversation where I literally called and spoke with an employee who confirmed my order and where I wanted my sod dropped. Yet again, I got the same explanation of rain and they can't cut the grass!?! Silly me for asking a simple question of, "Is there a reason that no one called me?" "Well I was off was the sarcastic response yet again!! Seriously??? Run don't walk from the this business!! I have no idea how they are able to stay in business with such employees (sarcastic and unprofessional) as what I dealt with! Now the question...Will I get my refund or will the rain within a state that is in the midst of a drought delay that too??

Quality Value…read moreAttentive Knowledgeable Quick Responding Hard Working I definitely recommend this Company! Help them come up in the world, while they help you get a good job done!!

I am Joe Shishan, sales manager for M&S Tree service and I would like to mention that Diane…read moreGrover's portrayal of events is outright false and spitefully misrepresented in her review here on yelp. While there were indeed disagreements and misunderstandings throughout the project(which could have been handled more cordially by Sam; and we have spoken to him about that) the simple fact of the matter is that our crew was not responsible for the damage that she is claiming to be our fault. The damage that she is referring to was already present prior to the work performed and she only started making false claims about what happened after becoming infuriated that we did not obey her every demand regarding work that we performed on HER NEIGHBORS PROPERTY whom she has an ongoing feud with and had zero authority or decision making power in the matter. So ever since that event she has been harassing our company; leaving several bad reviews on every platform available and even changed her story many times along the way. It almost seems like she was looking for some type of excuse to create a problem with us from the beginning . I have already reprimanded the crew for falling into her argument trap (as we are not interested in perpetuating neighborly fueds and having long drawn out arguments over small details that turn into all out war and social assassination attempts). Although I still can't fathom for the life of me why someone would go so far out of their way just to hurt a small business who only had a minor disagreement and brief exchange of unpleasantries..WE DID NOT DAMAGE HER PROPERTY! So I'm really not sure what her insurance policy is like but I do know that many policies cover accidents but do not cover damage resulting from negligence (which I believe her claim falls under and would mean that her false claim would be financially rewarding to her). Some people are willing to go to any lengths to get a leg up in the world or to get revenge on those who do not bow to them. And for that, I am sorry that none of my crew bowed down to you on that day and I am sorry that your insurance policy didn't cover your claim due to it being classified of negligent inaction. Maybe she saw an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone in this situation, I don't know. But Diane, if you read this, please stop harassing our company and allow us to continue helping our community, supporting our famillies, and adding value to the society that we live in. We have zero interest in continuing this long and drawn out one-sided battle any longer. Please Diane, it would be much appreciated if you could stop this. Thanks, Joe Shishan 407-868-3194

CT Stump Grinders - The bamboo that had to be removed as it threatened the house and the fountain

CT Stump Grinders

(8 reviews)

We hired CT Stump Grinders to remove two stumps, and I'm so glad I did. They definitely got the job…read moredone, but what really impressed me was how they handled everything. We ran into a bit of a challenge during the process, but the owner (Chris) was fantastic. They got it resolved that same day and kept us updated with great communication throughout. It's rare to find a team that handles challenges with such kindness. Chris honestly treated us like friends rather than just another customer, which took a lot of the stress out of the situation. If you need cleanup work done, I'd highly recommend them. They do quality work and are just genuinely great people to deal with.

I have used them several times. I initially had them remove an enormous patch of bamboo. Wow it was…read morea massive job. The team worked incredibly hard to get it all. It was against a concrete wall which made the grinding very difficult. They had to return multiple times. But they never complained and kept coming back as promised, and at no additional charge. I also had them remove a very large crepe Myrtle that was worse than bamboo at coming back to life. Since then I gave them another bamboo on the opposite side of my garden. Then some very tall birds of paradise. Everything needed more than one treatment, as they were so established. Chris was always so understanding, friendly, and honest. I'm very happy to support and recommend a company that stands behind its work. If you have any tree or root concerns, keep in mind that they will most likely need to be monitored and ground up maybe more than once. They never tried to shake me down for more $. Thomas H.
