Description of Work: They didn't DO anything. I found their assessment relatively worthless. I was concerned about the health of my tree-they offered nothing to improve its health. They wanted to prune it. I could have gotten pruning service from anyone. I wanted to improve its health. Seemed like I paid $79 bucks to be solicited for pruning services.

Response from Ballard Enterprises - Lawn, Landscaping, Tree Services
Dear Customer: On January 23rd, 2015 (A full year before leaving this review) you purchased a verbal tree health and risk assessment. On that same day, we responded to you and set an appointment for Jan 30, which was 5 business days later, based on your availability. On January 30, an ISA Certified Arborist from Ballard Enterprises visited with you between 3:30-4:30pm. At that time, the arborist provided a ground-level, visual inspection and assessment of the tree and it was determined that the health of the tree could be improved by pruning. Nothing else was recommended at that time. My apologies if you found this assessment to be inadequate. Even though, it has been a full year and this review is the very first that I'm hearing about your concerns, I'd still be happy to try and resolve them to your satisfaction. Please feel free to contact me, Tim Ballard, at 410.721.3066. Respectfully and Sincerely.

Description of Work: Removed a significant limb (one of five growing from the base) that had died due to lightning. Removed smaller dead branches from the rest of the tree also killed by the lightning strike. They did an excellent job being careful not to remove any parts of the tree that still showed signs of life.

Description of Work: They came by in November to give me a estimate on trimming the tree in my front yard ($600), but we had to wait till after Thanksgiving to have the work done. They came on 12/14/15 to do the job, they were on time and did a very professional job. The one major branch they had to remove, they tied it off with ropes and cut it up in sections which greatly lessened the chance of damage. Over all a very good experience.

Description of Work: I bought a $199 stump removal deal on 7 Jul 2015. I had used this company before to cut down a tree and grind a stump. On 29 Jul I received an email from Ballard Enterprises, asking for a phone number. They left a phone message for me, I returned the call on 31 Jul, asking if I could use the stump grinding deal to remove a dead bush from my rental property. They said yes. I asked if I needed to be present for the work to be done. They said no, and that they would fit in my job when they were in the area. They emailed me a contract, which I responded to by email. |The bush was still there on 28 Aug, but gone on Sunday, 31 Aug, so I assume it was removed 29 or 30 Aug.

Description of Work: The original arborist who came out gave me information for the trees and where they can be cut. The second rep who came out that did the actual job told me that one of the trees that I wanted trimmed couldn't be trimmed. They couldn't climb the tree to trim it because the roots were loose but they did cut it. I was given different information for the trees but the job was completed.

Response from Ballard Enterprises - Lawn, Landscaping, Tree Services
Thank you for taking time to leave us a review. On 6/24 we visited your property, inspected your trees, and wrote a contract that stated that we were to prune three trees. When we arrived on 7/31 to perform the work, one of the three trees had partially uprooted since our original visit. This made the tree a high risk to life and property, so we recommended to remove it instead of prune it. We provided a fair price for the change to the scope of work, which you agreed to prior to starting the work. I'm truly sorry that you ended up loosing your tree and that we had to be the ones to deliver that bad news. However, removing the tree was the appropriate thing to do given the hazard associated with leaving it standing. Again, we thank you for your business. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me directly at 410.721.3066. Tim Ballard - CEO

Description of Work: The company is still going to perform services for me, but the deal did not match well what I need, as it turns out. Paul Fox, an arborist with Ballard, came to my house to see what I need and provide estimates on July 22. He explained that I need some of the service provided by the Big Deal, but most of my needed services did not fall under the Deal...so I would do better, financially, if I just contracted for the services that I needed. I do not have enough work covered by the Big Deal to use the whole offer. I want to cancel the deal but keep the company!

Description of Work: He was very professional but since he was my first estimate, I do not know if the price was too high or not. I did not know the tree was dead and has to be removed. The cost was much more than I expected and not in my budget at this time.

Ma'am: Thanks for the opportunity to bid on your tree service needs. I realize that sometimes tree work is a considerable and unplanned expense. Please remember that we do offer a best price guarantee against all legitimate competitive bids and we also offer interest-free financing. Thanks again for the opportunity!!!

Description of Work: Bought the Big Deal in April and it took two months for them to come out. Fast and professional about the estimate and work done. However, being made to wait until they said they had another job in the area for them to deliver service just isn't worthy of A rating due to customer service.

Dear Ma'am: We received your signed contract on 5/30/15. The contract clearly states that the work was to be completed within 30 days. We completed the work at your property on 6/24/15, a full 6 days ahead of our deadline. I'm sorry that it took us a little over three weeks to get to your job, but this is the very busiest time of the year for us and you were informed of our backlog, in writing, prior to hiring us. I believe that is unfair for you to falsely say that it took us two months, when the truth is it took 24 days. Lastly, while we do try to keep our travel time and expense to a minimum by doing multiple jobs that are in close geographical proximity to each other, that is not the only criteria that is used when scheduling your work. Generally, we schedule customers on a first-come, first-serve basis unless there is a legitimate emergency that threatens life or property.

Dear Sir: My apologies that the first available appointment that was convenient for you was 6 days from the time of your call. We do offer appointments morning, day, and evenings 7 days a week. I would like to add that we arrived at the scheduled appointment (a date/time that you chose) on time. Also, the estimate you received was free and you were under no obligation to contract us for the work. We are fully licensed and insured and offer a best price guarantee against all legitimate competitive bids. I understand that the work may cost more than you anticipated, but again, you were under no obligation to hire us to do the work.
