The person i talked to on the phone was distracted and said it would work out perfect for us because they had work in the area. He stops by on time and looks at tree. Mind you i asked just to drop the branches and leave all the brush ill take care of it. He came in with a quote of $650 and said about 2 hours of work. I called several others for quotes and they all came in at $300 or less. I had another service R&R take care of it and they had it done in 1 hour and charged $130. Not sure why they wanted $650 but seemed like a rip off. Avoid these guys if possible

Stay away from Kreft Tree Service…read more I signed a contract with Kreft Tree Service that was supposed to be a guarantee of completion in 45 days. It's now been 2 months, and here's how he conducted business: After signing his contract and taking my deposit, he never once reached out to me again. As the 45 days approached, I had to start calling and texting him. Each time, I finally got nothing but excuses or empty promises of new start dates that he never showed up for. At one point, he parked his truck in front of my house for two days, promising the job would be done by the weekend. Instead, he disappeared without a word and went to work another job, clearly choosing projects that were more convenient or profitable. After two months of waiting, broken promises, and no communication that wasn't initiated by me first, his final response was that he "might" start my job if another job fell through that day...the same day he told me he was starting on mine. That was it. I fired him and requested my deposit back. He had already breached his contract date. He has ignored every request and still hasn't returned it. At this point, it's clear he plans on keeping the money for a job he refused to do and for no other reason. To make things worse, he offers "discounts" in exchange for fake positive reviews, which should tell you everything about how he operates. Kreft Tree Service is dishonest, unprofessional, unreliable, and untrustworthy. He didn't just waste our time and delay other projects, he stole our deposit. Hire at your own risk.

I hired him based on a written quote of $50 an hour, and after the work was done, he suddenly tried…read moreto charge me $200 an hour. I have everything in writing. I also told him clearly, in writing, on video, and through my Ring camera, not to cut down my lilac bushes. These were mature, 20-year-old bushes that took seven years to bloom and were worth over $1,000. He cut every single one of them down anyway, along with my daylilies and other plants. Then, unbelievably, he tried to charge me for "brush removal" for cutting down the bushes I specifically asked him not to touch. I have video from two weeks ago showing me walking him through the yard, giving clear instructions on what I wanted done. I even explained that my neighbor's grape vines were killing my plants and asked him to remove the vines, NOT my plants. Instead, he destroyed plants I paid for and waited years to grow. He also brought someone to "help" him and then tried to make me pay both of them. I didn't hire his brother -- I hired him. That's his responsibility, not mine. He was at my house for five hours, including an extra hour after I told him to stop and leave, and he still tried to charge me for that. The damage he caused cost me far more than the work I hired him for. When confronted, he made excuses like "I'm new at this and don't know what I'm doing" and claimed that "anywhere else would have charged more." He also lied in a previous response saying my property was abandoned for four years, which is absolutely false. My taxes are paid through my mortgage -- it was never abandoned. After arguing with me for two days, calling me names, and harassing me, I had to involve the police to keep him off my property. He even dropped off two tiny lilac plants on my sidewalk without asking, thinking they could replace 20-year-old mature lilacs. They don't. I offered to pay him the original quoted price, but he refused and demanded more. Now I'll see him in court to recover the cost of the damage he caused. If you value your property, your landscaping, and your money, do not hire this person. He changes his prices, ignores instructions, destroys plants, lies to cover mistakes, and leaves you with damages worth far more than the work itself. Chase, you can change your comment to my review all you want--I've saved every version and won't post here but will use them in court. I'm a business owner who works out of my home, and I've kept the same customers for 27 years because I follow instructions and honor my quotes. When a client gives me a file, I do exactly what they ask or I don't get paid. I don't change prices after the fact, and if something goes wrong, I ask, "How can I make this right?" You did the opposite. You argued with me, called me names, and then dropped off plants that weren't even the same variety as the mature lilacs you cut down. Most plants have many varieties, and what you left didn't match. You didn't offer to replant, you didn't replace the number you removed, and you knew I'm disabled--leaving those mismatched plants on my sidewalk for me to struggle with was thoughtless and would have caused me significant pain to plant myself. Here's what making it right should have looked like: a real apology; honoring the original written quote with no surprise charges; reimbursing me for the mature lilacs and lilies you destroyed; sourcing the correct variety in comparable size and quantity; replanting them at your expense with a qualified crew; removing the neighbor's grape vines as originally requested; and putting all of this in a clear, written plan with dates. That is how professionals handle mistakes and keep customers. Instead, you ignored instructions, changed the price, refused to fix the damage properly, and tried to pass off two small, wrong plants as a solution. I offered to pay what you originally quoted. Now I'll see you in court--with the documentation to prove every word.

Starting with a blank canvas was overwhelming for us as we didn't have a vision for landscaping. Working with Jason took away that stress. We gave Jason a small list of wants to start and asked him to help us figure out the rest. He ran with it, turning our yard into way more than we ever could have expected. And he did it all for a very reasonable price. He took the time to talk through all our options, answer all of our questions, and explain everything that we didn't even know to think about. It's clear that Jason is passionate about the work that he does. It's not just a job for him and that shows in the quality of his work.
