Description of Work: Delivered mulch to my home. I ordered it in the morning and they delivered it by the afternoon. Dumped my order right where I wanted it. The delivery charge was less than other landscaping firms and the quality was just as good.

We had several quotes and Handley's had the best quote. They called and rescheduled earlier than expected and showed up within a few minutes of the time given. The guys worked through the rain (off and on), and completed the bulk of the removal the first day. They did return the next day and cut the last tree. It took several days for the full removal of the trees as well as the stump grinding, but overall they did a great job. T/hey were respectful of the lawn, neighbors and us. The cleanup was excellent and done as a section was done. Very impressed with their service.
Description of Work: They removed 14 evergreens, some over 50 years old.

She took my message and said David would call to schedule to come out but that he couldn't be out til at least Monday. That was a Thursday. I called again the end of the next week and she said and quot;the message must be here on my desk stilland quot; but she would let David know. I never did hear from David. It was a shame since we have purchased mulch there before and felt satisfied with that. We did call 4 seasons tree service the next week after still not hearing form David. They came the next day and did the job. A $800 loss to Handley but now my kiddos can go out and play safely. My original call was a month ago with still now return call from David.
Description of Work: I called to have someone come out to look at a lightning struck Maple tree to ask if it needed to come down fully or just have the damaged area trimmed. I explained it needed to be done very soon since it was in the my children's play area of the yard and there were broken limbs. At the very least it would have been a trim job but I was pretty sure the tree would need to come down.

These guys seem to offer the best price in the area. However, don't expect them to stick to a schedule. After you agree on the work, they just disappear and all communication stops. If you call, they really don't seem to have any idea what is going on. They come around when they have enough work in the area and show up with absolutely no warning (luckily I happen to be home the afternoon they arrived). They are a bit of a rough crew and they don't use the latest and greatest tools (truck seemed to be from the early '70s), but they get the job done quickly. The main crew didn't grind the stump. That was another guy who came by about a week later, also unannounced. Bottom line: they are cheap and do a good job, but you need to be patient to work with these guys. Don't use them if you are trying to stick to a particular timeline for your job.
Description of Work: Cut down medium size oak tree, cut up firewood, remove branches, and grind stump.

They were so good. All the work was done very well. The work was of good quality. The clean up was excellent. I cannot ask for more to have a tree removed. It was a fancy group of people who do tree work for me and they worked.

I called this service in the beginning of July to give me an estimate on taking down 2 trees on the driveway. They were in the neighborhood dealing with my neighbor's trees and thought it would be quite convenient to do my work at the same time. They first told me that the guys who take down the trees couldn't give me an estimate or use their equipment (which was down the street) to take down the trees. They promised to send someone and quot;authorizedand quot; to give me an estimate within the week. At the end of August I had still not heard from them or received an estimate . I received a phone call late in August all bright and chipper saying that they had received a call from me (not dated) and what could they do. I reiterated the situation to them and they said that the note on my call must have been misplaced until that day. I then asked that they come and give me an estimate on my trees. They said OK and I should have it within the week. It is now September 11th and I have not seen anything of them or gotten my estimate. I am definately trying another tree service!!!
Description of Work: They didn't do anything - that is the point

They were very professional and did a very nice job. They were extremely expensive but when we compared the prices to other tree services, they were pretty much right on line.
Description of Work: They removed some trees nearly 7 or 8 years ago.

They first provided an estimate for tree removal. As part of this, they requested that I obtain the next-door neighbor's permission to use his driveway for access, as it extended to an area quite close to the tree. On the day of the work, they arrived promptly at designated time, and removed the tree and stump very efficiently. They removed all branches and debris, and swept the area. They left no dirt or other evidence that they had even been on my neighbor's driveway. Overall it was an excellent experience and I would recommend them highly.
Description of Work: Removed a dead tree and stump in my back yard, which was close to the garage.
