RIPOFF!!

I am very very disappointed with this company & I strongly recommend anyone looking for tree work of any kind to look elsewhere!! Please don't make the mistake we made.



I called Abbott Tree Care to give us a price on removing a few of our trees & trimming a couple trees. First off, whoever came out was 2 hours late for our appointment we scheduled. The guy was extremely rude & not acknoledging of what we wanted done. He made us feel as though we should we say, stupid. We were smart enough to get a few estimates before Abbott's estimator came out & he gave us a proposal more than double the amount other larger more reputable tree companies had given us. We of course made the mistake to go with Abbott due to timeframe (others said about 6-8 days 7 Abbott said 2-3) well we needed this done ASAP. I kept calling & calling after the 3rd day & they kept putting me off (No way to run a business)!! My husband & I cooperated with them & too make a long story short, it took them 10 days later to come out. We were initially ripped off as well as my neighbor down the street who had a similar issue. Well the guys ended up spilling oil or greese throughout my driveway from their equipment & NO ONE spoke English, so I could not communicate with them. I had to explain everything to them & they would not understand, so we had to get our neighbor who was bi-lingual to translate. The work was done poorly!! Our tree ended up dying out, not to mention our gutter was damaged from branches falling on the gutters. We ended up having the tree work finally & the crew left a big mess in our front yard from their equipment. We had enough with the chaos and contacted the owner direct. Mike Abbott hung up on us & said "business is business"- we were outraged & contacted our attorney. We mentioned this to our attorney & mentioned that this company has a reputation of doing this to honest customers.



Anyone that's looking for tree work, please I recommend you stay away from this company!! The worst srevice & ownership we've ever dealt with!
