My wife and I went on Home Advisor and searched for a company in the area to remove a large Chinese Tallow or **Popcorn Tree** from my neighbors backyard. My neighbor and I share a backyard privacy fence and this tree was growing right on the property line along the fence dumping a major portion of its annual florals into my yard and pool from the overhanging branches. It just got to be too big and was growing too fast to keep up with annual pruning so I asked the neighbor if I could pay to have it cut down and she agreed. Jason, owner of C and J Asphalt Resurfacing and Tree Service, responded to the Home Advisor alert and came out to the house, looked over the work that needed to be done, and after explaining his process and getting my neighbors permission to proceed, gave me a quote that we agreed to. The work required cutting down and disposing of 1 x large Chinese Tallow tree. Jason and his crew arrived at my neighbors house on the morning of Tuesday, March 16, 2021, and got straight to work. They completed the work in approximately 4 hours -which was to be expected given the size of the tree and its proximity to surrounding houses and properties. They even trimmed some of my neighbors bushes next to the tree as a courtesy. Surprisingly, after they cut the tree down, instead of loading up all of the tree debris into a truck or trailer and hauling the debris to the local dump as was agreed to, Jason decided to cut the tree up and put most of the debris in my neighbors front yard at the street and the remaining portion of debris in front of my house at the street. When I got back from my business trip and saw first hand what Jason and his company had done, I contacted him and asked why he did this and he lied and said that he called and arranged for the city or county to pickup the debris on Thursday, March 26 the following week or no later than Thursday, April 1 or just two weeks after the tree was cut down. Jason said he decided to split the debris pile into two so that the company contracted out by the county, in this case Waste Pro of Santa Rosa County, would pick up the debris without charging extra instead of the added time, effort, and expense of disposing of it himself. In reality, the call to Waste Pro was never made. After weeks of repeated calls and text messages trying to get Jason and his company to honor his agreement and remove the tree debris from my neighbors and my front yard, and after repeated promises that he would take care of it or do it himself, he stopped responding and we ended up having to pay an additional $500 to have a different contractor finish the job and remove the tree debris. Its now Tuesday, May 4th. Its been 50 days today and while the tree debris has been picked up from in front of my house, we are still waiting for the third party contractor we hired to pick up the debris from in front of my neighbors. This should have never happened. C and J should have removed the tree debris the day they cut the tree down. If you are considering hiring C and J Asphalt Restoration and Tree Service, you need to check your calendar and see how much of your valuable time you are willing to give up waiting on Jason and his crew to finish the job they agreed to, because the only time Jason and his company, C and J Asphalt Restoration and Tree Service, seems to value the most, is his own!
