I explained that we are a military family stationed overseas and needed to have a tree stump removed and a new mesquite tree planted in its place. This company promptly replied and set up a free estimate for the work, which was $55 for the stump removal and $100 for planting a replacement tree, which included the price of the tree, plus a 10 percent military discount off the final price. I was told and quot;Regarding payment- We can schedule when the check arrives to your tenant and they can pay us upon completion of the job. and quot; I then received an HOA notice to remove and quot;debrisand quot; so I contacted Romeo again and was told to hold the check until they got me a quote regarding the removal of the and quot;debris. and quot; A few days later, they emailed me a revised quote -- I have copied the relevant portion of their email below: and quot;We are set with a date and time along with a slight change of price. The new invoice is $200.00, this includes all manual labor and purchasing of Blue Foothills Palo Verde tree as well as removal of tree/root ball. Date of service is Nov. 18, 2010 between 12:0-2:00pm.Price of tree from Mesquite Valley Nursery on Speedway is :$80.00 this is a15 gallon tree that is currently standing 6 feet high. We will send you an invoice and receipt from Mesquite Valley, once the work is completed. We do ask that you send payment to your tenants as we will collect when our service is completed. We realize it is coming from overseas, so we will confirm with your tenants that they received payment. and quot; I then received the following email: and quot;I made a mistake on the gallon it will be a 5 gallon for $35.00. Total invoice price is $200.00and quot; I assumed that the change in price was due to the additional work to remove the and quot;debrisand quot; and sent off the check to ensure that it would get to my tenants in time for the appointment date. When I checked with our tenant regarding the work, I was told that the and quot;debrisand quot; had been some tree pods which the tenants had removed and that they had informed Romeo of this. My tenant also told me that Romeo completed the work on an earlier date than the scheduled appointment date, that they had told her that they would stop by to pick up the check when it arrived, and that the tree that was planted was no where near 6 feet tall. She sent me a picture of a tree that made Charlie Brown's Christmas tree look like the National Christmas tree! I contacted Romeo on 18 November regarding this information and received the following response the same day: and quot;1. I did originally quote you the prices you mention in your email, but sent you another email with the total of $200.00, which you wrote back and stated that was fine. We included the price of: removal of entire root ball system, shopping for the tree/payment of the tree and soil , planting of the tree. Total hours for this job:5 2. I wrote you an email stating the tree would be in a 5 gallon pot and the total is $35.00 plus tax. See attached invoice/receipt for tree and soil. 3. Your tenant *****, told me her husband removed the debris and stated there were only pods next to the house, therefore; no debris was taken by Romeo Tree Service LLC. 4. Please refer to the emails/correspondence over the last several weeks for any additional information and clarification. 5. On November 9, 2010, I sent you an email that states the price of: $200.00, you responded and quot;Thanks so much!and quot; and quot; I will put the check in the mail todayand quot; So, I am not sure exactly were the miscommuncation comes in or that you are now saying you were unaware of this until today. To plant a six foot tree would have cost; $65.00-85.00 plus, for our service to dig a whole that big to accommodate this tree would cost you between $400.00 - $550.00 6. I sent you an email soon after {about 3 minutes} stating that the tree is in a 5 gallon. {That is about 3-4 feet high. I assumed you knew this, and, yes, I should have clarifed the trees height in the email. However, that would have changed the price to about $250.00 MORE not less.and quot; On November 19 I wrote: and quot;I think that I know what happened. I did not know that my tenant had told you that the and quot;debrisand quot; was only tree pods and she did not tell me that it was just the tree pods. So when you emailed me with the slight change in price, I understood that the change in price was due to an additional charge for hauling away the tree debris that I believed was there. I did not know until today that there was no debris for you to remove. I did receive your email about the error in gallon size/price, but I assumed that the height was the same since your email didn't say anything about an error concerning the size of the tree. As I am not an expert or experienced in this area, I relied on what you told me. I'm not going to belabor the issue here as I believe that we both are trying to be honest and fair. I can't say that I am 100 percent satisfied, but I will pay the $200. Thank you for responding so promptly to my concerns and for taking the time to send me a detailed answer.and quot; Romeo promptly responded and stated: and quot;We will be available to pick up the check on November 20, 2010 between: 8:00am and 11:00am. I will call prior to driving out to the property.and quot; On November 25, they emailed again, stating that they had sent my tenant a stamped, pre-addressed envelope to send in the check, rather than picking it up. Then on November 27, I received the following email: and quot; You have had ample time to pay your outstanding bill of $200.00 to: Romeo Tree Service LLC. We will have to send this bill to collections by Dec. 10, 2010. and quot; I was astounded, to say the least, since they had chosen to complete the work early, had not stopped to pick up the check as agreed, mailed the envelope to my tenant over Thanksgiving week and then threatened me with collection when they hadn't received the check by the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend! When I called my tenant to ask about the check, she told me that the people that she had spoken with at the company had been awful to deal with and terribly rude. The check cleared on December 4, 2010, a whopping 16 days after the originally scheduled work date. Since then I have had another tree/landscaping company remove a mature Acacia tree, grind the stump, and prune other trees for a total of $200. The tree that Romeo planted died a quick death and was later replaced with a 5 foot Mesquite that cost $50 -- it's still alive. I think Romeo overcharged me because I was an absent landlord (I also asked for an estimate on an irrigation repair that first came in at $100 - 175 and was then raised to $270-300, which was later completed by someone else for $65). And the military discount???? Never saw it. I cannot and will not recommend this company to anyone in good conscience.

