Trees Unlimited

I am a 20 year Navy veteran and I have been treated with more respect by our nation's enemies. I hired Dave Coley to trim back an oak over my driveway and remove some dead limbs that were hanging too high for me to get. He also offered to haul away a debris pile (not storm related) for free. He quoted me $400, an unbelievably low price compared to other quotes I received (this should have been my first red flag). He told me he would do the work on Friday, Nov 22, but instead showed up Thursday, Nov 21, when I wasn't home (looking back, this was probably on purpose). When I got home, I saw some of the work had been done, but the oak limbs still covered the driveway and the debris pile was still there. I texted Dave to ask if he was coming back to finish the job. He said his guys got hurt from thorns on the palm fronds in the pile and I should have warned him. He even said he was going to bring me the bill from urgent care from his guys getting thorns removed from their hands. What?? The only reason I asked him to clear the pile was it would save me the hassle of renting or borrowing a trailer and I expect a tree service to be smart enough to wear gloves! Especially when they can see what kind of palm fronds are in the pile! I told him not to worry about the pile since it was an add-on anyway, and I said I'd pay him $400 if he finished trimming the oak like we agreed. He said he trimmed what he could and already told me the city arborist wouldn't let him trim any more. That wasn’t true, in fact he told me specifically the city arborist wouldn't care about what I was asking him to trim (AND I had already received two written quotes from licensed arborists who didn't bat an eyelash at trimming the oak... there's no way these reputable businesses would risk violating city code). Now, Dave threatens me with a lawsuit if I don't pay him the $400... for work he didn't do!! RIDICULOUS!!! No one should hire this swindler!

We have used Trees Unlimited owned and operated by Dave Coley for 22 years now and have been highly satisfied with their professionalism and thoroughness in caring for our trees. We have had them remove two live oaks that were not doing well and also three palm trees we no longer wanted. They removed the trees and ground the stumps down about 6 or 8 inches below the surface so we could put sod in to replace where the trees had been. We highly recommend Dave and his crew and know you will be as satisfied as we have been with their work.

Fantastic! Well definitely hire them again
