All State's Tree Care

I was pleased with the results. They did what was asked of them, they were quick, and they cleaned up very well (including stacking wood, raking up debris and branch/leaf removal) and even provided some additional "added touches" I wasn't expecting. In addition, Dave Sawyer spent extra time with me giving me his thoughts & recommendations on some additional work I am undertaking myself (Japanese Maple trimming). I appreciated the insights and based on my experience, I would recommend them.

They did not complete the work as specified on the contract. They (John and one other person) were going door to door, trying to drum up business. I hired them to fell, cut up and stack a very large tree in my woods. They wrote up a contract, I signed it. They dropped the tree and then it got dark. I paid them (my mistake thinking they were trustworthy) and they left their trailer at my house over night. Next day they came back and cut a few pieces of the tree up, but not much. They said they needed to get a bigger saw. They haven't returned since and I still have this huge tree laying on the ground, uncut and unstacked. When I called, they kept telling me they were on their way, but then never showed up. Now they won't return my calls or texts. They're long gone.

Crew removed tree, carted off most debris and left stump (as agreed), however Crew did not adequately clean up debris and did not exercise caution with regard to damaging nearby trees and shrubs. Would not nire them again.

The guys were a little later than promised, but they were doing a house in the neighborhood so they squeezed us in anyway. They did a nice job, I was skeptical due to the poor reviews, but they were knowledgeable, reasonably priced and did an excellent job cleaning up after they were through.

Dave Sawyer owns Allstate Tree Care & Mulch. After arriving about 3 hours late, Mr. Sawyer?s crew cut down a large tree in my neighbor?s yard. Since my neighbor could not be there, I had agreed to be present. The tree did not fall in my neighbor's yard where they promised it would. Instead the tree fell into my yard just missing my garage. I asked Brian Kratz, the man who cut down the tree, what went wrong. Brian said 1) he should have used different equipment (come-along) and 2) he did not have enough people to pull the rope and 3) that he had gotten in a hurry. After they finished peeing on our driveway and throwing cigarette butts and empty coffee cups on the ground, the crew packed up and left. The left my neighbor's tree in my yard. This is a log more than eight feet in circumference and over 40 feet long. I phoned the business owner Dave Sawyer. I requested that he move the log off of my property. I assumed once the owner learned of this situation, that the log would be quickly moved. I did not really expect they would clean up the urine but hoped they might also remove their coffee cups and cigarette butts. It is worth noting that chopping the big log into smaller pieces and then rolling those pieces back into my neighbor?s yard would be a fairly quick job for a logging crew. To my surprise, the owner of Allstate Tree Care, Dave Sawyer angrily refused all responsibility. He suggested I should sue my neighbor. When I mentioned that I might rate him rather poorly on this site, he threatened me saying, ?Don?t forget that I know where you live.? When I reminded him that I was recording our conversation, with his permission, he hung up. I edited the profanity out of all quotes posted here. I hope writing this will help protect anyone thinking of doing business with Dave Sawyer or Allstate Tree Care or any business that is connected with Dave Sawyer.

Dave Sawyer is a con and rip-off. He over charged and did a very poor job. Con-artist!
