We are very pleased with their work. The price is reasonable and they are conscientious in their work. They removed a large oak tree and pruned an ornamental pear tree

Poor customer service and poor communication with customer. Left our yard tore up; wrote on our invoice they would return to fix it but never did. Indicated they would remove all debris but left a hugh brush pile in our yard. When I contacted the company, I was told by Kristen, that these things were not part of the "deal" they gave us. So, if you would happen to hire this company, get everything in writing!!!!!! We view hiring them as a HUGH mistake & would NOT recommend them. Now we are taking on extra expense to fix the damage to our yard that they caused. So, if you think you're getting a good deal from this company; you're really not.
Response from Backwoods Logging & Tree Service, LLC
"It's very unfortunate that you were dissatisfied with our services. To point out, we are always open to feedback, good or bad, because no one is perfect and it's the only way to get better. With that being said, we will have to express our response. The project conducted and completed for you, as in the signed proposal agreement, was the felling and removal of two (2) dead ash trees (for an exceedingly good price). To hit on your points: communication did break down when there was no communication from you guys to our agency that there was dissatisfaction. Prior to this there was great communication as to when services would be completed, etc. After job completion, on August 2nd there was an email communication from Scott that your job was completed. The response from that was thank you and you would pay your balance ASAP. It was not until August 8, that an email was sent saying you were not happy with the condition of your yard and the brush pile you asked, at the time of your tree service, for moving or chipping. In this email you also expressed you already took the measures to fix the concerns with your lawn and would send in your payment but were writing to tell us how you felt. Response was then sent to you indicating we were unaware of your dissatisfaction, unaware that an employee of ours (who was no longer with our company) made promises to you for other items, we were aware of yard damage and did lay a large bag of grass seed and two (2) bales of hay for your yard, and the brush pile was already on the premises that you requested the cheapest option for you (move the pile or chip it) and we moved the pile for you at no additional charge. It was expressed to you that we would have chipped your brush pile for you at an additional expense but you wanted to do the cheapest thing for you thus we moved it. Everything that was in writing and agreed upon for your services was completed and you have still failed to submit your final payment for services. Again, it's unfortunate you were dissatisfied but we were unable to even have the opportunity to discuss or attempt to rectify any of your concerns. As was said in the email sent to you, it would be recommended that, in the future, when you have services completed and are not satisfied you should express those concerns in an effort to be discussed and/or remedied."

Backwoods logging cut down and completely removed a sizable pine tree for me. They did it at a fair price and did excellent work. They cleaned up after themselves nicely. I highly recommend backwoods logging.

Poor communication with customer. Did not return texts or phone calls and we didn’t know when they were coming. They didn’t show up when they said they would. However, their price was very competitive.

They came to do an estimate in a very timely manner. The estimator seemed very knowledgeable and personable. The cost was approximately 30% higher than the one other estimate I obtained. The tree I needed to have removed was very large and in danger of falling. It took a couple of months for them to return and actually remove the tree, which was quite worrisome during the waiting period. I was not home while the tree was being removed, however, my family and all of the neighbors raved about how hard working and pleasant the crew was. Because they needed a part for their stump grinder, it took another week or so until the stump was ground up, however, they left a huge pile of saw dust, approximately 2 feet high, 3 feet wide, and 5 feet long. I believe that as this company grows and acquires better equipment they will be a 5 star operation due to the great work ethic and knowledge they possess.

Josh & his crew worked hard all day trimming my trees and pulling out some shrubs and cleaned up the site before leaving. Very satisfied with work and would both recommend them and hire them again.

The work had to be done in a period when the weather was unpredictable. So they had to cancel several times due to bad weather (rain, snow ...). They showed up when the weather was good. And gave us a discount because of the cancellations. Props.

They did the work they said they would do on the day they said they would do it for the price they quoted. What more could you ask for?

I would hire this company again and again. They were punctual, extremely courteous and did excellent work. The only reason I didn’t give them a 5 rating is because I believe there is room for improvement in everyone.
