Capable workers - however incomplete work with no follow-up
Darryl the owner is very knowledgeable and had good explanations and suggestions for improving the trees in my yard. For that reason I hired him without questioning his quote which seemed reasonable.
I was very pleased with the initial work which consisted in removing a dead ash tree, a pear tree trunk, a dead evergreen bush and another dying one, as well as removing dead branches from a sugar maple and another tree. They cleaned up the yard very nicely.
The complaint I have is that upon their return a couple weeks later to plant a red maple, they they also cut down two very large branches with gnarly vines from a tree near where the maple was to be planted, and left them in my yard (on the grass), with no follow-up explanation!
This is not good customer service.
I am ill-equipped to cut and get rid of those massive branches, and certainly I did not hire an arborist co. to have them leave me a pile of work to complete by myself [need to fix my chainsaw].
Would this have happened if I had not paid them before seeing the finished work? A follow-up call would have been nice.
For the above lack of customer care I would not recommend this co. But should you choose to hire them, I would recommend you don't pay until the work is completed to your satisfaction.

Good evening,
Thank you for the constructive review. As we have never left branches behind and have been told many times that our meticulous clean-up is what sets us apart from other companies, I take full responsibility for the oversight.
Since we were in complete communication through multiple forms before the job (email, cell, and home phone), I am surprised I was not reached with your concerns before this review.
It's a shame that a verbal compliment, made over the phone, after phase 1 of your job was marred in the end through a breakdown in post job communication.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns you have in the future. As we are always open for your business, so are our lines of communication.Genuinely,
Darryl Stevenson
