I contacted the owner who lives two blocks away. He gave me a quote of $175. Approximately a year and a half went by and I contacted the owner again. He charged me over $700 and told me that he only accepted CASH. I found his old card and told him about the discrepancy in pricing. He then offered to do two free sprayings for me (value $150). I thanked him but told him that once I had been taken, that was it for me. I wanted nothing more to do with him or his company. Now as to the actual job: He removed one huge limb from the tree. The tree had ivy growing up and around it and he suggested that it be removed (which I did the next week by myself). I questioned whether he was going to seal the area where he took off the limb and I was told it wasn't necessary. I did it myself when I took down the ivy. I would not recommend this company.
Description of Work: Tree needed pruning.

TROPICAL STATE DID A GREAT JOB ON THE PRUNING OF MY TREE BUT THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS TO KNOW IF THE INSECTICIDE WORKED. I THOUGHT THEY WERE A LITTLE EXPENSIVE BUT OTHER THAN THAT THEY WERE GOOD.
Description of Work: PRUNED VERY LARGE TREE IN FRONT YARD AND SPRAYED WITH INSECTICIDE.
