It was planted when the house was built and was beginning to encroach over our house. They took down the tree, ground the large root structure, hauled away the materials, and left us ready to apply a yard of top soil and grass in the area. Shawn and his team are a rare mix of talent, integrity, hard work, pride, and trustworthiness. We've had them work several projects on our property over the past 3 years. Always have been impressed with the quality of work and reasonable in price. You aren't going to find a more dedicated team. Hats off!

I was very pleased either way the result. While he was here I asked for a bid on another smaller tree excellent bid! They took that tree down that day also .

I highly recommend AAA Tree Care with owner Jose and his crew.

Mangold horticulture is responsible for destroying my hosta garden. I started this garden in 2009…read moreand had purchased several expensive Hosta's and perennials to be placed in my garden. Last summer my hosta garden is just about completely gone. I reached out to Mangold to let them know that I had seen two employees spraying in my garden and another pulling up my perennials. They have taken no responsibility and refused to return my phone calls or emails. I also had a hosta garden in my backyard from 2009 and when they put rock down in my neighbors backyard they took all of my 14 year old hostas. They did not replace these, nor give me an explanation as to why they just took them. I am devastated at what my beautiful garden looks like now. Not to mention the amount of money I spent on these gardens on a limited income. It just depresses me every time I look out at my garden in which I spent years creating and money to see this devastation.

Nick's Tree Service was excellent to work with. Nick gave me a decent quote. We had to wait for the…read moreroad restrictions to come off as it was early spring but they were timely otherwise in cutting down the 3 trees for me. As planned, a couple of weeks later they grinded down all 3 stumps and the day after they were back to haul away most of the grinding material. They left enough so I didn't have huge holes. It should settle down even further and I shouldn't need as much dirt brought in as I thought I would. The entire crew were experienced and cleaned up pretty well after each visit considering the mess trees make. I would use them again or suggest anyone else to use them. Awesome job guys and thank you!

We hired Bill to tear out our old concrete patio and lawn and install pavers, new sod along with…read moreall new sidewalks. This was done very late in the fall of 2019. We did not have a chance to access the work, as it snowed shortly after he completed the job. Come spring 2020 we noticed that a large portion of the pavers have settled towards the house, which causes the water to run towards our home. The reason for the landscaping in the first place was because of this issue, which is now worse than it was before.   As for the sod, the yard was never graded and fill was not laid appropriately so the sod could grow. We are left with a very rough yard of dead sod. The only thing that was done properly was the sidewalks, which Bill subcontracted out. The sub contractor came to our residence twice asking for payment even though Bill was paid in full. The sub contractor still has not been paid. 01002339275-00 9 We paid over $18,000 for this landscaping and are left with and absolute disaster. We had several other landscaping companies come to assess and to have the work done properly which we already paid Bill to do will cost at least $7,000. Mind you when we told the other companies what we paid for the work Bill attempted to complete they were astonished and said we were severely overcharged. We have requested Bill pay for us to have the landscaping done properly. We are not asking for reimbursement of the entire amount, but just what we will have to pay to have it completed properly. Bill has refused so we have no other recourse than to file suit. In the process of doing so it appears this will not be the first time Bill has been sued. Appears he operated under a different business name and was sued by another individual, as he has several judgments. We would highly think twice before hiring Bill to do any work for you.

We have all remarked how much easier the seasons are now that my dad doesn't have to do the lawn or snow :)

They have no respect for neighboring properties…read more This fall my car was parked on the street next to a house Seasonal Chores was working on. When I came back out to my car, their trucks had moved and essentially blocked me in due to the proximity of the car in front of me. I wasn't in a rush to leave, so I tried to be respectful and let everyone complete their job as quickly as possible. That being said, by the time the workers left, my car was covered in dirt, leaf clippings, and debris. I was extremely disappointed to see how they would leave neighboring property. I immediately took my car to the wash but that was not enough. The debris seems to have been driven into every crevice and weather strip due to the leaf blowers and mowers. As a result, every time I washed my car, that debris got wet and runs down the side leaving a stain. Additionally, this happened any time the car was left outside in the sun and any snow or ice on it started to melt. I tried removing the material by hand multiple times with various tools. While it helped a little, it did not resolve the problem. It took 10+ washes for the problem to finally stop. I tried reaching out to Seasonal Chores via email multiple times with an explanation of what happened and these photos. It has been a month since I sent the emails, they never took the time to respond.
