I know that Grays Tree explained to me that they had several issues with their trucks over the course of the week however they continued to schedule us for removal each of those days, failed to show up or call us to explain. I don't believe that I will use their services again, although I have found as my second experience with tree cutters, they all seem to operate in a similar manner.

My neighbor and myself told Jon that yes, we wanted the debris moved as all of it was piled high on my lawn (including my neighbor's tree). Both of us were told independently by Jon it would be removed - I was told it would be the next day and I was fine with that. They never came back which left the public works to remove all of it on Monday. Public works only removed the biggest pieces which resulted in a tremendous mess on my lawn that I was unable to get to cleaning up until the following weekend due to my work obligations and rain. I had taken off the day of the removal and the day after precisely so I could deal with any clean-up, and I had scheduled this job back in August. I got a nice little notice from the homeowner's association that I was in "code violation" with the debris left on my lawn. While they are nothing but bully busybodies who freak out over small things and have zero common sense in matters like this, it still should not have happened. My neighbor was super apologetic and even helped clean up the mess when he got back in town because he was so embarrassed."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/al/alabaster/jon%27s-tree-service-reviews-7318095.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Champion Tree Service","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"AL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lloyd W."},"reviewBody":"Champion tree Service was prompt and on time for both the estimate visit and the tree removal visit.

FAQs for animal removal projects in Indian Springs, AL
DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself.
Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away.
Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems.
Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.
Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.
Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400.
This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
