We love our new patio! The entire team was helpful and courteous. JD provided insight and sketches that provided a finished concept that we could not picture on our own. We had a couple of minor issues that were quickly and professionally addressed right away. Everyone on this team clearly cared about the quality of their work. I'm a very particular person and am very happy with the way this project went.

Ballard Enterprises where professional and timely. They made sure that I was taking care of even when we had a miscommunication they were quick to resolve it. They came out and did a great job on my two stumps and now I will probably get additional services from them since I noticed they have trees which I would like to get planted in place of the old ones. I recommend this company to Angie's List members.

I called Ballard and the lady who answered was very nice and helpful. She told me when someone could be out to provide an estimate (1 business day). The person came out and left a written estimate for me. I then had to wait a few days for another vendor to provide me another estimate. Ballards estimate was $25 higher than the second estimate (with AL discount) but their response time and communication made me feel more comfortable using them. I sent the estimate back to Ballard via email. They called the next morning and we scheduled the time for the work to be completed. They came on the scheduled day. Cut and removed the limb from the shed. They then removed all of the wood from the yard. They left or sent a paper invoice and also sent one electronically. I paid with a credit card online. From my perspective the work went off without a hitch. As stated earlier, they got the job because of their quick response and clear communication during each step in the process. They also provided a $100 Angies List discount.

The tree had insects on it, and it was a nutrient efficient. It worked very well, and saved the tree. It just one guy, and he was an excellent worker.

It was very easy working with Ballard Enterprises. They were helpful and very truthful. Our tree was close to power lines so BGE had to get involved. Ballard was very upfront and told us this would cause the work to be delayed. We understood and were patient. The hold up we had with our job was from BGE not from Ballard. As soon as BGE cleared us for the work to proceed Ballard was there. The tree came down and was cut into pieces in just a few hours. The next day they came back to grind the stump.
Ballard's price for all this work was more reasonable than any other company we contacted. We are very pleased with the work Ballard did for us, and we will certainly use them again.

We had a large pine tree fall in our yard, and it was time to trim the other trees, so we purchased an Angies List deal, $1799 for 8 hours of tree service. When the arborist came out to assess the work, my husband could readily tell that he knew what he was doing, unlike the last company we had hired. The crew arrived on the agreed upon date and worked despite rainy weather, until it was too dangerous to continue. They came back about a week later to finish their 8 hours. They did a very good job. We paid an extra $250 to have the stump of the fallen tree ground up. We still have some trees that the crew was unable to get to during their time, but definitely plan on having them come back.

"Sir: You signed a contract with us on 4/14/16. Your contract said 30 days before we would start the work, because that was our current backlog. That was explained to you on the day the contract was given. On 4/28 at 1:13pm (according to our computer system that is tied to our phones) we informed you that you were scheduled for May 3. You said that was great and you were happy it was being done before you left the country on 5/7/16. On May 2, you called us and asked us to delay the project until your return, which we happily did. We scheduled the work for 6/3 at your request and completed it on that date."

Ballard was awesome! We needed a very old, and large maple tree removed. It was dying from the inside. The limbs and branches hung over into the neighbors yard and were intertwined in the electric lines and the neighbor's pine tree. We also needed the work completed before having a new shed built the next month. Ballard was not only able to complete the work the next week, but they also coordinated with Miss Utility and BG&E beforehand. Everything went so smoothly. It was incredible. The crew was very professional and cleaned everything up spotless. We asked for them to also remove a large portion of the tops of some overgrown bushes and also to plant a dogwood tree. Everything turned out better than expected and the 6 foot dogwood is now flowering and looks very healthy. Ballard Enterprises is really a one-stop-shop. I think the most shocking part was that they did not ask for a deposit beforehand. We were told that we only pay when the work is completed and done to our satisfaction. That was a very pleasant surprise and shows in the company's confidence and ability to do a great job. I plan on calling them to do some landscaping in the front yard in the near future.

First appointment was rescheduled due to inclement weather. Rescheduled service was delayed on day of appointment as the company had a priority call prior to our appointment. Crew was professional and friendly. Original appointment was to have the canopies of two trees trimmed. When the crew arrived and assessed the trees, they informed that one tree had shallow roots and made an offer to take the tree down and trim the canopy on the other tree. The company's Arborist who made the initial visit earlier in the month to determine the estimate cost also mentioned that at some point the tree would most likely have to come down due to shallow roots. There was an increased cost to take the tree down which made sense as it wasn't included in original estimate. We made the decision to take the tree down. The crew did a good job and were very thorough in make sure we were happy with the job they had done. They did a good job of cleaning up the debris from the yard. We would hire them if future work needed.

I took advantage of Ballard's 4 person 8 hour two truck (brush and chipper) offer. The assessment of the property and seven trees was done very well by the company. He mentioned that there was quite a bit of work but it could be completed in the allotted time. To save the workers time I offered that many of the large pieces could be left on the property but the brush would need to be removed. This statement and all identified work was clearly documented in the contract. Just to make sure both trucks would be provided I called two days ahead to confirm the fact. The workers arrived on time but only with one materials truck because the truck manager thought the contract said all materials could be left on site. Only after communicating with Mr. Ballard was the problem resolved. One of the workers had to leave to return with the chipper truck. I was promised an additional 45 minutes to the contract to make-up for the lost support. The three best trimmers remained and started work. Getting the second truck took longer than expected and the full crew was not on site until after two hours had passed. Once everyone was working the crew performed like a well oiled machine. The quality and professionalism of the workers was unquestioned. Unfortunately the late start and the 95 degree temperatures wore h****** the crew. As the "normal" stop time neared and with no announcement the crew started final clean-up with two trees still to go. We had to firmly confront the team lead that we still had time on the contract. We got one additional tree removed but did not get the full expected work from our agreement. This was a communications and management issue that caused these problems from the start. Unfortunately the innocent (the customer and the workers) were the ones who suffered.
Response from Ballard Enterprises - Lawn, Landscaping, Tree Services
"Sir: Thank you for taking the time to leave a fair review. I just wanted to clarify a few points. A time based offer NEVER has a guaranteed scope of work; it is simply an "hourly" rate. Of course we work as hard and fast as we can to get as much done as we can in the allotted time. Also, the original contract identified 4 trees that we would target during the allotted time, not 7. I'm glad that we were able to get 6 completed. Lastly, we did not bring the chipper because in the contract it reads verbatim: "leave all material in woods". Upon your request to only leave the larger material, we sent for the chipper and added additional crew hours to the end of the job at no additional charge. Overall, I'm glad that you had a positive experience. We sincerely appreciate your business and hope that was reflected in our attempts to go above and beyond to satisfy your requirements. Thank you again."
