They started the job 2 years ago, doesn't return calls. Calls go to message, which are never returned. They did half the job. I haven't paid them a dime yet, glad of that because now I have to hire a lawyer to have the contract broken and give them less than half after removing lawyer fees.
Description of Work: Remove three trees, grind stumps, clean up debris from job. Never completed after two years.

Didn't complete job. Left before we could do a walk through to make sure it all looked good. Several areas weren't grinded down far enough. Completely missed one of the stumps he was supposed to remove. Been told multiple times he'd come finish them just to no call no show. Now just Completely been blown off. Had several friends I had to pull my recommendation from. Really tried to work with this guy and.give.him all the time he needed but.no communication and poor work. Communication seems to be the reoccurring issue. Had he just forgot or been unable to come and reschedule would've been fine. I get it, I'm reasonable. But multiple times not showing up or texting back is unacceptable

Check the BBB’s F rating of Chris and Alley’s Tree Service along with how many complaints have been filed against him before you plan to use him ([*** Link removed ***] Chris came out and was very thorough with his quote ($1600 for pruning two tall oak trees in backyard without bucket access), resulting me in choosing Alley's even though they were higher priced than 2 other quotes I received. I called and talked to him about scheduling our job which he said he had to look at his calendar and get back to me on. After a couple of days, I followed up via email and then received an email confirming our scheduling. My wife took off work to be home for that day but Chris never showed up. We called both the cell and office lines multiple times, texted, and emailed that day and the following days with no response. Completely unprofessional and I'm severely regretting not going with one of the lower quotes that would've actually completed the work. Not sure how he runs a successful business wasting time giving free quotes for jobs he's not going to do. Look elsewhere.

Company was great returning my call and scheduling an estimate the very next morning at 9:00 am. The Sales Rep was very professional and friendly when reviewing the job and was promised that we would have an estimate by the end of the day. Not only did we not receive the estimate, Alley's never returned my email follow up request, nor did they return my follow up call. Basically, they wasted an hour of my time on a Saturday morning. Will not call this company again.

Couldn't say, they never showed up to perform the work. An agreed upon date and time was scheduled yet the company never showed up. Tried calling several times to see if they were just running late, but they never answered my phone calls. After a few tries they sent the calls straight to voicemail.

This was the second time I used this service. The first, last year, they cut up and removed a tree which had fallen. In that instance, the workers did not want to remove the portion of the trunk in the flower bed and extending to the base, behind a hedge, although I thought that was included in the contract. They finally removed the trunk far enough back into the hedge so that the remainder is hidden from view. The last time, Chris had once again given me an estimate to complete work and, when the workers arrived, they argued with me about what was to be done, including obscure definitions of what a main branch means, and the "foreman" wouldn't look at the written estimate. When the work was complete, instead of the eight large branches I thought were to be removed, only two plus two dead and already broken off "branches" were removed; the largest, heaviest branch remained. The tree's lean increased following a week-and-a-half of rain and we decided to have it removed completely due to safety concerns. I left messages at the office and on Chris' voicemail, hoping he would come out and provide an estimate and, after discussing what had happened previously, charge a tad less than others might. Chris, nor anyone else, has ever called back and we had another tree service remove the tree last week.

