We had a huge River Birch (18-20 yrs old) that def needed to come down. Waxhaw Tree Service did an…read moreexcellent job. Brandon Watson and his team removed that monster of a tree in less than 1.5 hrs - and that included grinding roots from the tree that had spread out in front of our house where I never thought roots from that tree could go. Additionally, we also had several stumps (from previous trees) removed. If you need any type of tree removal or other services they provide - this is def your company. Waxhaw Tree Service came, conquered, cleaned up, and left. We will most def use them again for tree removal and I strongly suggest you do the same if you need tree removal, etc

First I had a difficult time communicating with them. It took me multiple times reaching out to…read morethem to confirm what day they were coming. One of the days they were scheduled to come I had to text them the day before to check because it had rained and I didn't get a response back til 8am the morning of the appointment saying it had been rained out from the day prior. After we finally got a date, I didn't hear the day before what time I should expect the crew. I texted that morning asking and got told 30 minutes before they showed up. The crew was very polite any time we had to engage while they were on site. They made sure to ask me where exactly the sod was going. I asked if they could remove a small stump where the sod was going and if they couldn't I would remove it. They kindly said they could. Once going to pay my invoice I noticed they had a charge of $350 for debris removal but no debris were removed and I was never asked if I wanted them to take the debris which I would have said no. I ended up sharing the camera recording that showed nothing was removed! This ended up getting removed as they said there was confusion and that taking away the pallets from the soil & sod from the site was not considered debris. The sod looked great post laying down however two days later when we went to install the sprinkler system we were stunned to see what was underneath. I had been charged $400 for top soil, if you look at the pictures there is hardly any top soil under the sod. I was told they would prep the ground but yet you see rocks, sticks, etc so the ground was not moved though it's claimed to have been raked. The backyard is that tough clay like dirt so it needs to be roughed and prepped to ensure its growth. It's apparent it was not. When sharing the videos and photos with the company asking for resolution or partial refund. I got told that this was up to their standard, they did the proper prep and there was $400 worth of top soil there. I also got told they already gave me a discount by removing the debris charge!! Though there were not debris removed and were now saying the pallets did count as removal. No partial refund or even correction of the work they did. I unfortunately will not be using them again though I originally had considered using them for my front lawn later in the year.

Markham Visuals was referred to me through Yelp's project system. Jamie is super responsive and…read morevery good at what he does. You can tell he loves plants and landscaping design. He helped me pick items that would do well considering the soil and sun exposure, and everything looks great. His team was awesome to work with, too. They totally reworked several garden beds, trimmed trees and even relocated stepping stones from the side yard to be the new walkway between the house and garage. Their pricing was fair and I was on the schedule pretty quickly. I could not be happier with the results!

I think if the ground was dry I wouldn't have known they were here because they cleaned up so well. They did an amazing job but to top it all off, they drove 70 miles to grind stumps in my 92 year old mother's yard as a part of my project.

I didn't hear or see anything from him the entire week and on the following Friday I had decided that if he wasn't there on Saturday morning I was going to go with someone else. Unfortunately, they showed up on Friday around 4:00 in the afternoon and started working on the bamboo. Bamboo removal is a tough job, requiring a lot of cutting and hauling before you can even feed it into the chipper but it seemed like they were making quick progress. I have/had a pretty nice yard and the grass was coming in well with the spring rain but there is a large section in the back of the yard that is mostly dirt and weeds. I was very surprised that the bamboo that they did not have time to chip up that day was just left in the middle of the yard but figured they would get to it first thing the following day. Most of it sat there for over a week, the grass there is now brown but hopefully recoverable. What's worse is that my neighbor told me he was actually bringing in wood/trash from other jobs and chipping it on my property, while the stuff they cut down in my yard was just sitting there killing the grass. He also sent me a revised quote, almost 10% higher than what we agreed upon, claiming it was due to increased material costs. I know things are quickly getting more expensive right now and I was in a hurry to get this started as I was getting a dog, so I very unwisely let it slide. Brian also asked for almost 90% of the total amount upfront saying that he needed the money for materials to get started. I told him I would give him what he needed for materials, plus 10% of the estimated labor, and that I wanted an invoice for the materials. When I got home the next day, I saw the materials had been delivered but for whatever reason had been stacked in multiple places in grass that was virtually perfect. Again, there is no shortage of dead space, or driveway, where this could have been placed but as he had said the job would only take about a week I let it go. On Sunday, two days after they started, they cut through my internet line while digging the post holes. I was kind of surprised that there hadn't been any sort of check for this, but the line is an odd placement and I could see how that could happen. I am a contractor working from home, and basically lost two days of work. The gate was the last thing to go in and it was basically thrown together and I need to have it redone. It's completely off center, so when I drive in the right side is about two inches off my side view mirror. They also drilled the holes for the hinges straight through the fence board, with nothing behind it, so the screws are sticking straight through. On the hinge side, the screw is already coming out less than three days later. I contacted him about it and he said he'd be out the next day to fix it. This was a week ago and I haven't heard or seen from him since. When the gate was 'completed', he said they were done and I looked around the yard and still saw errant bamboo that hadn't been cut down, spaces underneath the fence in areas, plenty of leftover bamboo and branches that needed to be raked up, basically things I would think would have been included. There was no final walk through and he didn't even ask if I was happy with it. At this point I was so frustrated, I just wanted him and his equipment off of my property. I had to spend about four hours personally cleaning up after them. I got completely taken by this guy. Granted, I should have been paying closer attention. I should have demanded an itemized invoice for materials and paid attention to how many hours a day there were there, but I'm also working and never expected this job to be as slow and shoddy as it was. My neighbors were actually joking with me after the fact that there were days they saw the crew smoking cigarettes and on their phones more than they were working. During this entire process he had kind of an attitude when I would ask him for updates and during the very few hours he was actually here he was clearly rushing things. If it had taken ten days and was absolutely perfect, it would be a lot easier to overlook some of this stuff, but in addition to a disappointing final result I've spent hours of my own time across multiple weekends cleaning up after them and this was stuff that would have taken two guys with their equipment almost nothing. I know people that have had much larger fences put in and it never took more than four or five days, and that's considering a day to let the cement for the posts settle.
