New Life Tree Service

I was very pleased with the trimming of the trees and the clean up of afterwards. My yard looks so much lighter and brighter.

This service is very poor. We had them come out to grind out a stump and trim some branches. they left a huge mess of clippings that I had to remind them to finish. Also, we commissioned them to make a simple 3 peice log bench for us and it took almost 3 months and it’s still not right. prices are fair. but that’s about all

New Life Tree Service did a great job on our trees and cleaned up really well. They are good people and are courteous and polite as well. The only problem was no one came back as promised on Sunday night to set out the two very, very heavy yard debris cans for the City to pick up. I called as requested but maybe there was a communication mix-​up. I was very pleased with the tree work.

How can people have such good experience with these guys is beyond me. We hired these guys because they were cheap, but let me tell you, for how they are cheap, they ended up being very expensive for us.
First of all, we asked them twice to be very careful about our tomato plants and to use the wood chips from the trees to cover the area of the front yard. When I came home I saw them dragging the branches THROUGH the tomato plants, which are now just wrecked. Out of 10 plants, 6 are pretty badly damaged. Kicker was, that they knew that they were supposed to be careful, because once they saw that we were at home, they stopped dragging the branches through the tomato plants and started going around them.
Also, they let some of the big branches from the tree just fall on top of the tomato plants. There is a big dent in the tomato frame and the plant in it is just wrecked.
The wood chips that they made by processing the trees just look horrible, huge pieces, big pieces, small pieces, it looks like a complete mess. I will have to pay couple of hundred bucks more just so that I can get wood chips for the front yard and couple of hundred bucks to remove the awful wood chips they left. I asked around and everyone just keeps saying that they could set the wood chipper to smaller chips and it would look just fine.
Also, when we asked them to put the chips on the front yard, they just drove the truck there and dumped everything on one big heap and left. They also damaged my watering hose and did not even tell me about it. Just left a couple of coke cans for me the clean up…
So, they were pretty cheap, but now I have to pay:
— 200 USD to remove the awful wood chips
— 300 USD to buy some good wood chips
— 50 USD for a new hose
— 150 USD to replace my tomato plants
So, in total 600 USD to fix what they damaged. Did I say that they cost 800 USD in total? So 800 USD service requires me to pay 600 USD mess they left behind. Cheers all around I guess.