They got there in the morning and cut down 9 honeysuckle bush/trees in my yard. They were as tall (maybe taller) as my two story home so they had a lot of work. These bushes are tough to cut down due to the branches intertwining . I suspect that is why it takes a little bit of time. It was a little pricey because we had to get the stumps ground up and that alone cost about 240 dollars. They were finished cutting all of it down within a couple hours. Then they spent another hour to grind the stumps. They did a VERY good job on all things. One of the men even found a maple that had bee growing amongst them and they told me they would leave it if I wanted. I decided to keep it and see if it turns out to be a nice tree. They cleaned up very well. This is the second time we have used Aarons and we will continue to call on them for quotes on tree removal. The workers really do a good job of working together and getting the job done. And they communicated well with me and my husband. One of the men, can't remember his name, has been super kind and tried to make my toddler laugh. He seems to enjoy his job very much. (I know that's not very relevent, but as a woman, you want to feel like the people at your house are safe, and after using them twice, I would not feel hesitant to ask most of them questions, so it matters if the workers seem happy doing what they do) In fact , It seems like the owner does a great job of keeping employees because most of the faces were the same from last year to this. And one of the employees was telling me how long each of the guys have been there. Thank you again Aarons tree service. Oh yes, and my yard looks so much nicer without those invasive plants."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/oh/dayton/aarons-tree-service-llc-reviews-297839.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"TOM'S MULCH & TOPSOIL","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"OH","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Karen S."},"reviewBody":"Unsatisfactory - they didn't complete the job in accordance with the contract. In addition to the partially completed job, they also tore out at least $100 worth of existing flowers despite assurances they would leave existing plants.
When I called their project manager about finishing the job, he became irritated and insisted they did the job as contracted. He eventually agreed to come back and complete the job, but complained he was losing money on the project. He then told me their company would never do work for us again. The workers subsequently returned and finished the majority of the contracted work. I gave up trying to get them to complete the job...not worth the aggravation.
I called the owner to give him feedback on the poor job and the unprofessional behavior displayed by his project manager. He said he would talk to the project manager to get his side of the story, however I never heard back from the owner.
There is no excuse for the poor customer service we received from Tom's Mulch. The only thing I seemingly did wrong was to insist they complete the job. At no point did I become disrespectful or angry. The project manager's response (and lack thereof by the owner) was completely unwarranted.
We do agree on one thing at least -- I will not do business with Tom's Mulch again. "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/oh/bellbrook/tom%27s-mulch-and-topsoil-reviews-298403.htm"},"position":9}]}

Yes, it is possible to make a fountain without a pump, though it may seem less intuitive and will require a bit more effort to use. In lieu of an electric pump, there are a few options including hand-cranked pumps or sprinkler systems that can work to provide water for a fountain.
Yes, pool designs can be customized to accommodate specific preferences, allowing for unique shapes, personalized tiling, special lighting features, water fixtures, and varying depths to create bespoke leisure experiences.
While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:
River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants.
These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants.
River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures.
Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.
Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.
After you fill in your pool, you can add trees and plants that help stabilize the soil. You might decide not to fill it in at all and find another use for the sunken area instead. A few ideas include creating a seating area or garden inside the empty pool. Depending on its size, you could create a place to roller-skate or install basketball hoops for an unconventional court.
Check out the price ranges of common fountain types:
Birdbath fountains: $40 to $1,100
Cascading fountains: $40 to $2,000
Tiered fountains: $100 to $6,000
Kugel fountains: $150 to $5,000
Glass wall fountains: $100 to $3,000
