Description of Work: Oak wilt treatment and tree removal

Description of Work: The crew cut down a large tree and ground the stump,. They also trimmed 5 large Live Oak Trees and an Aspen tree (to our surprise they also trimmed two Pecan trees in the front yard). They cut care to ensure that no infection would be present on the tree while cutting the branches so they sprayed it before and after they cut branches. They did an OUTSTANDING JOB of clearing out the cuttings.

Description of Work: repaired damage done when stump grinding done.

Description of Work: I had a tree stump removed by All Around Tree Care.

Description of Work: Live Oak Decline treatment on 26 trees; 10 trees removed including stump grinding; Delivery and planting of one tree.Jeff is a fast talker. He is quite friendly but if you choose to do business with his company make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing. The only price quoted and honored as expected was the written quote for Live Oak Decline treatment and tree removal. All other work verbally quoted had a way of changing, sometimes drastically. As an example, he quoted two different prices for tree delivery and planting in a conversation that lasted less than thirty minutes. This was in addition to a price for the same that he quoted a day earlier...making three different prices and services in all. Upon receipt of the bill, the price ended up being significantly higher. The prices quoted for fertilizer also changed. I was left feeling a bit worked over and pressured to commit to more Live Oak treatment on additional trees, which I declined. In the end, the prices kept changing and the final bill was not what had been quoted earlier. Like I said, he's a fast talker who gets carried away with the sound of his own voice. Make sure you get exact services and prices in writing or you will be disappointed in the end. Verbal quotes:Fertilizer: I was quoted $8.00/bag; I ordered and received eight bags and was charged $79.85 (a cost of $9.98/bag). Prior to paying for the eight bags, my son wanted some fertilizer and I requested four additional bags; No price adjustment was indicated; however, the four additional bags (which were not spread) ended up costing $100.00. That is quite a markup! Expected cost: $103.92 [$8.00/bag + tax 8.25% for 12 bags == 12 x $8.00 = $96.00 + $7.92 tax = $103.92] Actual cost: $179.85 [$13.845/bag + tax 8.25% for 12 bags == 12 x $13.845 = $166.14 + $13.71 tax = $179.85] Fertilizer marked up 73% Tree delivery & planting: I was quoted a price of $80.00 for specimen delivery and placement in a hole where a stump was to be ground. The following day when talking about the tree delivery and planting, Jeff stated to myself and my daughter that it would cost $50.00. When my daughter asked to verify that that was for the tree and planting, Jeff said, "Yes. We will do whatever you want." A little bit later he stated, "You can come pick out the tree or I can pick it out for you. We'll deliver the tree and plant it where ever you want it for $75.00." A very nice tree was delivered and just dropped off in the front yard. It was not planted that day as expected. That week was very windy and the tree blew over. I called the company and asked what needed to be done with the tree since it had not been planted immediately; "Should it be moved to the fenced in back yard & secured in an upright position?" Jeff instructed me to leave the tree as it was, on the ground in the front yard. Subsequently the tree deteriorated, was ravaged by deer and was not planted for several days. My daughter found this unacceptable and let Jeff know that a new specimen needed to be delivered and planted. This was done per her request. Jeff stated he did not want to plant it where a stump had been ground (which he had recommended and said he would do initially). Therefore, a new hole was dug, by the area where the stumps had been removed, and the planting finally took place. That being said, upon receipt of the bill the final cost for the specimen delivery and planting was $200.00 This was a markup of 167%
