Description of Work: .

Description of Work: I have used JLH multiple times over the years, and always recommend them to others. They are professional, friendly, and able to handle difficult jobs...seemingly with ease. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do tree work around my home.

Description of Work: Looked at troubled trees ("Arbor Vitae"), for which we solicited their advice. He said he did not know that type of tree (not an uncommon tree in FL). Very friendly young man, but obviously not well-experienced or knowledgeable about how to advise or address the tree malady for which we called upon them. He did not have camera to take pictures, for personal follow-up research.

Description of Work: While they sent me an email and called to say they were going out to look at the job, it's been more than a week, and have not heard anything. I had the job done today by someone else.

Description of Work: Trim trees and take some bush out

Description of Work: They raised the canopy on five oak trees including specific pruning on one. They also removed and ground the stump of a very large Magnolia Tree. Had many pieces of equipment and a fairly large crew. Started on time at 8:30 and finished by 2:30. I was very pleased with their work. I would definitely hire them again. Not to mention, they are licensed and Insured not only for liability to cover any damages to my property but also they have workman's comp for all their employees. I checked with their insurance company to verify. I million dollar policy for workman's comp and 2 million dollar policy liability. Very reputable company.

Description of Work: CUSTOMER BEWARE!!!!! I requested bids from four highly rated tree removal companies on Angie's List. JLH was one of these companies, and the other three companies were fully licensed and insured, as was JLH. I was requesting the removal of two large pine trees with very few branches, eight much smaller, typical sized trees, and also cutting the top half of a dead pine tree having no branches. I also requested that four of the stumps be ground out. A big advantage I offered was that the cut trees could be left in a burning field on my property. No need to cart truck loads of cut limbs to a dump 20 miles away and pay the dump fee. The cut trees only needed to be moved a few hundred feet to the burning location on our 5.5 acre property. The other three companies all had scores of references and had received all A's on Angie's List. Each of the companies estimated a one day job to remove the trees and all of the companies, including JLH, indicated they would use a crane to expedite the cutting of the trees. Using a crane, a tree can be totally cut and lowered to the ground in just two cuts. Company A offered to due the job in one day for $1,800. Company B offered to do the job for $1,500 a day with a guarantee that the cost would not exceed $2,250. This company also offered to grind stumps continually while working on our property since there are many stumps left over from the 600+ trees we have had removed in the last eight years. Company C offered to remove the trees for $300 a tree, and included unlimited stump grinding for two days. Company C's bid offered the use of a 110 foot crane which it owned. We live on an estate on the Rainbow River and our land is the largest lot on the river. I suspect that when JLH saw where we lived, the price went through the roof. It's bid was $11,000 for the one day job, and an extra $1,000 to grind the four stumps. TOTAL BID WAS $12,000!!!!. When one of the two owners called me about the bid, I pointed out that since we live on a very impressive property, the other owner who provided the bid was trying to gouge us. Eli, the partner I didn't meet, had Josh, the partner who provided the bid, to write me a long email. Josh said these were the biggest trees he had ever seen in his 15 years in the business, and that there was no advantage to leaving the cut up trees right on the property since they still had to move them from one spot to another. In other words, a 500 foot drive to the disposal site is absolutely no different that a 40 mile round trip to a dump. This was insulting logic. Here's his precise statement: "With carting all of the debris to the far side of your property, we are still loading and cleaning up all debris as if we are hauling it away. The only savings is the dump fee, so there is a lot of cost wrapped up in extra labor moving the debris." Eli, the owner I didn't meet, insisted that they had to charge a huge price because they had worker's comp insurance premiums (as did everyone else). Josh, in his email, also said he expected to spend up to three days cutting down the 10 trees plus topping the dead one. That's a little more that three trees a day. Lamb Tree Service, when it was in business, removed 58 HUGE pine trees in three days using a crane, and that included burning the trees right on our property. These people might do a good job, but I suspect that they farm out the work to other companies from what was said in the email from Josh. He claimed he and Eli had been in business together for 15 years. Eli said it was 10 years. Neither of them were able to describe any equipment they owned, so from my vast experience, this looks like a company that takes a cut and sends in other companies. Buyer beware. In my opinion, you might get a good job but you could be paying $1,000 a tree when the going rate by the guys who own equipment is more like $200 a tree if you don't have to haul everything away. I give these people the lowest possible rating and I'm keeping their bid and email in case they want to play with me in court.

Description of Work: Trimmed dead wood from all of my trees in a very professional manner. It was an eight hour job.

Description of Work: A couple weeks ago, I had a huge limb fall from a giant water oak in my back yard. |After several bids, I chose JLH because their professionalism and bid met my high |expectations for this job. Their company insurance documentation was presented |WITH the bid and I did not even need to ask. The crew showed up with modern equipment and outstanding skills to do the job correctly and safely, right down to |the clean up which included raking and removal of ALL debris. In a month or so I have them returning to cut dead wood from my entire property, approx. 2 acres. |I especially liked the fact that the JLH crew was more interested in taking their time to do the job right than they were hurrying through to get my check and head out to the next job.....THANKS FOR THE GREAT JOB, JLH CREW!

Description of Work: We requested that this company send a certified arborist to our address to give us a second opinion and cost estimate regarding the need for trimming our "live oak". Another tree service tech had stopped by the previous day to offer to trim our oak for $800 - stating that the large lower branches had grown too heavy.

Description of Work: Remove one small misshapen tree from back yard, trim another tree in back yard, and had them trim back flowering tree in front yard. Cleaned up the the branches, and remains of the tree cut down so well that when they left one could not see any evidence that they had been there. Have used them in the past on two separate occasions with excellent results.

Description of Work: We have two live oak trees in front of our house. The have grown to between 20 and 30 feet. They were starting to look a little shabby, plus many limbs were hanging rather low and we didn't want anyone to get hurt walking into them. We called JLH for an estimate, they came out, gave us an estimate of $285.00 to trim both trees and we hired them. They also cleaned up all the cut branches and hauled them away.
