I HEARD THESE PEOPLE RECOMMENDED THROUGH UNIVERSITY HORTICULTURAL TYPES.

DAVID IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND WAS HELPFUL TO ME IN DECIDING WHAT TO DO WITH OUR TREES. WORKERS WERE ON TIME AND CLEANED UP THEIR MESS. THEY ALSO, TRIMMED TO THE GROUND SUCKERS AROUND 3 CRAB APPLES WHICH I HADN'T EXPECTED, BUT WAS HAPPILY SURPRISED THAT THEY DID.

WE HAD ASKED TO HAVE ONE OF OUR TREES DIAGNOSED. THE CONDITION WAS IDENTIFIED AND THE TREATMENT RECOMMENDED. WE WERE TOLD THE OPTIMAL TIME FOR THE SERVICE WAS IN NOVEMBER, AND THEY WOULD CALL US BEFORE COMING. THEY DID NOT SHOW FOR THE SERVICE, AND THE TREE SPECIALIST WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO DISCUSS OR RESCHEDULE, DESPITE 5-6 CALLS. IN JANUARY, WE SPOKE WITH THE SECRETARY WHO STATED THE TREE SPECIALIST SAID THE TREATMENT COULD BE DONE IN THE EARLY WINTER, AND THEY WOULD CALL US. AGAIN, SEVERAL CALLS TRANSPIRED. THEY LATER TOLD US THE OPTIMAL TIME WAS IN THE SPRING, BUT BY APRIL, I CONTACTED ANOTHER COMPANY WHO TOLD ME THE NOVEMBER TIME WAS THE BEST, AND THAT WE MISSED OUR OPPORTUNITY.

THE TREE WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND THEIR WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY HOUSE. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED AND THEIR CLEAN UP WAS EXCELLENT!

THEY SUBMITTED A BID, AND AGREED TO DO THE WORK IN NOVEMBER, AND THEY NEVER SHOWED UP OR CALLED.

I HAD SPOKEN TO OTHER COMPANIES. AHLUM, IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST, VERY PROFESSIONAL!

YET TO RETURN CALL.

THEY HAD SOMEONE COME OUT IN ADVANCE AND OFFER ALL OPTIONS AND GIVE SUGGESTIONS AND ADVICE FOR TREE CARE. THEY CAME ON TIME AND GOT THE WORK DONE. THEY ALSO REMOVED ALL LIMBS AND DEBRIS. I FEEL IT WAS AN EXCELLENT VALUE FOR THE QUALITY OF WORK. THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE.

THEY KNOCKED DOWN THE MAILBOX, BUT WAS HONEST ABOUT IT. THEY SAID WE COULD DEDUCT THE COST. WE DEDUCTED $20 INSTEAD OF THE WHOLE COST WHICH WAS $120 BECAUSE OF THEIR HONESTY.

I HAD USED THIS COMPANY IN A COUPLE OF OTHER TIMES, THE LAST BEING AROUND 1994, AND WAS PLEASED WITH THEIR WORK. THEY DIDN'T DISAPPOINTMENT ME THIS TIME, EITHER! DAVE AHLUM IS VERY GOOD TO WORK WITH.

THE WORK WAS PERFORMED 2 MONTHS LATER THAN ORIGINALLY PLANNED.

THEIR WORK WAS BEAUTIFUL, HOWEVER THEY CHARGED ME $200 MORE THAN WHAT IT SAID ON THE ESTIMATE. I THOUGHT THAT THE INITIAL ESTIMATE INCLUDED ALL OF MY SHRUBS, BUT IT DID NOT. AND THEY DID NOT TELL ME WHY THE PRICED CHANGED. WHEN I RECEIVED THE BILL, I WROTE A LETTER TO THEM EXPLAINING THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY UNFAIR PRICE AND NOT THE PRICE THAT I EXPECTED. I SENT THEM A PAYMENT FOR THE ENTIRE $327. THEY NEVER RESPONDED TO MY LETTER.

THE WORK WAS EXPENSIVE, BUT THE WORK WAS NECESSARY, AND THE TREES LOOK VERY HEALTHY AND HAVE BLOOMED BEAUTIFULLY THIS SPRING.

THE PRICE SEEMED HIGH, BUT WAS WELL WORTH THE PERFORMANCE.
