Dear Member, Thank you for your review of our tree work. We hope that we can do tree work for you again in the future. Please note that we also have a Plant Health Care division that can do feeding or insect control if your shrubs or trees need help. The gypsy moths were bad last year along the Rte. 80 corridor to Oakland last year so we'll see if the moths come our way. All of our estimates are free, so whenever you'd like us to take a look just give us a call. Sincerely, Pieter Slump

Description of Work: I purchased 5 cu yd of "premium" much through an offer on Angie's list. Scheduling the delivery was very easy and the mulch was delivered appropriately. I have purchased premium mulch before at about 30% more so I knew what the approximate price should be and what quality to expect. Unfortunately, the mulch was of a very inferior quality. Did I get what I paid for? Probably for inferior mulch. But this was not the "DEAL" that I was expecting. Premium is Premium. It's not what I received. Beware of Vendor Deals on Angie's list. Second time I've been disappointed based on Price vs. Value delivered ratio. My experience is there's a lot of bait and switch.

Dear Member, I apologize for the fact that you were disappointed in the quality of the mulch. Is there anything we can do at this point to fix the problem? I see that you got the delivery in the beginning of August. Did you reach out to us at the time about your quality concerns? We are always interested in addressing customer complaints in a timely manner. I hope that you called in and gave us the opportunity to make you a satisfied customer. I can be reached at 973-238-9800 ext 112 if you'd like to go over this. Sincerely, Pieter Slump Downes Tree Service
