Price was in much lower than the highest bid and right in line with the lowest bid.
All of the crew knew their job. area was cleaned after the job was finished. will use again.
When the landscaper came to sod the area, his shovel touched tree stump a couple inches beneath the surface and he said nothing would grow unless the stump was ground down to between 8 and 10 inches below the level of the grass. I have since discussed the problem with other tree service companies and they all agreed that it is common knowledge that stump grinding has to go down 8 to 12 inches in order to grow grass in the area where a stump has been ground down. I have since paid another tree service to grind down the stump to the correct level.
I repeatedly called Mr. Piacenti, leaving numerous messages with his answering person and received no call from Mr. Piacenti. I finally called one evening and caught Mr. Piacenti himself at home and he said he would come out the following day at 4:00 p.m. He never showed up. I then called several more times and left messages to no avail. I am a senior citizen living on a fixed income and I paid Mr. Piacenti for a service that I did not receive. Mr. Piacenti took my $150.00 and I did not receive the service for which I paid.
When I arrived home Monday evening, the tree had been removed and my neighbor's tree had been pruned back to my fence line. There was no evidence (debris, wood chips, etc.) that any tree work had taken place - the company did an excellent job of cleaning the work site.
I called the company Monday evening to ask how they would receive their payment since I was not there when the work was performed. I was told the receptionist would stop by on her way home from work - within the hour. About a half hour later, Theresa rung my doorbell and I handed her a check. The entire process from receiving the estimate to providing payment was quick and painless. I would definitely recommend this company.
