ALLENBY TREE MOVERS & TREE

Allenby was recommended to me by former neighbors and I knew of the company. I had a hard time getting ahold of the company and getting them to show when they said they would which is typical of most cape cod contractors during spring and summer. I hired them to do the job and paid half before they started. We had trouble with extreme rain which caused the project to become delayed. I was pleased at first with the responsiveness once the job was started but we continued to have some delays as a result of the heavy rainl. Foolishly I paid the remainder of the bill prior to the job being completely finished. Allenby ran out of seed so some overseeding that was promised did not happened. By now it was quite hot and I followed the instructions to water 3 times a day and not let it dry out. This was a full time job but I did it faithfully for 2-3 weeks waiting for the seeds to germinate. There was some problem with this and water kept pooling in areas so I called Allenby and asked them to come take a look. I did not get a return call for at least 2 weeks and then Allenby did not show when he said he would and no call. There was also a portion of a tree still in my side front yard which he never removed. I ended up having someone cut it up to remove it. No matter how many times I called, Allenby did not return my call and NEVER returned to check the job or remove the tree. I have areas that pool with water and others that have completely washed out. Additionally, my yard is full of rocks and weeds from poor quality top soil. I trusted Allenby to not take advantage of me and he did exactly that. I gave him every possible opportunity to come and check out the state of the yard and he just ignored me. I was not asking for anything unreasonable-I wanted the tree removed and I wanted him to check out the drainage, rocks, and seeding effectiveness. I would not recommend this company's services to anyone.

Allenby Tree trimmed all the cedars and the holly trees; the results were exactly what we expected. Then for no extra cost Allenby's team proceeded to trim a hedgerow of forsythia bushes and suckered a medium sized Japanese maple tree. Clearly this was more than we anticipated and for that Allenby gets an A.
