I already gave a detailed description of their services. I reason I am again writing is because after 3 years over an acre of my lawn has been totally rutted by his crews running over the lawn while removing trees. When I cut the lawn I am jarred and the mower is jarred. It will again cost me thousands of dollars to have someone come in and try to smooth out my lawn caused by this tree company treating my property like a logging operation. Mr. Friel was told of what was going on and assured me the lawn would be good as new. He not only lied about that to my face, but never finished the job. I had to hire someone else for 4000.00 to come in and finish but now am stuck with a lawn that is difficult and harmful to my mower and my back. this company is unethical and should never treat a customer this way. I gave Mr. Friel many chances to fix the problem and would have renegiotated price. He was not interested. I made the mistake of paying him in full and then he never showed up again.
Description of Work: cut down 12 large pine trees

Terrible, This company was here on and off to two months to remove the trees and in the process damaged my property. When I spoke to Paul Friel numerous times he assured me the lawn would be "fixed". I could not cut 1/4 acre out of the 2 acres of land I own all summer. The only time Mr. Friel came to the job site and to meet me was when he lied to me to get me to finish paying him, which I was dumb enough to do.
Description of Work: This company removed 12 large white pines from my property and did not finish grinding the stumps and in the process about a quarter acre of my lawn on two sides of my home were damaged. Debris, rocks and ruts were left and I had to hire another company to repairt the damage. This company was at the home for 2 months piece mill, not supervised, and Mr. Paul Friel promised to "fix" my lawn but never returned. I voiced my concerns during the course of the trees being felled and hauled away and was assured that "my lawn would be restored to it's original state". I was lied to and am currently seeking damages in court. I do not want this to happen to anyone else.
