Response from Lasbury Tree and Shrub, LLC
This is totally untrue, We gave her a verbal estimate and emailed the estimate the next day. She called to say she didn't get it and I talked to her myself. I immediately sent it to her again. The mail showed delivered and was not returned. Maybe she should check her spam file or give us a call before bad mouthing us on the internet for an error on her part.

Description of Work: I've used this company twice in the past and was pleased. This time, however, I called for a tree evaluation and possible feeding. I made multiple calls over a three week period. I spoke with several people, including the owner. No one ever evaluated the tree. Someone dropped off a business card while I was at work. There was no follow up from the company. I did not follow up because I was too frustrated after chasing them for so long. I'll be looking on Angie's List for another tree service.

Response from Lasbury Tree and Shrub, LLC
It took me a minute to look this up since it was last October, but here is what happened. The member called and left a message on Sept 29, 2014. The message said that a project they were doing was going to cut some tree roots, so they wanted to know if it was going to hurt the tree. We returned the call the same day, but missed her and left a message asking if it would be okay to stop out and take a look. On Oct 3, 2014 she called again and left a message that it would be fine for us to stop out to look at the tree on our own. We looked at the trees and left a card in the door. She called back on 10/6/14 and left here email address for us to send the findings, but we couldn't get that email to work, so I called and her a message on her machine. I don't have my notes from the inspection, but I think I gave them the all clear to cut the roots and it shouldn't hurt the tree. No work was requested other than the free consultation, which we provided. My phone logs clearly show that we exchanged a number of messages and that her issue was resolved. Also on this property, we only worked there once back in June, 2011. As is our policy, we follow the trees after the work and made other recommendations for their care over the next two years. Those recommendations were not followed and were ignored. We've been inspecting the trees at no charge for the past four years. We provided this consultation at no charge. I'm a little miffed that she would then write this review. It is untrue.

It took a little effort to coordinate the work since it was summer vacation time and there had been some severe storms in the region. All the tree service companies were fully booked. Our trees are a very important aspect of our property. The condition of the shade trees around our house, in particular, matters a lot to us. The Lasbury team clearly approached every tree with careful consideration. They thoroughly pruned out all dead and interfering branches, while enhancing the profile and integrity of each specimen. The bucket truck was used sparingly, and we appreciated the care taken to avoid lawn damage. Most of the work was done by climbers. The team members cooperated to make sure that larger limbs were lowered carefully. The clean-up effort was equally thorough and impressive. At all times, the workmen were polite, attentive to our questions and remarks, and pleasant to have around. Most importantly, we're very pleased with the results - our trees look great!
Description of Work: Some of our trees had suffered wind damage and we decided to bite the bullet and get them all done. Lasbury pruned five, very large, old Norway maple trees, one very large cottonwood, two black walnut trees, two medium dogwoods, a white pine. Last and least, an old mulberry. In addition, they removed two medium Austrian pine trees and some poorly situated young maples. All prunings were chipped and removed. Several of the maple limbs overhung the house, complicating the project.

They did an excellent job. This is the company that our community uses quite a lot. They know how we want our neighborhood to look. Their clean up was good and they make sure that they take all the debris away with them.

I called to get an estimate on 8/13 and company checked the areas on 8/14. The arborist was pleasant and not pushy and seemed knowledgeable. Written estimate arrived on 8/16. I was told that work would be done in about two weeks. I received a call on 9/4 that they could do the work on 9/5. They arrived on time and completed the work.
Description of Work: Removal of large yew near front door and grinding of the tree stump. Trimmed holly tree and removed many invasive vines. Trimmed various bushes and ground covers (azaleas, euonymus, cotoneaster,etc) Removed two barberry bushes and cherry and crabapple sprouts. Clean-up and weeding of many areas of the yard which were very over-grown and neglected. While they were doing the work for which I had a contract, I asked if they could do some additional work now or later. They were able to complete the work during this visit.

Very well, except that they were supposed to cut the fallen limb into firewood and leave it behind. This was missing from the quote (even though I told John Lasbury I wanted it when he came to give the estimate), so I called the morning of the day that the work was to be done, and I was assured that the request would be added. Yet, upon my arrival home-no firewood! This, however, is a minor complaint, as the other work was done well and expeditiously. They cleaned up after themselves very thoroughly.
Description of Work: removed a fallen limb from a Bradford pear tree, trimmed back Bradford pear tree by 6 feet, trimmed Norway spruce of lower branches to a height of 4 feet.

Shirley is very nice and helpful. John came out quickly and gave us some advice as to some of the other projects we might need done. The trees were there one morning and gone that afternoon with very little mess. There was a little misunderstanding (we wanted the trees mulched and the mulch left there for us to use and that did not get done); however, we are nonetheless pleased. They came in at $500 less than our other tree people for this project and R2000 less for the next project. They will be our arborist of choice!

Lasbury came out on the day they said they would and did an excellent job pruning two maples and a willow. They cleared hanging limbs around wires and over the house. In addition, they completely hauled away a large brush pile and woodpile. They also ground out the stump.
Description of Work: John Lasbury came out for an initial survey of several trees. The company promptly provided me with an estimate on pruning, stump removal, and brush and woodpile removal.

I had received a quote from a company based on receiving a flyer through the mail. From experience, I was aware that tree quotations can vary significantly. I found John Lasbury on Angie's list and was impressed by the reports I read. John came the day after I called, made notes about the work and then sent me a very professional quotation spelling out everything. It was just over half the first quote I had received. I signed a copy and returned it. Two of his team arrived within the 6-9 weeks estimate I had received from their office. They were very pleasant and since I was working in the yard, I watched them for a while. They appeared very expert and I was very pleased with the results. All the pruned material was shredded and taken away. I would most definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Pruned three large trees and reconnected a cable on one.

They cut down a tree and removed it for us. Though we had some miscommunication about the contents of our contract, we weren't charged for their labor due to the misunderstanding. We were pleased with their work.

Holly tree was not reduced in size 3-4'! Unfortunately, I had paid the foreman with a check for $380.00 when work was performed. Owner, Mr. Lasbury, stopped by on my request to check the tree. I stated that I should have requested that the workers trim the tree to specs, and was not going to send another ''cherry picker'' to retrim the tree! When the workers finished the tree it was even with my driveway and walkway. Had it been TRIMMED 3 to 4 Feet, as stated in contract, the tree would have been 3 to 4 feet away from driveway/walkway and not even with it! The tree was shaped - but NOT cut/trimmed 3 to 4 feet in width at any point!

Came out the same day to give an estimate. When we contracted for the work, they said they would schedule it within 2 weeks but since it was a small job they might be able to tack it on to the schedule if they had an opportunity. The limb was gone in 2 days. I like that they made no false promises but did take into consideration my concern about the limb. Left a neat site too.
