  Handled 7 trees, two on a building, one had to be climbed. All done, safely and at a fair price.

  We hired Dennis to remove 3 large trees. We signed a contract and paid him up front (over $5000) because he insisted he needed the money for the crane and stump grinder. He even begged us for upfront money so his daughter could go to camp. He had a guy limb the trees then leave all the debris and trees uncut and stopped responding to our requests. We shook hands, this guy gave us his word of honor. His is nothing buy a liar and a thief. Stay far from him.

  There was a new price every day for the same project. Not once they show on time and i had to chase for hours Really bad work ethics. Not recommended. Project costed 200% than their original quote

  I would not recommend this company to anyone. We had a contract with Mr. Bauman and his associate to climb and take down a large tree for $3500. Included in the cost was a large tree that was to be brought down to a safe 20ft height, and all the pieces were to be chopped into 16-inch pieces so we could move then ourselves. I told him that I didn't know much about tree cutting and he reassured me that he would be able to climb the tree and get it down safely for the price. I had my doubts and he kept reassuring me that he knew what he was doing. After Bauman and his partner (the one that actually climbs and cuts the tree) realized it would take more than a weekend, they decided they wanted to charge us more for coming out again (the contract stated no time limit, just that the tree would be taken down for the price we agreed on.) When we declined they changed what they told us and suddenly the tree was too dangerous to climb without a lift. We relented and rented a lift, because we needed the tree down before winter. Bauman advised us to lie and tell the lift rental company that we were using it to put Christmas lights up; we did not, we told the company the truth of what we were using it for. We bought a lift with an 8hr timer on it... they told us they knew how to use the lift and assured us that everything was fine; they got it stuck in the mud for nearly six hours and my neighbor had to use heavy equipment to haul it out. That said, stuff happens, things get stuck, we moved on. They asked us if they could cut more trees and top off a nearby tree while they were on the lift, we told them no. Bauman was upset that we didn't want him to keep chopping random trees we wanted around-- we just wanted the large tree gone! At this point we'd paid for a few more dead trees and them to come out again, because we were desperate to get the giant dead tree off the property. They dropped a large limb into my neighbor's yard (with permission) but never cut it into pieces we could move as per the contract. They basically left it there for us to deal with; we don't own chainsaws and we had paid Bauman to cut it into managable pieces for this reason. Bauman left shortly after dropping the limb that Saturday evening. He took the $500 that was for both Saturday and Sunday, vehemently promising my fiance that he was going to be back the next day after church to finish cutting the limb apart and get the tree cut down to 20ft as per agreement. At this point between trees, lift rental and everything, we'd spent nearly $5000. The next afternoon he still hadn't shown up. When I contacted him he stated that he wasn't coming back because he didn't charge us enough, that we were ungrateful for his service, and that dangerous raccoons lived in the tree (we've never had any in the tree, or the yard, and none of the neighbors have seen any around for years either.) I contacted him a week later to see if he would reconsider; this time he told me the tree was too dangerous to cut. This company didn't fulfill the contract we had signed together, and we paid way more than agreed upon, along with the cost of the lift that was out of pocket. The entire time they worked for us they kept trying to get us to purchase more services, like trying to get us to ask them for a quote on a fence, cut or prune more trees, etc. My fiance and I thanked him gratuitously and tipped him, along with giving he and his partner waters while they worked and offering them food. I didn't mind that he brought his children along; they were very well behaved. Bauman seemed to make excuse after excuse to not come back, and we haven't recieved any refund despite the fact that the job was partially finished. It's quite frustrating that on the last day he was over he profusely promised my fiance that they would be back to finish, that the rest of the job would be easy, etc. and then took the $500 and ran. It bothers me that they told us to lie to the lift rental company. This company is shifty and not to be trusted.

  Bad work ethic! Every estimate on this project said it would take 3 or 4 days. It took Dennis about two weeks to finish our 130 feet of fence. After the first couple of days he stopped showing up and we had to text or call him to get him to come back. When he did show it would be about an hour before dark and he would work on it only an hour or two. Less than two weeks after it is 'finished' pickets are falling. Now he isn't responding to our texts. When we went to screw them back on we discovered quite a few boards that either had no screws holding them up at all or only one at the top or only one at the bottom.
