They took down the back fence with care, got the 3 trees down (like 50+ft each) and the 4th trimmed, they cleaned everything up and were very professional and helpful. 2 guys came back the next day to put the back fence back up for us because a support post got taken out to give them access to the trees. They bought some concrete and a new 4x4 and screws to put the fence back in correctly. They were very sweet and helpful, bunch of very talented teddy bears. Would absolutely recommend and hire them again.

We recently had Scott Lane's Tree service take down four trees. The crew showed up on time and took them down in four hours. They were very knowledgeable, efficient, courteous, safe and they cleaned up afterwards. Very fair pricing. Highly recommend their services.

Thank you to the hard working professionals at Scott Lane's Tree Service for their excellent work on my project. I initially requested estimates from different tree services through "Angi", and received some estimates. Scott Lane's Tree Service was one of the companies that gave me an estimate. We initially discussed the type of work that I wanted done over the phone. A crew member came out, went over all of the details, and gave me a written estimate that day. On the day of the project, a full crew came out and got the work done within a few hours, which included clean-up of all debris. They did a very thorough job on four tall pine trees which were overgrown, growing over the roof, and reaching power lines towards the street behind the house. Two live oaks, which had grown together, were separated, thinned-out, and shaped. A mimosa tree and a mulberry tree were cut back from the house, and from over the driveway. Deadwood was also removed from the two. I highly recommend your company. Thank you again for a great job!

Over a week without a call to schedule. Can't give a positive review if they don't want to get in touch.

Scott is extremely knowledgeably about caring for trees. His company provides an awesome team of individuals that work well together from removing trees, grinding stumps, trimming branches to cleaning up!

Went well. I did have to call to see when he was coming after 2 weeks passed. He did arrive on the day he ultimately promised and they were very quick and efficient.

I cannot express how happy I am with this company! The crew started early in the morning, removed two trees and trimmed 2 others. They did a phenomenal job and left my property as clean if not cleaner than when they arrived. Very reasonably priced. Quality work and very nice crew!!!!!! You will not meet nicer or more professional people!

When they showed up to do the job, they went straight to work. Good or not good. I finally heard the equipment working out in yard. I think they should have touched bases with me before they started. But all went OK as it turned out.

Initially they cut down a pine tree on November 1, 2017 which went very well, however, when it came to removing the stump a totally different story. At that time we requested that the stump be removed. We were given an estimate and that Ms Utility would have to mark the stump before they could remove. The stump was marked a couple days later. Today marks 44 days since the tree was cut down and still no scheduled day to remove the stump. We had called/emailed several times to get a date/time and were basically told "don't call us we will call you with a date". Yesterday we had the stump removed by a responsive tree service company. We had to have the stump marked by Ms Utility again. Could no longer wait for a response from Scott Tree Service. We are very disappointed in their service.

Not well. the company did not show up on the contracted date. They did not complete the job contracted. They destroyed a tree that was specifically promised to be preserved in the process of cutting down the trees. They would not return our calls. The secretary would not allow us to contact the owner who signed the contract. The experience was very unsatisfactory, they scammed my mother out of money for incomplete and an overall poorly done job.
Response from Scott Lane's Tree Service

The secretary did indeed relay ALL messages to Mr. Lane [Member Information Removed] in no way shape or form prohibit any the owner from being contacted by the customer. Customer did not notify company of any "destroyed" tree . We absolutely did not "scam" customer. The job was completed [Member Information Removed] customer's son paid us by check at completion of job [Member Information Removed] remarked he was satisfied with said work. We have been in business for over 25 years [Member Information Removed] have served many customers in Hampton Roads area who have remained loyal customers [Member Information Removed] have been pleased with services we provide."

While asking for firewood to be delivered from Scott Lane's tree service, we asked for an estimate on a tree in our backyard to be removed while they were at our house. This was in February 2017. We signed the tree removal estimate but said that we would not be ready to have it removed until May 2017, we wanted to budget to have the tree removed. One week later, they came into our yard WITHOUT SCHEDULING WITH US and cut the tree down. This tree is large and tall enough that we would have let our neighbors that it was being done. I called and complained and one receptionist said that our estimate was put in a wrong job pile and that she was sorry. I called back and spoke to another receptionist and she was extremely rude to me and said that we signed the estimate so we have to pay right away. I called the owner who never apologized for their office error. They sent 4 notices for payment and threatened collections. I paid them the $600 in May like I said that I would when we first discussed doing business together. I have had them take down trees in the past- I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN. Very rude and poor customer service.

As we were fearful that the leaning tree could press even further onto our home we wanted it out quickly. He was able to come out the next day. He had a full crew, did all the work and cleaned everything up. Swept the deck clear. Blew the sawdust into the mulch to make more mulch, every limb and leaf was gone. They put everything back in its place. I can't say enough good things about how professional and efficient they handled everything.

Not well at all. I made an agreement that the process could start in a week or two as I would be out of town. I didn't need to be there, by agreement, so that worked out well-that was on 8/21. On 8/30 the tree came down but the stump remained. I waited until 9/9 and placed my first call to SL Tree Service to see when the stump would be removed-assuming as with other tree contractors this would be a one day and done operation. I was told that other new work had taken a priority and it would probably be next week. Next week came and went so I called SLTS again on 9/16-I was told "we'll get to it next week for sure"-the woman answering the phone replied "Even if I have to do it myself-Mr. Corbett". Next week came and went. I went out of town on 9/20 but before I left I made arrangements to meet with another tree service upon my return on 9/29 to have the stump removed. I got a call on 9/26 from neighbors that work had resumed and the stump had been removed-almost 4 weeks to the day that the tree had been taken down. Never a proactive call from SLTS-always SLTS reacted to calls I initiated-very unprofessional-plans I had for that area of the yard had to be put on hold for one month-for what should have been a one day job. It took them a month for a one day operation so a month from 9/26 they will get my check and the original amount will be reduced to compensate for bad performance
