My father called several companies following a storm that came through in GA, taking down several trees. As you can imagine, it can be quite upsetting when things like this occurs, to you don't expect a company to treat you the way this company has treated my elderly father. He is a very prideful person who served his country and worked hard his entire life so it is already hard that he is no longer in a position to take care of his property himself. He made the call to several companies and Meridian was johnny on the spot to call and book the service. They arrived within a couple of days, finished cutting the trees but said another division of their company would have to come back and grind the stumps and finish hauling everything away. THIS would be the last we heard from Meridian after they insisted that my father needed to pay for the entire agreed upon services and that the other group would return in a few days to complete the job. They stopped taking any calls from my father and never returned any of his calls trying to book the people to finish the job. I am completely incensed that a company who is nationwide has treated my father in such a deplorable way. If you are looking for a good, trustworthy company DO NOT USE MERIDIAN. When I tried to call them on my father's behalf, once they knew why i was calling, they hung up on me and did not bother to acknowledge that they had to rudely hung up on me or how disgustingly they had treated my father until I called and left a message that I knew where their office was located and that I would come in personally to discuss this with someone so there would be no more inconvenient call drops and that I would also be filing with the BBB. They did call back but that is the last time I have heard from them. I still plan to make an in person visit to discuss with someone what they are planning to do regarding the matter at hand. I am so completely disgusted at how they have treated an elderly person who put their trust in a company and lives by the golden rule that your word is your bond. I pray that they are never put in a position like this when someone is at their most vulnerable. I still have to believe that there are still good, honest people and companies out there that will treat people fairly but MERIDIAN IS NOT ONE OF THEM. read more

I needed a large, old, dead oak tree leaning towards my house cut down and removed. After Jonathan quoted a price I decided to add several smaller nuisance trees as well. Meridian worked very fast and completed the job while removing all debris from my yard. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Agreed to cut three trees and grind the stumps. They took my money and never returned after cutting the trees. Very disrespectful toward women. read more

I hired Meridian Tree Service to clear a small part of my lot from brush and debris, after I saw them taking down some branches in a neighbors yard. The night before they were supposed to come I texted the number I was given to ask for an estimated arrival time. The following day I called the number since I had not heard back from them. They cancelled and said they could come out the following week and said they would let me know what day. I waited to hear back from them. As the following week rolled around I began texting and calling them again. They cancelled a second time saying their equipment was broken, but that they would come out to do the job before that Thursday. I explained that I had to work Wednesday so they needed to come before then. Between Sunday and Tuesday I texted and left several messages again asking when they were coming. When I finally heard back from them, the lady I had spoken with before said I was being rude for leaving messages saying it was unprofessional of them not to show up or give me an exact day and time. I don't think that was rude to point out. You shouldn't have to repeatedly call a company once they have accepted a job. When I asked to speak to whomever was in charge, she hung up on me. Needless to say, I DON'T recommend using Meridian Tree Service. They aren't reliable, professional, or polite. This was supposed to be a rather small job. If they couldn't complete a small job, I sure wouldn't trust them to something more serious like tree removal. read more
