The date and price are approximate since it was a while ago and I don't remember the exact numbers. I had used this company a few times prior dating back into the 1990's and they had done good work so I did not hesitate to use them again on this occasion. Pete called on short notice and wanted to do the work on a Friday afternoon apparently after another job in the morning. Undortunately, I could not be present as I had to work. Since he had done good work in the past I was not overly worried. That was a mistake. When I checked on the job after work, I found that some of the specified limbs were not cut and the stumps had not been removed. Worse, he had apparently pulled his trucks up onto the lawn and done a very nice job of trenching the lawns in two spots. One of the trucks leaked hydraulic fluid onto the lawn. Remnants of those trenches are still there today. It seemed clear the problem was that the job was done in a hurry. I immeidtaley called his office and left a message outlining the issues and asking him  to call me. He never returned my call. I will say that he did send someone back a few days later to grind the stumps. He never did take care of limbs he missed. I ran into him on the streets of Port Jefferson one Saturday night and he clearly thought he had done a wonderful job. I did not want to start an argument on a social occasion but his reaction to my curt response clearly disabused him of the notion that I might agree with him.

We were pleased with them. He did what he was supposed to do and I thought the price was fair. I got him from the sign that was put in the neighborhood. We are retired but we try to do most of the work ourselves. We were happy with them.
