K & B LANDSCAPING & TREE SERVICE

We had to have 4 old, large trees removed from a part of the yard difficult to reach. Bob Gilligan looked over the area, gave me an estimate, and showed up on the second date agreed upon (the first was cancelled because of a snowstorm). He brought the equipment and men, and work efficiently. The work was done in short order, and the cost was the original estimate. We're very pleased.

We originally only wanted the beds cleaned up, edged and mulched but owner Bob Gilligan lobbied hard that just about all of our shrubs & bushes needed to be trimmed (can you say upcharge?). Ok...fine, I get it that he's got a minimum project fee that he wants to hit. Trimming was completed without a problem, but when I got home the day of the job I found that a third of the beds were untouched and I had a big pile of mulch sitting in my back yard. I figured that they had just quit for the day and would be back the next to finish. Nope...when I finally called a few days later to ask when they were coming back to finish, Gilligan told me his guys had decided the beds were more work than they had expected and they were finished. And in fact he was ****** that I hadn't already paid his invoice. Tried to be reasonable but he was incredibly unprofessional and threatened me by saying "I know everyone in this town...how will you look when I start telling all your neighbors you don't pay your bills". ***!?!? Trust me...unless you are a Beverly "townie" that went to high school with Gilligan, find another company. Unfinished jobs and drama queen antics don't make for repeat customers. service was unbelievably bad and unprofessional.

I called this company because I saw them doing work for the house across the street. I left a voice message for them to call me back about doing some tree trimming and they never returned my call.
