Jim's All Seasons LLC

Jim & crew came in with a bucket and did an excellent job of taking down the trees with no damage to the house or fence under the trees. trees were removed in sections and roped down.

I needed a tree removed. called Jim's all season on Friday afternoon. Saturday afternoon my doorbell rang with an estimate. it seemed reasonable to me (although I never got an second estimate from a competing company) so I gave the OK to proceed. They came on Monday afternoon and cut down the tree. Then another truck came by in the late afternoon and ground down the stump. They did a great job. highly recommended.

The job was well done.

The worked professionally and quickly with correct equipment.

They were very professional. Came out on time. They took the time to evaluate before cutting the tree down making sure nothing would be damaged. They are very reasonable in price as well.

Called and left message about work I wanted done. He called back a day later to let me know that I was out of the area he services and recommended another company. It was refreshing to get a call back even though he couldn't do the work.

We received several quotes of which Jim's was the least expensive. We were told that we could save a little money if we allowed Jim?s company to use equipment to remove the wood and was informed there would be minimal damage to the yard. We agreed thinking that minimal damage would repair itself everything would be OK. We came home on the day of the work and were greeted with a trashed front and side lawn. I am getting ready to repair it for the spring and I am not happy with the prospect of having to spend the money to repair the grass in the front of our house. I am estimating that it will be about $400 by the time we purchase the grass seed, peat moss, straw and the required 7 yards of topsoil to fix the damage done by Jim along with an increase in our water bill as we water the reseeded lawn. Additionally, we can?t put a price on the time that it will take for us to get the lawn back in order. We will gladly send pictures if you are interested. Contact me at steele_116@yahoo.com if you would like more info. When we first observed the damage we contacted Jim and asked him to come out and see if he agreed it was more than minimal damage. He proceeded to raise his voice at me while I was sitting at my desk at work and tell me that he told my wife there was going to be damage. He went on to say that I should have expected our yard to be trashed because he was the cheapest and that he was not going to speak with me anymore because he had dealt with my wife. All of this while I was in my professional office where I work as an engineer. I contacted Jim again before writing this review to give him another chance to make it right because I am getting ready to order the materials. He told me that people try to get him to pay for stuff all the time after he has told them there is going to be damage. We must not be the only ones that have had this ?misunderstanding.? He was also sure to warn me that when I post my review, I had better indicate that he had informed me that there could be damage to the yard otherwise it was slander. So, we are now going to try and sell our house with straw in the front yard where we are trying to re-grow our grass. Thanks for all of the ?savings? Jim! Response to provider response: First of all, the reason for the time between when the work was done and when we wrote the review is because we have a new child tand hat takes up quite a bit of time But, more importantly since it is spring, I am now mowing our dirt / lawn again becoming more and more livid with every pass. I have never been so insulted and completely fuming mad with any one individual or company in my life. In looking at the pictures, would any of you agree to this? If you knew that this kind of damage was probable, or even possible, would you willingly "save" $200 by going this route? We are going to spend that in top soil alone. Unfortunately, the condescending tone that we heard on the phone in our several conversations can be discerned from the response to our review below. Again, feel free to contact us directly at the email address above if you want additional information. Yes, we are considering selling, but that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with why we are writing this review. We would need to repair our lawn whether we were moving or not because we want to be proud of the appearance of our property. Ultimately, we decided to accept Jim's quote because of his references here on Angie's list and the expectation from those reviews, that the service would be reliable. We have seen several contractors use plywood as a makeshift driveway over the grass to prevent total destruction. Unfortunlately that was not done here. One should know better than to drive a 7000 lb skid steel loader (details of which were never revealed) on a muddy lawn shouldn't one?

Marked Yes in the "Would you use this company/individual again in the future" because "maybe" wasn't an option, and believe everyone deserves a second chance.

Called and left message 10 AM Monday. Jim returned my call at 12:30 PM. The following day he came out at 11:30 AM for the price quote. I accepted and his crew came out and completed the job while I was at work that afternoon. I was pleased to find the job completed when I returned home from work that night. The wood was cut and stacked, the driveway and yard was left clean. Jim returned the next morning to collect the payment and asked if I was pleased with the job, which I was.

Absolutely fabulous, Jim & crew were very efficient. I left a message to get a quote and received a call back within 2 hours. Within and hour of the call, Jim was here with a VERY reasonable quote. Because it was a small job, he asked if we could wait until he was doing other work in the neighborhood (which I had no problem with). Within a week, he called and was here to do the job. Cut down the tree leaving burnable pieces for firewood. He and his crew stacked the logs neatly behind our shed. All the smaller branches and twigs were taken out to their mulcher. The yard was immaculate when they were done. Two days later Joe - the stump grinder came and did a magnificent job grinding the stump and roots. I am very happy with the services provided and will recommend them to any friends or family needing tree service. Thanks Jim.!

.The gentlemen that came out was nice and cordial and the clean up was very good.

We originally were going to have only two trees removed. One because it was diseased, and another because we were having a new garage built and it was too close to the structure. After consulting with the building contractor, we decided to have four more trees removed as well. Jim gave us a fair estimate for both the original two and then the additional four. The gentlemen arrived as scheduled on the day of the removal and, as I stated above, finished in one day.

They were good and they came and did the job. They cleaned up afterwards and all the service people were very courteous and professional.

