"It went very well! I needed the drain line extended for about 10 feet after the job was completed. Barry Gladstone, the owner, came out on the next business day and completed the work at no extra charge. I waited for 2 years to write this review to test the drainage system over 2 complete weather cycles. After all of this time, everything is still working very well. I highly recommend Mr. Gladstone and the Outdoor Connection Inc for outside drainage system work."

"Davey Tree's communication is a new level of terrible. I organized an initial consultation which included discussion of tree trimming, fertilization and an insect infestation. In the consultation, I was told that I would be shown which branches and limbs would be cut prior to it occurring by use of a laser pointer. The crew arrived and started cutting without talking to me at all. When I asked them about the laser pointer, they denied knowing that anyone in the company used one. They also did not let me know that the cars in front of the house would need to be moved in order to do the work so I could alert my neighbors in advance. After an apology from Davey for all of this miscommunication, I gave them a second chance. I called to ask them to fertilize the tree that we had discussed during our consultation. I scheduled the call for this morning and then got emails saying it was another consultation and the fertilization would be done at another time. The woman who answers their phone needs to be educated in listening to what the customer needs and then make it happen."
