Description of Work: This company does a great job. I have used them twice and will continue to do so, but the last job - pruning some leggy crapes and some other plants seemed pretty pricey, costing more than the previous job of dead-wooding 2 large oaks - and took no more time.

Description of Work: After a lengthy phone call, I explained to the owner that I was in no rush to have work completed. He knew I was getting quotes from other companies. He pretty much asked until I told him one of the quotes, then called 2 weeks later, after stating he would stop by for an estimate, to decline the work. DO NOT GIVE ESTIMATE from other companies, he won't make it out.

Response from Independent Tree Service Inc
Ms. [Member Name Removed], Thank you for your response on Angie's List. To re-cap, you contacted us for a proposal involving stump grinding. After after a short phone conversation, I estimated a ball park cost (site unseen) of $300 - $400 to grind several stumps behind your pool. I then asked if this ball park quote fell in line with the other estimates you received. You indicated that you had already obtained 4 estimates that ranged from $250 - $700. I questioned why there was such a large gap in the numbers, you then explained that many of the stumps were surrounded in lava rock that needed to be hauled away. I agreed to stop by sometime the following week for a formal estimate even though we do not typically haul away this type of debris. Monday of the following week I called to explain that I could not make it to your part of town during the week due to another project that required my extended attention. I apologized for any inconvenience and suggested you choose a service provider you were comfortable with that had already provided you an estimate. Thank you again for your inquiry.
