Orion Tree Service

Gabe and his crew could not have been better. They took down a giant oak tree that could have been a real problem for the two houses it grew between in one day. They did a great cleanup and were all gentelmen. The pricing was very fair and my wife and I were very pleased with the professionalism they showed, not to mention their expertise. If you need any kind of work done regarding landscaping and removal don't hesitate to call this man...just terrific all around ! Mike and Anne, Binghamton, NY

Gabe and his crew from Orion did a fantastic job. Very wet period of time so they had to work around the weather. Trees removed and stumps ground on two of them. Very satisfied with his work. I even offered him a partial payment as they waited out weather for third tree and he would not accept until job complete. I would hire again absolutely.

They did a great job. They took out the dead and dying, and cleaned up the site.

Someone came out to look at the large oak tree that is on our neighbors property that hangs over our house. We had peremission from the neighbor to have it trimmed up and this was something we were definitely getting done ASAP. Come to find out, the owner of Orion sent his father out to look at the job because his wife had just had a baby. Understandable, but the father was able to give me little, if any information about the job. I did not receive a written estimate but I was told that he would pass the information on and his son would contact me. As he left our property I heard him talking on the phone with his son (as he walked to his car) and it sounded as if he didn't want to do the job. Needless to say, we never heard back from Orion Tree Service and as a result we spent 1K on tree removal with Cooks Tree Service.

Systematically dropped the tree safetly to the ground. Can't even tell the tree/ stump was there. Cleaned up backyard, leaving no mess behind. Would highly recommend. Very professional.

They were prompt and did a good job and clean up. My only problem is that the stump and roots were not ground down enough for the new tree to be planted.

They were great from start to finish.

Would recommend if you want affordably and quick.

It was an excellent experience. It took me all spring and summer to build this brush pile from seven trees that were storm-damaged. It was huge. I e-mailed them for help at http://oriontrees.com/ . They responded within hours. We set up a time for an estimate. They showed up on time. They gave us an acceptable price and time to do it. They showed up on time and within hours, my huge brush pile was gone. They also gave me some pointers on how to build a better brush pile in the future. One that would be easier for them to handle and for me to build.

A great experience. Came right over for the estimate which was less than 1/2 of my other estimates. On time for appointment and finished in a few hours. And this was a huge tree! I highly recommend.

he droped the tree and missed the wires and house

My neighbor's mother had used this service and was very happy with the results. I contacted them and arranged to meet at my home. We discussed the job and they give me an estimate. Work was completed on time and at the agreed price. Gabe, the owner, was very polite and professional. Will use them again.

Ok, so the above information started it all, so I won't restate the situation here. Basically what happened afterwards was this: Gabe was to come by a week ago (the week of 5/5/08) to begin the work of removing the tree and shrubs from my property; work was to be completed that following weekend when he stated he would come to grind the stumps. Gabe called me on the evening of May 7th (Wednesday) to state that he had not been able to get over here to remove the trees, but that he would "be by in the next day or so" and reiterated that he would be here on the weekend to grind the stumps. On Monday, May 12th around 9am, I contacted Gabe as I had not heard from him Thursday-Sunday, nor had he come by to remove the tree and/or shrubs as he'd previously indicated. At this point (Monday morning), Gabe couldn't seem to remember who I was or why I was calling at first. Then his mind cleared and he recalled my location and stated he was "by the house last week to take a look at the shrubs" and that he would "lose money by doing it for the price" he quoted. So rather than call me to say that, he evidently decided that he'd just rather lose a customer. I'd have been understanding about the fact that the shrubs were described (accurately, by the way) over the phone and that the quote for them wasn't necessarily set in stone. But he didn't even call me, nor did he show up, and I had to make arrangements for someone to be at the house Thursday and Friday to sign the contract for me as I work 45 miles from home, so this was an inconvenience to me and to the family member I asked to be here during the day should he "stop by" to do the work. Overall, Gabe Fletcher's attitude about his work and his "free estimates" is far too lackadaisical for my taste. He couldn't be bothered to communicate issues with me, after I'd agreed to hire him to do the work. His "free" estimate cost me a week of inconvenience and I'm highly dissatisfied with his (lack of) service.
