Green Valley Landscaping - Ripped up Conduit

Regret Hiring It was…read morea mistake to hire Avery and his crew, and I knew better and I am mostly mad at myself for hoping otherwise. In short, there was poor communication and lack of transparency on pricing and for love of thy neighbor and on principle I am writing this review. Avery had confirmed a meeting with me the week before they would start work. Mine is a big project and I know good planning always leads to better results. Well Avery never showed up for the meeting but did show up to start work. I should have sent him home because having him start work was just asking for trouble. More on that later. My original estimate to grade and seed around my barn went from $14K to just under $36K, more expensive than my stone veneer foundation and more expensive than putting in a new asphalt driveway. To be fair there were some extra charges for extra work; $300 for moving a wood pile & trunks, $1200 for additional grading & seeding, $100 to move some mortar and sand, $900 to bury a tree stump and $600 to move some stones. But what really got me upset was $6000 to spread out 8 truck loads of soil that cost me $6K to buy! When Avery and I discussed beforehand what needed to be done he was sorry to say I would need 8 truckloads of soil. Which I was happy to purchase from NY Crushings as they were going to remove my hard fill from my old foundation. Avery mentioned he would have to charge me for spreading the soil which I said I expected but what Avery did not say he was going to charge me $6k for something that took a day with 4 - 6 guys, non of which spoke English, with one driving a Japanese Bobcat and the rest raking out the soil. In addition, I asked Avery to grade my trenches, much like how he was grading my french drain trench which he said he would do but never said he would charge me an additional $4K for something that took little over 2 hours! If Avery had showed up to the meeting I could have avoided them messing up my berms and reseeding my destroyed lawns. The obvious choice was to just make a pile of debris next to all my other piles. Avery was mostly missing in action and though most of his crew was very good but spoke no English, they ripped up an electric conduit headed to the barn because Avery didn't realize the south side of the barn had already been fully graded. I gave Avery the choice to lower his bill by $6 by only charging $2K to spread my soil rather than $6K, and charging $2K to grade and seed my trenches rather than $4K. To be clear, Green Valley only used a total (8) 40lb bags of Scott's Landscaping seed for my whole project that at full price only costs $800, just over 2% of the total bill. In sum, Avery is less of a salesman and more of a con artist waiting to take advantage of you. Do yourself a favor and don't be a victim and find someone else to work on your home.

Came out to visit my property mid-November 2021. Told me I'd have a quote by the end of the week…read more After hearing nothing for two weeks, I called and emailed but received no response or answer. Called the office again in December to be told they'd taken a bigger job, so weren't sending out quotes at the minute. We're now in January 2022 and I haven't heard anything, and I'm still without a fence. Shame Green Valley Landscaping don't want to take easy money for simple work. Update: The office manager emailed me today (02/24/22) having seen this review, suggesting there was a "miscommunication." She replied to an unanswered follow-up email I had sent (11/24/21) which supports the experience in my review. Very poor levels of customer service.

Exceptional job by the team at Dave's Tree Service, as always! Our property is infinitely more…read morebeautiful, bright, and most importantly - FAR MORE SAFE after this hardworking team of wonderful, talented professionals removed several dead trees, countless limbs, and large stumps. Just stellar from start to finish - and all of them are an absolute delight to work with and have around... friendly, honest, responsive, and kind. They lead with integrity, pay meticulous attention to every detail, and went above and beyond on every level.. including taking ample time to make sure that everything was cleaned up perfectly at the finish of the project. It was a massive job and had to be done in blazing heat.. but despite the summer weather, they all brought positive energy and enthusiasm to every moment of the job. We are incredibly grateful to Dave Hughes, his arborists, and his entire amazing crew for the transformation. Felt like a little kid on Christmas morning when it was all done - just overjoyed with the outcome! Highly, highly recommend Dave's Tree Service to anyone in need of this work! The best.

If I could give more than five stars, I would--because Dave's Tree Service didn't just remove my…read moretrees, they performed a full-blown front yard exorcism. I had sixteen very tall, very ugly locust trees standing in my front yard like a lineup of leafy trolls, blocking the light and branches falling on my house every time the wind blows. I called Dave, hoping for a consultation sometime in the next week. He showed up within half an hour. I hadn't even finished my coffee. A few mornings later, I woke up to what can only be described as an elite squad of tree ninjas pulling up with cranes, chippers, trucks, and the kind of quiet confidence that says "We've got this." Every single person on Dave's team was professional, respectful, and weirdly cheerful for people about to take down a small forest. Some went up in cranes like it was nothing, snipping off those hideous branches with precision. Others fed whole trees into the chipper like it was lunchtime. They ground down the stumps, hauled off truckloads of sawdust, and one young man stayed behind to sweep up the driveway and the street like it was opening night on Broadway. And here's the kicker: not a single flower or plant in my yard was touched. It was like the trees vanished in a puff of sawdust-scented magic. All in one day. Also: Dave himself? Charming. Honest. Knowledgeable. Probably part tree (but, like, in a hot dryad kind of way). You can tell he truly loves what he does, and it absolutely shows in the work. If you live in or near Rhinebeck and you've got tree troubles, don't hesitate. Don't Google. Just call Dave. Your trees will thank you. Your neighbors will thank you. Your insurance company will probably name their next child after you.
