I spoke with Dylan Kerl at Bartlett, and he came out and wrote me an estimate for almost $1200. I thought this was high, but given the favorable reviews Bartlett has, I decided that it would be worth it because I assumed they would do an expert job. Well...they came out and "completed" the work, and I swear, I couldn't tell any difference in my trees. I emailed Dylan and asked him to come take a look because surely he didn't think they had done $1200 worth of work!! He came out and told me that if I looked closely, I could see they had made many pruning cuts. And, while it's true I can see some cuts if I look closely, I cannot imagine that they spent any more than an hour cutting a few branches. Literally, there was no overall visible difference in my trees. For TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS! Dylan will likely respond to this review saying I had told him that I didn't want my trees to be overly trimmed and formally shaped, which is completely true. But that does not address how very little trimming was done overall! And, he claims he tried to reach out to me to resolve this issue, but I never received an email, had no missed calls, no letters in my mailbox. Just overall a terrible, disappointing and very expensive experience. And I wish someone had warned me the way I'm trying to warn future customers.

So, I decided to give her a break and research a tree service solo. I contacted other services who didn't call me back, but when I put in my information onto their website, I got a punctual call. The Grubb rep was professional and helpful accommodating my hectic schedule. The field reps visited my property and provided a reasonable estimate, and again worked with me for my hectic schedule to drop my trees. Billy and Luke rang my door, stepped back, and met me with professionalism and courtesy. They explained the process and all potentials, allowing me to ask questions, get advice, and make the decisions. Billy and Luke then put on their safety gear and went to work. They efficiently dropped my diseased trees threatening my home. I appreciate the cost and professionalism of everyone from Grubb's!!

Poor experience. Bad communication. Will not be using again…read more We hired Grubb Tree to install a french drain and dig out our front ditch. They cut our water line. Instead of calling a plumber, they incorrectly patched it and our pipes were clogged with mud, leaving us with no water. When we asked the onsite manager, "What is your process for handling a situation like this?" the response was "Well you signed an agreement saying we aren't liable for these types of things. People don't usually read the whole thing and miss that part. As long as it [cost to fix] isn't too much, we will do right by you guys." We felt like this response wasn't helpful as it turned the relationship from collaborative to adversarial. We solved the problem on our own by calling 3 different plumbers to assess the issue and 1 providing a fix. We then tried to coordinate with Grubb Tree to cover the cost of the fix. At this point, we determined that it would be best to coordinate with Luke Grubb who originally estimated and contracted this work in order to ensure that the repairs were reflected in the contract.  This is where the communication broke down. Instead of putting us in touch with Luke, our calls were seemingly screened and forwarded to the onsite manager, who never forwarded our calls. The receptionist said she would "have Luke get back to us", but he never did. After repeated attempts, we were provided paperwork via email that reflected the cost reduction for the plumbing fix and they were scheduled to return and finish the work. This is where we wish the story had ended. Grubb Tree returned to finish the french drain, which they did without headache. When it came time to dig out the front ditch the onsite manager was refusing to perform the work outlined in the estimate, claiming an incorrect interpretation of the imagery and work statement. After back and forth, the matter had to be escalated to Luke. He admitted a "miscommunication" on their part and instructed the team to proceed according to the contract.  The quality of work on the ditch was insultingly poor. It was clear from the haphazard discarding of topsoil and snakelike pattern of the cut out "ditch" that the onsite team was rushing this part of the job and adhering to an almost malicious compliance and interpretation of the statement of work. We understand that mistakes and miscommunications happen. However, we expect to be treated with respect as the paying customer. To us, this would mean our contractor ensures that our voices are heard without condescension. It also means that our contractor performs work of a reasonable quality and assumes a certain level of care. Unfortunately, in this case, we feel like Grubb Tree didn't meet these expectations and it resulted in a poor overall experience. Therefore, we will not be doing business with them again.
