July 12, 2024 Mike (owner) of A CUT ABOVE Tree Service and his crew arrived this morning right on time. We had a front row seat, to a fascinating and dangerous process, with Mike and his crew working like a well-oiled machine They removed 4 trees; started at 7:30 am and gone at 12:30 pm, with the yard and cal-de-sac completely cleaned. They even picked up all the black walnuts that had fallen from the black walnut tree that Mike shaped. (We hate the black walnuts.) We were absolutely thrilled with the care they took to protect the ground where the equipment went and protected the house from scratches. Mike dropped a huge Maple in the back yard, perfectly placed, missing the other trees, the fence, the deck. This was a job-well-done if we ever saw one. On a scale of 1 to 5, we would give a 10. If you are in need of a tree-service, this should be your only call. No one better than Mike and his crew. Dan and Pam Sundsmo White Bear Lake, MN

Amazing work! Mike was over giving an estimate on a Saturday and had the project done by that Thursday! He and his crew did a great job! When I got home from work trees were gone and Mike was about 50 feet in the air trimming our other tree. Gotta give him props for climbing a tree with a chainsaw. Mike's crew had our whole yard raked and clean and you couldnt tell they were other then the crowd of people that gathered to watch him. Thank you again Mike and you will be our first call for any future tree work.

They assured me that the property would be safe. They drove up on my neighbor's driveway and cracked their asphalt. They drove in my yard as well (that was marked with a stake so no one would drive on it.) They standing tree went fine, but they only removed a big limb from the dead tree, even though I wanted the whole tree removed. I called them and they said they thought they made it clear that they were just removing the one limb. They kept telling me that I misunderstood them, even though I wouldn't have paid them just to remove one limb. I complained about them denting my yard and damaging my neighbor's driveway, and they said they would come back and put dirt in my yard. They said they can't be responsible for the neighbor's yard. I told them I feel responsible, but they said the driveway shouldn't have cracked. He said that if they forget to come out, that I should just "keep bugging them."

"WE WERE HIRED BY THIS CLIENT TO REMOVE A STANDING TREE IN HER BACKYARD AND A DEAD LIMB ON A DEAD TREE THAT WAS ON CLIENT AND NEIGHBORS PROPERTY LINE. THE NEIGHBOR DID NOT AGREE TO HAVING THE ENTIRE TREE REMOVED BUT DID GIVE PERMISSION TO HAVE THE DEAD LIMB THAT WAS OVER HANGING ON CLIENTS PROPERTY REMOVED. THERE WAS A WRITTEN CONTRACT SIGNED BY CLIENT CLEARLY STATING THE WORK TO BE DONE. THE CLIENT AND NEIGHBOR HAVE A SHARED DRIVEWAY. THERE WAS A PRE EXISTING HOLE IN THE NEIGHBORS HALF OF THE DRIVEWAY. WE DID NOT DRIVE ANY EQUIPMENT ON THE NEIGHBORS HALF OF THE DRIVEWAY. WE TALKED WITH THE NEIGHBOR AND THEY KNEW THE HOLE WAS PRE EXISTING THERE FORE DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE OR COMPLAINT. THE CLIENT BELIEVED WE DAMAGED THE DRIVEWAY. WE DID NOT DRIVE ANY EQUIPMENT ON ANY PORTION OF THE CLIENTS YARD AT ANY TIME THERE WAS NO NEED TO WE WERE ABLE TO ACCESS BOTH TREES WITH EQUIPMENT PARKED ON CLIENTS HALF OF THE DRIVEWAY. WE TAKE PRIDE IN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS OUR NUMBER ONE GOAL.WE ALWAYS MAKE IT CLEAR TO HOMEOWNERS OF ANY POTENTIAL DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR TO PROPERTY DURING TREE WORK BEING PERFORMED AND TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY IF WE CAUSE ANY DAMAGE."

THEY CAME TO OUR HOUSE AND SAID LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED SOME STUMPS GROUND UP. I ASKED HOW MUCH THEY WANTED, SAID THEY WOULD DO THE PINE STUMP FOR $60. I SAID THAT WILL BE O.K. THEY CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND DID THAT STUMP. I ALSO HAD A STUMP ON THE BOULEVARD THAT I THOUGHT THE CITY WOULD DO. THEY SAID THEY CHECKED WITH THE NEIGHBORS AND THE NEIGHBORS TOLD THEM THE CITY WOULD NOT DO. WANTED $160. FOR THAT STUMP. I SAID NO. I ALSO CALLED THE CITY AND THEY SAID THEY WILL DO IT. THINK THE TREE PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO PULL ONE ON ME.
Response from A CUT ABOVE TREE SERVICE
"CITIES SAY ONE THING AND DO ANOTHER. IT ALL GOES BY WHAT THEY HAVE TIME AND MONEY FOR. DURING THE STORM WE WERE IN CONTACT WITH ALOT OF CITIES. THEY WOULD TELL US ONE THING BUT DO ANOTHER. A LOT OF PEOPLE GOT SHAFTED DURING THE STORM. WE WERE NOT TRYING TO PULL ANYTHING ON ANYONE. WE TELL ONLY WHAT WE ARE TOLD BY THE CITY. WE CAN NOT HELP THAT THE CITY CHANGES WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO DAY BY DAY. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY MISOMMUNICATION. CUSTOMER SATISFATION IS OUR NUMBER ONE GOAL."