Response from ALLEY'S TREE REMOVAL
As always, Alleys Tree takes all of its reviews seriously. I remember [Removed Member name] well, as we have been out to his property several times. All work was completed per contracts and we never receive payment until all work is completed and satisfactory. The last time we provided services for [Removed Member name] was March of this year when he was noting upheaving of the root collar on his Oak tree. We did an assessment and recommended that the tree be removed on Feb 9, 2015. [Removed Member name] noted that he would like to keep the tree and were there any options such as reducing the weight of the crown available or adding additional soil on the root structure. We took that into consideration and explained that additional topsoil would have no affect on the stability but it is possible to reduce weight of the crown in an attempt to prevent as much drag as possable and lean of the tree. When our crew showed up, they provided the work that was listed on the job sheet which says specifically remove two main branches, 1 dead branch and 1 branch to the right and thin out as well. The climber made the cuts and the crew removed the debris and raked the yard. As to how much of the top was thinned out I am not sure of, as all workers and [Removed Member name] are on the ground 120 ft below the crown of the tree. Alleys Tree trusts the expertise of its climbers. They are trained and follow the International Society of Arborculture guidelines and remove any dead wood and non viable branches to protect the health of the tree. At the completion of the job I received no calls as to any disagreement or understanding of the contract and payment was made in full. We noted in writing that the root collar and tree was upheaving and exposed and that we cannot guarantee that the tree will not fail due to wind or storm damage. The follow up to his last delimma about not being able to reach us I am not sure of. We talked to [Removed Member name] early in the summer months, approx late May or early June and he had made comments that the tree was still upheaving and getting worse and would like a quote. [Removed Member name] was going to do some traveling and said he would contact us when he got back. That is the last time we can recall any contact with him. We are not perfect, but feel this is unwarranted, as we have done two separate jobs for [Removed Member name] and they were pleasant and never said anything to the contrary to me about being dissatisfied and if he was why would he call us back. My apologies if he feels that we did anything wrong but my notes show we did everything as contracted to.

They were all professional, nice to work with and friendly. Had a little accident on their last day on the job. They knocked down our custom cedar fence with a huge runaway section of the 60 year old tree. We had our carpenter/builder come rebuild the sections of the fence We paid him for his work, then when I paid Chris for his company's work, I itemized the bill, showing the deduction for Mr. Peterson's (Mi Familia Construction) rate and materials. I would definitely recommend Alleys to others! Everyone makes mistakes, and it's not easy directing a 5' by 3' section of oak tree to the ground from 30 feet up in the air.

They did an excellent job. A few days later, we had a huge wind storm and I was so happy we had agreed to the crown cleaning. I talked to 4 other companies and Alley's quoted the lowest price. I have recommended to several people.
Description of Work: Cut down and stumped a 55-foot pine and a 20-foot magnolia. Removed several large branches and did a crown cleaning on a 50-foot oak, removed a large branch from another tree, and removed two more stumps. They hauled away everything and swept my sidewalk where there was lots of debris.

They are good and they a good job. They do some landscaping and cut the grass. I was also very pleased with their landscaping too. They upgraded what I had already had and made it look nice. I have been using them for about 9 months. They come out every week for me.

They were very professional. We first contacted them about 2 months prior to get a free estimate. Once we knew the details from our contractor on when they were able to start for our room addition we called them the week before and they honored the estimate and had no issues with getting us scheduled in for when we needed.They showed up on time and worked all day to get the job done. It took 12 hours from start to finish, due to some technical issues they had with some equipment but they got it fixed and finished the job. We also had a slight issue with not being able to have a car moved on a neighboring property due to the short time frame I had to get the job done before my contractor started but they worked around it and made it happen. They also made sure that all the roots where the addition was going were not an issue and were gone. Would hire them again.
Description of Work: We had an enormous Silver Maple tree cut down, stump grinded, and all debry removed.

It went great price is right for everything we are asking. The removal of the tree,stump,chips, fill the hole with top soil, and trim and clean another tree in the front of the house. After work is done I will post another review. Without asking he showed me license and insurance papers. If things go as well as it did today I will recommend him to anyone that will listen.

Meant to post this awhile back and noticed I did not give feedback. Met with Chris for quote (also received quotes from other's on Angie's List) and felt the price was reasonable for the amount of work to complete. Although the yard was regularly mowed, due to illness, the yard needed a lot of work and shrubbery either cut back or removed. Also talked to him about removing a couple of trees. Needless to say, they were very punctual and stayed all day to get the yard back in shape. They cut down the trees and carted everything away. It still looks good and I would highly recommend them!
