Work was not performed due to inability to confirm a work date.
Description of Work: I had trouble getting the provider to call me back; when he did he said he had been sick, which sounded like he was. The next time I talked to him he was confused about who I was and which property was involved. Apparently his discounted deal created so much business that he could not handle it. I just gave up and got someone else to do the work.

They arrived early and got right to work. They trimmed about 14 of our trees and pruned where needed. They took a lot of mistletoe out of one of our biggest trees. These trees are over our pool and they did a nice job of cleaning that up as well.

Left large tree cut up in large pieces on the ground, cut 3 small trees down but left 2-3ft stumps, charged an additional 600 dollars after arrival, owner or lead person brought his dog, owner or lead person asked me to sign a bond for a friend of his, left trailer loaded in yard for 3 days when originally he asked if he could leave it overnight. Had to call to get someone to come get the trailer. Workers were courteous but owner or lead person's behavior took any positive in this experience. This type of incident is why I chose to join Angie's list. I hope this isn't the kind of services recommended by Angie's list.

It was a bit of a challenge to setup, but once Terry showed up he took care of business. I gave Terry all the information, but he didn't contact the tenants for a couple of months. I was ready to call on someone else when Terry came out of left field to ask if I would still like him to do the job. Once at the premises he concluded that I underestimated the work to be done and we renegotiated the work and cost. Accepting Terry's professional tree trimming opinion, I ended up trimming a little more then I planned at first. I also hoped the cost would be a little lower, but overall the price was reasonable. Terry and his crew did a fine job in trimming the trees, cleaning the gutters and hauling away all the tree cuts.
Description of Work: Trim trees in two properties and clean the gutters.

I scheduled them to come out yesterday, but they did not call and did not show up. He called this morning and said he'd be here at 1 o'clock this afternoon. I changed my afternoon around. I called him when he was not here at the appointed time, with no answer. He finally answered his phone and said he was on his way. Then he changed his tune and said he needed a fresh start and he would be here in the morning. This is not acceptable to me and I do not want to do business with this company.

They did a fantastic job. They removed 10 small trees, and ground the stumps and they did this all in 3 hours. Then they went above and beyond and checked my yard for other stumps and ground those too. They cleaned up my entire yard, leaves and all.

Never showed up, no calls from Terry or anybody else. When I called to find out where his crew was, he said he's been too busy to get to my house or to call -- good for him, left me with a job that still needed to be done with absolutely no warning. Totally a waste of time to deal with this guy.

I am very happy with the work I got. The crew did a fantastic job at trimming and pruning. It was clear that they knew what they were doing. I am having huge and very old pecan trees in my yard and it was important for me that the trees were not butchered. TRhe price I paid does not include stump grinding but it is a small detail. They also did a very good job at cleaning up.
Description of Work: I bought one of the deals, a crew of 3 men for 8 hours of work for $800. I needed to have my trees trimmed and have several trees removed. Scheduling was easy and while they were about an hour late, they did call to let me know.

Called for an quote on Thursday afternoon. Owner came by later that day and gave what I deemed to be a reasonable quote. The trees were trimmed 2 days later on Saturday. I am pleased with the results and will likely use them again when the trees need to be trimmed again. The owner was genuinely concerned that I was happy with the results an their overall performance, which I appreciated.

I bought their $400.00 for $600.00 deals then cancelled it because I didn't know what $600.00 will cover. I had Terry come out to give me an estimate. He arrived promptly and agreed to do the job for $450.00. His two-men crew came two days later and spent more than 5 hrs trimming the trees. They did such a fantastic job, I'll certainly have them come back in the future.
Description of Work: trimmed 3 large live oak trees and 2 large red oak trees.

