Get matched with top tree stump removers in Ryde, CA

"Description of Work: Trim 3 Trees on front porch & front yard. After completion of tasks, the Tree Trimmer did not clean off black marks left on my concrete front porch. He also did not follow instructions on how much to cut back teee limbs. He ended up cutting away to many limbs thus leaving very little foilage left for shading porch from hot sun. I went forward with the work as I was in dire need of tree trimming services asap becaz the tree had grown over the rain gutter onto the roof. When the wind or rain came it would blow the tree limbs making loud scraping & dripping noises. We had to ask that the contractor to come back and remove the blk marks on porch concrete. He did so within 2 weeks. He pressure washed the entire front porch per my request thus leaving it looking very clean. He also cut back some additional limbs per my request that were low hanging stragglers. Overall he tidied up when he finished the task by blowing front porch & yard with a leaf blower. He discarded the cut branches & leaves into my green garbage can. At the completion of the re-work I came to front door with credit card to pay the contractor. He swiped my card using a hand held device smaller than a deck of cards. The payment went thru and confirm email was sent to me. Later after the re-work was completed I got 3 other quotes and found his tree trim service was $100's of dollars higher than comparable contractors in the area. Wished I had done that before I hired him. But Angie's list highly recommended him so I thought it was a good fit for my project. Apparently not. The tree trimming was over done by taking off too much of the foliage. In my communications and experience with this tree trimmer I found him to be not polite and to overly confident. Not willing to make any compromises regarding discounting the tree trim invoice due to his not following my instructions on how much to cut back the tree limbs. He was demanding payment over the phone and overly aggressive at first when I spoke to him about cutting back to much of the tree. Claiming I should have come outside while they were trimming to supervise. I had already gone over the instructions with him by texting him one week before start of job. I thought he was clear on how much to cut back but apparently not. So, I would not recommend or use this outfit again."

"Contracted to remove a large appx 20 ft oak from side of property partially over roof. The crew arrived promptly and executed removal in short time. Allowing ample time to prune a maple tree in backyard. Opted to keep the wood to use in fireplace and outdoor pit. The wood was stacked and the area cleaned up. They also shredded some prunings from shrubs I had left on side of house without asking. Overall an awesome job well done and will definitely hire again."

"All the requests were done and they were even flexible enough to make small changes when the crew arrived"

"Amazing! Very professional crew. I would not hesitate to have them come out again. As a matter of fact, Lauren did come out here this past week to evaluate the needed work of removing part of a dead tree on the outside of my property that had broken off and fell on my gate, smashing it in two pieces. My valued champion/ obedience titled dog had escaped the night before and I was in the throes of also dealing with finding him. Not only did Lauren remove the tree part so I could hire a fence company to repair the fence, but he went back to his office and with the help of Nicole, the office manager, located the Facebook page for lost and found pets which put me in contact with the family who had taken my dog in for the night. What an amazing and ethical group the people are at ACORN Arboricultural Services!!! Love them and can't say enough about them! Deeply appreciate this company."

"They were courteous and on time."

"I used LD Tree Care for removing a tree and trimming mistletoe from another one. They did a fine job, but broke several pots, broke a chair, and left many large branches in the yard. They asked me to send a picture of the broken chair, so I did, but they never replied. I subsequently asked them for a bid on another tree. Without even sending a bid, they replied to me that they had applied for a permit from the city. I told them not to do that. That I had not authorized that. They did not reply. They eventually send a bid that was almost twice the price of another firm. When the other firm tried to get a permit, they were informed that LD Tree Care had already applied for one, and the city would not accept a new one. This was completely unauthorized. Even if it was a mistake or misunderstanding, they could have withdrawn the application. I called them and texted them and they never responded. This is not a trustworthy company."