After accepting his bid, he said that he would be back in touch with me by the end of the week to establish when the work would be done. I actually called him, and after a few calls back and forth we decided on a day to remove a tree, grind the stump and grind some roots around the base of the tree. We had a little difficulty on the date because of rainy weather. The crew arrived on time, did the appropriate work and left the area as clean as I expected

Well. There was a slight hiccup, as he was late by a day or two due to equipment malfunction. But he called promptly to let us know of the delay, and there was no problem. Upon arriving, he cut over 18" off the stump with his chain saw, and removed the pieces. The stump was large - over 3' in diameter. He then proceeded to grind down the remaining stump, taking great care to not hit the sidewalk. After about an hour, he was done, and there was a massive pile of mulch on our yard/sidewalk. Jim was quite friendly, and we wouldn't hesitate to use him for tree service in the future.

I got two bids, and went with this one mainly because it was $200 less than the other, and I need to watch my finances. And I thought, how hard can this be? I was completely happy with the work, which took a mere half hour or so. My only beef with the company was that they didn't get in touch with me to schedule the trim. Finally, I called and said I had to have the work done within a week. They came the very next day. This was a very minor issue for me.

One of my pin oaks had some large dead limbs swaying way too close to windows and had to be remedied before ice storm season started. A second pin oak had a lot of dead limbs and needed some preventive attention. Left Jim a message late after seeing his listing and reviews on Angie's. Fortunately, he called back the next day but unfortunately I couldn't pick up and that started a round of phone tag, but Jim was pleasantly persistent! Jim hustles on getting out an estimate, but then I'm not way out in the boondocks either. The crew arrived well within the time frame given, were professional, pleasant and accomodating. I am very frugal so my rating of a B on price is probably more my being a penny pincher but they were VERY worth the money spent. Will definitely use Jim again.

They were excellent. They were prompt and cleaned up. They did an excellent job. We didn't have any complaints and we would recommend them. They were very easy to work with. There was a crew of 6 or 7 guys and they were here all day. They arrived on time and they explained exactly what they were going to do. They were very efficient. They didn't leave a mess. They were very good.

I was having a fence installed and had a large shrub in the way of where I wanted it to go. I called several companies for quotes to remove the shrub. One said the minimum fee for anything was $200, another gave me a quote of $150, but Jim's gave me the best quote at $100. I called at the beginning of August, needing it removed before the fence contractors came on the 29th. Jim was very helpful and, although his business is located a good ways from Lakewood, he was sure he would have some work out my way and could come by--thus charging me a smaller fee than if he was just to come out and do it, which was why the first contractor was going to charge me $200. Unfortunately August was the month nobody from Lakewood needed anything and then towards the end of the month there was a large storm which caused a lot of work for tree removal companies. I talked to Jim a few times and he assured me my job would be taken care of. Although nobody in Lakewood needed his services he still came out and got the job done at the cost he estimated for me.

Jim and his crew were very professional. They worked quickly, efficiently, and carefully. I was impressed at how well the crew worked together, each person knowing exactly what to do next. They removed 2 trees, ground the stumps and trimmed a third tree in 2 hours flat. They took special care in removing one tree which hung over the house. They removed all the wood and completely cleaned up the yard. The charges were spot on with the quote.

I called them on a Friday and left a message. Jim came out the next day and gave me an oral estimate of the price ($1600 + tax) for removing the oak tree. He also said that he could trim some trees in my back yard and the price would be between $200 and $800, depending upon how much I wanted done - to be decided on the day that they came to do the work. I picked Jim's company over another equally well rated company even though his estimate for the oak tree was $200 more than the other company (Wilson's Tree Service). I picked Jim's because he said that they would be able to come in about a week after the estimate whereas it appeared that it would be quite a bit longer before Wilson's could come to do the job. Also Jim said that they could trim trees in my yard at the same time without using any heavy equipment. Wilson's wanted to wait until spring to do the tree trimming. When they came to do the work Jim said that the removal of the wood from the oak tree would be an extra $200 whereas my understanding was that the $1600 included wood removal. Since I didn't have a written estimate Jim agreed to waive the extra $200. I should have asked for a written estimate, so I really don't know if I got a senior discount or an Angie's list discount, and that would also have avoided the misunderstanding about the cost of removing all the wood.

See above where I discussed. The service went very well!

Jim was responsive and quick about getting back to me and he told me when he was in the area he would plan to cut the tree down, which he did. He gave me a heads up when he was coming. The clean up was great. The yard looked better than when came. One of the neighbors wanted the tree for wood and they accommodated her.

Having used Jim's services one month ago, I was confident the removal of this tree would be performed expertly at an exceptional price -- and I was not disappointed.

Jim came out to give us an estimate on the work we wanted done. Jim recommended that we have a landscaper address the concerns we had with our dogwoods and a burning bush. As we needed bucket service Jim voiced concern about the lawn and how damp it was. He wanted to make sure it was dry enough. The job was complete within a week of our initial contact with him. The crew was timely and polite. They put boards down to lessen any impressions on the lawn. They trimmed the trees - inside and outside. The asked if things were shaped enough. They were meticulous on the clean up, raking up and removing all of the trimmings. They chipped up all the branches. Someome came out later that afternoon to grind the stumps of the bushes.