I am beyond thrilled with Early Bird Tree Service. Will definitely be using them again and again. Terry and his team were fantastic!!! Men of action. Terry came out last night and did an estimate and even cut the tree down before leaving to get a head start. WHe came back with his team and finished tonight. I don't know that the previous owner ever had the trees serviced. They had a great deal to do. Now they look incredible and keep up with the neighborhood standard. They even trimmed up some of the front bushes which was not included in the estimate. Very sharp looking and Terry also had a great deal of knowledge to share. I am definitely following his suggestions he provided to me. So glad I found them on Angie's List. Don't hesitate for one moment to call and have them come talk to you!!! They will be my go-to for certain!

I showed the contractor where limbs from my trees were rubbing on my neighbors' roof, understandably causing them some concern. Because time was of the essence (I needed the limbs trimmed back before any damage was done to my neighbors' roof), I asked if he would get the job done that week, and he said he would. When he hadn't shown up, emailed, or called by the end of the week, I both called and emailed him, asking what the problem was and when he intended to do the work. He PROMISED he would do the work by the following week. Thus began an ever-repeating pattern: he would promise to complete the work by a certain date, then would fail to show up (or call or email to let me know what was going on), I would call and email and finally get a response, whereupon he would PROMISE to do the work by the following week--but wouldn't. And on and on we went. Finally, even Angie's List was fed up with him and gave me my money back. THEN the guy showed up right before dark one evening and, with my assistance (I was literally operating one chain saw and he was operating another), we trimmed about half the limbs that needed trimming. By then it was pitch-black dark and he left (after putting in MAYBE an hour-and-a-half of work out of the four hours contracted for), PROMISING to return the next day to complete the job. He hasn't been seen since--and that was over two months ago. He did, however, send me an email, asking why I had "canceled my payment" after he had "completed the work." I replied that I didn't (Angie's List refunded my money before he did any work) and that he hadn't completed the work; he had only begun it. I also told him I would gladly repay the full $199 as soon as I received the full four hours of services I had contracted for. I guess he decided it wasn't worth the trouble because I haven't seen or heard hide nor hair of him since.
Description of Work: Contractor advertised that he would perform FOUR HOURS of tree-trimming services for $199--a reasonable price. The problem is that the guy didn't do what he said he would do. He responded fairly promptly initially, coming out to my house to review the job and promising to complete the job over the next two weeks. That's when the problems began.

I would recommend Early Bird Tree Service without hesitation. We were very satisfied with his work. After cleaning up all of the debris and branches, they removed everything so we do not have to call the city to pick it up. Our trees look wonderful and in addition we had "same-day" service. Their price was reasonable and they were very professional to deal with.
Description of Work: We hired Early Bird Tree Service to trim several trees in our yard. Additionally they trimmed some hedges which needed trimming. Following their work, they completely cleaned up all of the branches they had removed.

The cost was $190 over the Big Deal - because I asked them to do a lot more. They did a great job. Very professional. Prompt and responsive. The only improvement I would have liked is for them to fill in the hole left by the tree. They cleaned the yards well after there work. They even gave me some ideas for supporting the health of the other plants in my yard. I'd definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I asked the team to do more than the work covered by the big deal. The pruned the trees and bushes in the front yard. They pruned the bushes in the back. They also removed and large tree and a large bush (tangled inside a large bird cage). c

7-10-2014 Requested Dollar Estimate to mow lawn. I provided my email address to contact me. I provided great textual detail of area to be mown, what was to be done with links to satellite imaging of property. I was responded to via email same day. However, the email merely indicated to call them. They have sent me no other emails. It's been 8 days now. That was certainly not what I requested. They obviously don't want my business. They apparently expect the customer to work for them and not the other way around. That's very poor customer service. I'm surprised, considering that they had such a high average rating. Perhaps customers have been beaten down so much over the years that even poor customer service is regarded highly. It also tells me something about Angie's List as well. Perhaps one gets no better customer service as a result of using Angies List. The other two entities I contacted have not responded at all.

I had a great experience with Terry, the owner. He was taking down a neighbors tree and I stopped to ask him about trimming up some trees on my property. He was prompt, gave me a good quote and completed the work the same day. We even talked about things I should be on the look out for and a plan for the fall.
