South Jersey Tree Service

Never complete the job, too the money and never came back.

This company and this guy, Chris Laste that we deal with is a thief and a fraud. Just like the previous complainer, they are quick to take down the trees and collect our money, but does not complete the job.  We still have huge trees that was fell, still uncut and not remove from the backyard along with branches in the driveway. The guy, Chris Laste who's running and carrying the company phone number keeps telling you lies after lies and excuses after excuses for when they can come and complete the work, but never show up after 3 weeks later. Will just have to deal with the company thru legal channel. Don't do business with these guys if you have big job lasting more than a few hours. They're crooks.


6-3-2016 update: It's more than a month now and they continue to tell us lies that they will come to finish the job, and so far nothing. We've reported them to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and will be filing a case against them in court. We have overgrown lawns and shrub in the yard that cannot be cut because of the tree branches and huge tree still all over the yard. They have the nerve to asked us to remove this negative posting when they are not even attempting to complete the work after they took our money.


6-10-2016: Chris Laste continue to lie and promises that he will complete the job three times this week and never did. He is a lier and thief.

They cut down the trees, took the money, and promised to come back to remove the trees and clean up, but they never came back. We filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, pending resolution.

They were supposed to haul everything away.  They did take the one tree in the back of the house away but left the huge silver maple cut up and laying all over the front of the property and driveway.  They took some of it away but the bulk remains and they will not respond to my phone calls or e-mails.  They were also supposed to trim another tree but never did.  Also, if you don't call first thing in the morning, their mailbox is full and won't take any more calls.

After working 2 days at house and cutting down 2 trees and leaving half the wood for one of the cut down tree they were paid full in good faith because i was unable to meet up with them the next day. They have yet to return to house and cut down last tree (70 foot) and have left all the cut wood just laying in yard. There have been many promises of them returning via text to no avail im now at the point where i have a lawyer and filing charges with police. I honestly never write negative reviews on anything but now being taken for a ride for 2 months i felt like i need to sign up to warn people of this companies total disregard of honest pratices.
