American Tree Specialists

Work was done quickly and efficiently. Workers responsive to input and acted in a professional manner for the whole job. I would use this provider again.

I wanted to have work done on a house that I own, contacted the company and they gave me an estimate. I wanted to purchase the service with one of my credit cards, and they told me that they only accepted cash or check. But they also told me that they would get back with me and let me know if they would accept it or not. After several times of trying to contact them, they finally contacted me back earlier today and told me that they would not accept my form of payment, that I was a "scam artist" and that I'm "under investigation". That really got me upset! How can I be a "scam artist" and be "under investigation" and nothing was even done? They really should know how to talk to people and treat potential customers. I wanted to post this review for others to know about this experience and how terrible it was.

Chris Pruitt knocked on our door one Sunday afternoon and asked if we needed our trees trimmed. He and his brother had a crew with him. We asked him if he would remove some crepe myrtles, including the roots. He said yes. When asked how he would treat the roots, he said he would cut down and remove to about 12 inches, then apply some chemical to r***** future growth and allow us to plant some new plants and shrubs. His estimate was $1,000, but gave us a $30 discount if we paid cash, which we agreed to do. We were too trusting and probably naive, but we allowed him to do it. He and his brother and crew did not trim the trees very good -- but worse than that, he did not pull up the crepe myrtles correctly. In 3 weeks we began to see new growth from them. When we called his number, he said he had another job in League City the next day and would stop by and fix the problem. He never showed up. When I called again, he never picked up his phone. Then, he got his phone disconnected. He is a dishonest businessman, and I believe he is operating under another business name. So, be sure to check if the landscaping and tree service business you use is run by Chris Pruitt. We also learned that he charged the man across the street only $300 for the same service (the difference being was the neighbor negotiated with him, and we didn't.) Never use this young man's service, unless you want to overpay and not get satisfactory service! We did not appreciate his dishonesty and unwillingness to correct the problem; we also think he was too high, but we were unaware of the cost of tree service. We will know better next time. Also, after he did the neighbor's home across the street, his truck broke down, and the trailer with all the tree limbs sat in our neighborhood for over a week.
