When my wife came home there was tree sap on driveway and sidewalk that leads up to the front door. (on Sept 4th) She called him the next day to say that happened, I guess he got testy and stated that he had been in business for 30 years and that he had never had a complaint before and that the sap should come off with a heavy rain. A week later we had the very heavy rain and it was still there. Today I took a power washer and tried it and nothing lifted. It is stained. So I called for him this morning and asked for a call back. He didn't call but he did show up and I showed him the problem and he basically didn't believe it. He said that the power washer should have cleaned it up. He asked me what "I wanted him to do about it" I told him to get the "h..." out of here. He had gotten kinda smart eliky. He said that the mess had to have been there before and that his guys would not have left a mess. So I got online and googled how to clean this up. There is no easy way to get it off, that it will be very problematic from what I read online.
Description of Work: He trimmed the tree and what he did work wise, was excellent! If there were 2 categories, I would "A" for quality of work, however an "F" for his responsiveness regarding the sap issue.

Response from A CUT ABOVE TREE SERVICE
Mr. "A" was referred to us from two of his other neighbors. Notice how "A" list that we did a great job as far as the tree trimming, which is what we where contracted to do. Most all of the trees in this neighborhood are Pear Trees. They have little balls that drop off of them in the Fall. The tree we trimmed was severely over grown over the sidewalk and driveway. We trimmed it way back away from the sidewalk and driveway to where its shape was back into the grassy area. This made the sidewalk and driveway much more noticeable. These stains are from years of the fruit balls dropping on the concrete, and being walked on or driven on. Our equipment was never in "A" driveway. We carried all tree trimming to the street to dispose of it. Ironically enough when we went back out to view the complaint, Mr. "A" neighbor was acid washing and Thompson sealing his driveway. Mr. "A" was argumentative and combative, he kept insisting that I must be calling him a liar, with the up most professionalism and courtesy I explained to "A" that it was not sap. It was the balls that created the stains from years of falling, and asked him what did he wish us to do? with no response he then stated "to get the H*** out of here, and this is not over". I bid "A" an "ok have a nice day" and left. I personally feel "A" wanted us to acid wash his sidewalks and entire driveway due to what the neighbor was doing. Also I do not believe "A" used a pressure washer on any part of the concrete, for you would turn the concrete white where ever you pressure wash. "A" driveway has oil spots and rust stains in all areas. I really was unsure what he actually wanted us to do. We never could have a professional conversation about what he expected from us. To end this response, we stand firm on the stains on the concrete at "A" has nothing to do with A Cut Above Tree Service or A Cut Above Tree Service's negligence. Also we where nothing but professional and speedy with our response to "A" complaint. Thank you

I called the company for an estimate to cut down an ash tree that was dying from emerald ash borer. Was told that someone would come out in a couple of days to give me an estimate. About two hours later, Mr. Jennings, the owner, stopped by with a partner and their truck to write the estimate. Although it is quite expensive to cut down a tree, his was the lowest estimate of the 4 I had gotten and when I asked when they could do the work, he said 'now' if I wanted. They were all done in about 45 minutes. He said someone would come by in a couple of days to grind up the stump. A different company that A Cut Above uses came by the next day while I was out and took care of the stump. I paid them separately. The stump wasn't ground very far below the surface so I decided to plant grass there and I planted a new tree off to the side.
Description of Work: Cut down large diseased ash tree in front yard, hauled away the tree, cleaned up the area.

THE OWNER/SUPERVISOR WAS ON SITE, PERFORMING MUCH OF THE WORK. HE AND HIS CREW DID A FAIR JOB ON TREE REMOVAL, BUT A VERY POOR JOB OF PRUNING TREES. HE LEFT DEAD LIMBS, CROSSING LIMBS, AND CUT BRANCHES IN ARBITRARY SPOTS, LEAVING STUMPS. HE LEFT THE JOB UNFINISHED AND RETURNED TO FINISH AT A TIME WHEN I WAS NOT HOME. I HAD TO CONTACT HIM LATER ABOUT FIXING SOME OF THE WORK, AND HE DID NOT RESPOND OR CORRECT THE WORK.
Description of Work: TREES AND SHRUBS WERE REMOVED AND "PRUNED". THE STUMPS WERE GROUND.
