James Ryan Landscaping and Complete Tree Service

I gave Jim the price he asked for even though it was $500 for a $300 job (dethatching less than 10,000 SF of lawn. He said he was coming with two men and himself and hand rake (no macnine). He arrived by himself with a man older than me (I am 77) who was hardly capable of the work. His men were on another job. After a short 7 hours and it was raining he said he was done and I paid him. I later found that about 1/2 the lawn was well raked. I told him of my displeasure but he told me it was good enough and "every square inch has been raked". Never offered to come back and look at the job with me. I ended up doing the worst spots myself.

James was one of the few tree contractors who replied to our quote request, and the only one to make a firm and fair offer. James provided us with very good communication on how he was going to trim two of our trees and remove a third one which was not able to be saved. He came back to do the stump grinding within a couple of days, and also cut the tree that we could later split and burn the wood for our fire pit and fireplace.

The workers for James Ryan damaged my pool equipment. A tree limb fell and cracked a pvc plumbing line to the filter assembly. The worker denied doing the damage but eventually owned up and said he would have to pay for it. James Ryan said he is an honest businessman and would pay for the repair. He gave me $50.00 in cash and said he would pay any additional amount once the repair was completed by Aquavita Pools. I sent him a copy of the invoice to show him the total cost was $237.00. I have not received the additional money after waiting for three weeks. He has yet to prove he is an honest businessman.

Very responsive to inquiries about trees, bushes, clean-up etc.

Trimming of the trees and removal was completed timely and the clean up was great.

I will be calling him for all my tree service needs.

The trimming of one tree and the removal of the second tree was completed okay. Clean up was done. The fee charged was great.

I hired this company for two seasons in a row. I gave them a second chance and I had hopes of improved service. I was constantly charged for cuts that did not occur; it was an ongoing battle to have the invoices corrected (which they never were). The owner blamed it on his secretary. The first day they cut my lawn, the crew unnecessarily removed my 6 wide gate and placed it back on, backward. Believe it or not, it was a battle just to have the crew show up and provide the services that Mr. Ryan promised as a maintenance service. ONE DAY THEY MISSED MY CUT COMPLETELY BECAUSE THE CREW ACCIDENTALLY CUT MY NEIGHBORS LAWN INSTEAD. BTW, NONE OF MY NEIGHBORS HAD A FRESHLY MOWED LAWN THAT DAY. From my perspective, it seemed like a deliberate strategy of excuses, when they really just took on more jobs than they could fulfill with the size crew he hired. Could it be that the crew reported cutting my lawn every week when they really had not. It is possible. Either way, lesson learned - do not always take the lowest quote, because you get what you pay for (or in this case, I was asked to pay for what I did not get). I wish I could upload the multiple text messages with the owner to show just how lax they really were (at least with me).

Did not trim as much off the holly trees as I would. Other than that did a good job. Cleaned everything up. Rec'd an estimate to remove one & trim four maples. Surprised at the price, will shop around.

Efficient. Good communication. Cleaned up entire yard. Great Jon. Would recommend.

project went smooth

Excellent. Planning to use him again

The crew was quick and efficient.

Excellent and quick service, GREAT PRICE

Good service and clean up was good

Mr. Ryan got upset and loud bec he wanted me to write postive things even though he refuses to complete a job that started in October 2017.So I did and still he's fasley stated he would return after several calls. I will file more complaints or small claims which should not have come to this. All I needed was a 15' pine and roots removed and he never bother to remove trunk and roots and he wonders why I rated him so low when I give others 5's. I will pay someone to finish his unfinished work.

He was responsive and kept his appointment. The owner himself came out. We negotiated a fair deal without any issues. I will use him again.

This was the second time I used Ryan and was very pleased. He was quick, explained what was being done and did a fine job. As a property manager/owner, he is my go to person for landscaping; I will keep him in my business directory.

It cost me an additional $1000 to clean up after this company. If you need someone to do 1/2 the work, hire this company.

This is the 2nd time I've used Ryan Landscaping. They came out quickly for an estimate and when i accepted they scheduled the job and actually showed up on the scheduled day! They consulted with me again the day of the job and did exactly what I asked them to do and also cleaned up the property nicely. I won't even look for anyone else the next time I have a job. Ryan is the best.

This is the second time we used Jim and his crew and like the first time, they did a great job and cleaned up everything before they left. We had them remove 4 trees and Jim gave us a very fair price. We're running out of trees for them to cut down, but they offer a full range of landscaping services, so I'm sure we will be calling them to do additional work.

They did a great job and totally cleaned up afterwards! Highly recommend them!
