They do what I ask them to do, they listen, good communication, and good people. They did a good job, they clean up, and reliable.

It was fine. For some reasons they couldn't make it on the scheduled appointment, but they called me to let me know, and rescheduled it to do the job. Jon Pace was very nice, looked at the job, and gave me estimate.

Did not have it done yet. Won't be hiring this company. Too expensive.

Never should have made an appointment for services because I was warned by previous reviews which mentioned the work crew not showing up for service appointments recently. Unfortunately, I did not heed those reviews and fell victim to the same issue of their work crew not showing up. This company is aware of these issues and continue to make appointments for services when they know their work crews are unreliable. When I called the office and told them their crew had not shown up, she tried to get hold of them and was also unable to reach them. I don't like to give negative reviews and usually just don't leave one, but this company knows their work crews are unreliable and still continue to make appointments for them.

First appointment canceled because of rain, 2nd appointment didn’t show up or call so I called and Diane didn’t know why they didn’t show. Rescheduled and they showed up 40 minutes late. They were supposed to be there between 8 and 9 so after 9 I called and left a message and then one of the workers called and said he was putting gas in his truck and would be there in 20 min. They finally got here and as they cut branches and limbs they let them fall on the fence and the plants and bushes. I also found all the small branches and debris they raked up along with their soda bottle was put in my old trash can that is full of holes and left behind the olelander bush by my back gate instead of taking it with them. Sloppy. I was given a discount because I was unhappy with the work they did the last time I hired them. This was a 2nd chance because I had used them years ago and at that time they were good but not anymore.

John showed up as scheduled and provided a detailed estimate. That was the high point of the experience with this company. The job was scheduled and rescheduled three times and each time the crew failed to show up. After the third no show I pulled the plug on having them perform the service. See the D rating left on 6/23/08. Same problem which shows a disregard for customer service.

The team did not know what they were doing. Between each of the 3 guys, all of them kept telling us different things about how to trim - arguing about what is a seed pod, which leaves should stay or go, how much of the trunk to strip. It was confusing, frustrating, and we had no confidence they were doing the work correctly. Also, instead of using orchard ladders, they climbed up the trees with spikes. This is fine for other palm trees - but we found out afterwards that is very damaging for Queen Palms. Our trees are a mess of holes and shredded trunks. Since they are the key landscape greenery around the pool area, it's obviously ugly and an eyesore now. The owner accepted responsibility for the lousy service and did not charge us. He mentioned that he tries to tell his teams not to cut palms, but he himself was the one who came over initially and gave us the estimate in person - never saying a word about how he prefers not to work on palm trees. We would not use them again. And highly recommend that if you have palm trees, to go with another tree service company.

Great job! The people sent who do the work are really what the reviews are usually about. 3 young men ready to work were sent. Anthony (the crew leader), Josh, & a serious young man named Jake Dion Ashley who hopes to be an arborist. Jake did most of the work on my 51 year old evergreens, & they look so much better than I'd thought they ever could. (Previously, 2 other tree companies did really destructive things to my ancient evergreens. They took a couple of years to recover.) They managed to get them down to a size that should safely take the bushes through heavy winter rain & wind. And they made enough room for me to be able to paint the fence behind the largest. Their clean up was terrific. They were careful of my fences & other property. They were a cute team, & they enjoy their work, (esp. Jake!). For once a pleasant experience!

Nice people to work with and workers were courteous and responsive. Poor cleanup. Left a lot of debris on my roof and patio cover. Also left 3 large branches on top of some bushes.

These Guys are great! John gave us a fair estimate and then the crew came out a few days later. The crew, Scott (the saw man), Randy and three others were friendly, courteous and professional. They went well beyond my expectations on everything including the cleanup afterwards. I highly recommend them.

It went well. There was a slight scheduling issue. Their vehicle broke down and we rescheduled for a few days later.

I had used Don's before and had been very happy with price and service. This time I wanted to know if trees could be saved and how much it would cost to remove them. Their price was astronomical and not in line with their previous work. Didn't seem like they really wanted to do it. Was very disappointed.

Very good.....good communication, prompt, got the job done in a short amount of time. Foreman and crew polite, aware of safety issues. A big job, would have liked a better cleanup (some debris left) but overall one of the best tree services I've had and I will hire again. Their estimate was almost half of another local tree service.

The arborist arrived at the appointed time and couldn't tell me if the trees needed removed or not. She gave me quotes to remove them that were extremely high as well as absurd quotes to do some minor trimming on another couple of trees. I had used Don's several times before but had not dealt with this particular person. I had always been satisfied with their work and price. I told her her prices seemed very high to me and I probably would have to get additional quotes. She said she would talk to her boss and get back to me. Never heard from them. It seemed to me they didn't want the business.
Response from Don & Son Tree Service/ Don's Tree Service.

"Good afternoon Mr [Member Name Removed], I can have Jon Pace come out to give you a new estimate on the same trees Lauren looked at if you'd like. At that time you can ask Jon about the tree in question for removal or way to save it. Please reply back if you would like me to schedule you an appointment with Jon. We are looking forward to hearing from you."
