Called for free estimate for tree trimming and tree removal. I was told someone would come. Two weeks later, called again and was told they were really busy but we were on their list. They should be out shortly. No one ever came out or called. It has been weeks now and we had the Work done by someone else. Nice business model! Thanks for nothing.
