LAWRENCES CORRECTIVE TREE

It went wonderful. Marc is a genuine nice guy. The final outcome was beautiful.

The removal of the trees went smoothly, and I have no issue with that. The problem for me is that Mark Lawrence does not stay on the property while the job is being performed. He sends a crew of workers to do the job, which I did not know. I feel that I had spent all of this time going over the job, and essentially he is not even here to oversee the work being performed. The crew completely ruined our Norway Spruce, and was completely aggressive with their cutting of it's limbs. We had to run out of our home and flag down the man doing the work, and get him to stop cutting. We asked that only low hanging branches (the ones touching our cars) be trimmed. The company completely ruined this tree, and changed the landscape of our yard forever. Our house, once full of privacy, is now completely exposed to the road. The workers said they thought that is what we wanted. We never expressed an interest in having our house completely exposed to the road. The beauty of this tree is completely gone, and we cannot get a response from Mark Lawrence. He sent someone to our house the very next day to grind the stumps from some of the other trees that were removed. They did this without even knocking on our door to say they were on the property. I feel that now that Mr. Lawrence has cashed his check, he is completely avoiding us. I regret paying him in the middle of the job, as he then left and the problem with the Norway Spruce occurred, and we haven't heard from him again. While I realize there is nothing that can be done for the tree, I am completely disappointed in this company, and wish I never hired Mark Lawrence. I have contacted him three times, and did not get a response. I also feel that the company left a mess of wood chips in the place of the ground stumps, even though we let them know we did not want any wood mulch. I did contact Mark to find out if they would clean this up, and I have not received a response.

The two young men that came to do the job were awesome. They did it the old way and climbed the pine cut that one then moved over to the oak. They cleaned up everything all in time for the next storm!

The bid was for $2400. Theirs was the highest of all the bids that I got. It was way out of line. It took them three days to call me back. I only interacted with them over the phone. To me it seemed like they were not interested in doing the work. I had no trouble getting five bids on one day except theirs. I did not use them. I eventually got the work done for $1800.

I was very concerned about the trees and large limbs over the house and driveway and was only waiting for one of those massive limbs to come crashing down on the roof. One massive limb broke off and crushed the wooden shed out back. The men worked with extreme diligence and professionalism, as well as the expertise associated with experience. I've had people remark how this has opened up the property and certainly removed the danger of structural damage to the house, as well as surrounding property and structures. I had them leave the wood for me and have gotten 8 cords out of it.

They cut down one very large and 2 medium-sized trees in urban back yard. Very efficient, no damage to surrounding structures. They also dug out the stump of one of the trees. Did little extras while they were here, like cutting back some branches on other trees.

I REALLY LIKE THE WAY THAT THE COMPANY IS RAN. THEY WERE VERY PLEASANT TO BE AROUND. THEY DID EXACTLY WHAT THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO. THEY ALSO SHOWED UP WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO.
