After my first experience, I didn't hesitate to reach back out to James again when I needed work done EXCEPT this time James didn't finish the job, left the property a mess, and is now unreachable. May 15th: I had to leave the job site early but before leaving James approached me to pay for the job in full via Square so he could build credit with the company for loans. I had no issue paying him as he had completed the last job without issue. James also asked if I could have my neighbors pay via square which I said I would help with, if needed as they are not tech savvy. We discussed another job for him before I left that day. James assured me he would be removing the shefflera and oak and hauling it away before the day's end as they were also simultaneously working on my neighbor's property as well (jobs I got for him). May 17th: James comes by the next potential job site I was offering him. I gave him a few cold Cokes and allowed him to go through the shed and take items that him/his company could use. Shortly after the appraisal I started to receive complaints about the pond (my initial job) not being completed. May 19th: James reached out to see about moving forward with the next job however he hadn't finished the original job. He mentioned spotting a 2-3ft baby gator. May 20th: I returned to the property and the oak was still there in large sections. I had to locate James up the road on job site number 4 to ask when he would be finishing my property which was started on the first day (May 15th) and to let him know that shoes, socks, and my neighbor's shovel, which they borrowed for the job was at the house. I informed him of the empty Gatorade, styrofoam cups, and water bottles strewn about the yard that I had to pick up. James and his worker started arguing over it. Jame's worker told me I've been nothing but kind to them (buying them cold drinks, lunch, and tipping them on past jobs) and he will see to it that my property is finished before days end. I told them if they are reluctant because of the baby alligator I would stand in the water (only a few feet deep) and guard the men while they work. He said it wasn't necessary. Trusting his word I left. My neighbors later called and let me know they didn't touch my yard. James told me via text that he would be there on Friday (May 22nd) May 22nd: I show up early to unlock the gates head to an apt then come back to wait. By 1pm no James. I text him and his reply "I'm gunna be honest with you I'm exhausted, we need the day off, we'll be there tomorrow between 12-2" followed by "I will return". If he knew he wasn't coming a text earlier would have been polite so I didn't sit waiting on someone who isn't knowingly showing up. I informed the tenant of James's coming on Saturday so he could make arrangements with his vehicle as they would need the driveway, lock up, and head home. Saturday May 23rd I head to the property, unlock the gates, wait, wait, and wait.....dejavu... No James. After 2pm I sent him a message except this time there was no reply. I have since tried to call and text James multiple times to no avail. He is intentionally dodging my calls/texts as he replied to other texts for new work which lets me know he has little to no intent on finishing the job and likely blocked me altogether as my messages are no longer showing delivered. If I do not hear back by next week I will have someone finish the job he walked away from as I have many people depending on me for the completion of the project. James has not only inconvenienced me with his no-shows but also let my tenant and neighbors down who are depending on the completion of this work. I will no longer use and/or refer to James as I will likely have to prepare for legal action for breach of contract. Be careful if using this company as James has no integrity and will take your payment in full and walk away without guilt or remorse. Shady con artist. James lost a loyal customer.

Scott Fey, Island Tree Service, is a star... The laurel oak in front of the house I bought six…read moreyears ago had a dysfunctional history, a combination of ill-advised DIY trim jobs and storm strikes. I had it trimmed August '21 by a tree company run by a coworker's pal, for mates-rates of $700. They did a desultory job, with not nearly the result that was agreed to. Then the trio of hurricanes in autumn of '24 brought further sorrow to the cherished tree. Got a few estimates in autumn of '25 and Scott Fey easily rose to top choice. He has expert knowledge, gained through broad experience and training; he is an ISA Certified Arborist, FL5590A. He thoroughly inspected and analyzed the tree's needs, explaining as he went along. To my question, he honestly replied that the best time to work on this tree with its special considerations was a few months later. There were delays on my end, but Island honored the original quote and the lovely TLC work was done today...and the whole neighborhood was very impressed by the Island Tree Service team, equipment, and result for this precious shade- and oxygen-giving tree! But beyond all that, Scott Fey shines as a professional who cares deeply about trees, knows best what they need, and is an excellent person to work with on such a project.

On August 10, 2025, he called me to say he could do the job for $700.00 and offered to work with me since it was a small job. I mentioned that I was seeking other quotes because his initial offer seemed too high, and I would let him know my decision. He called again, which should have been a warning sign for me to look for someone else, but I ignored it and agreed to have him come for the job on August 24, 2025, at 8:00 AM. I asked if he was sure about the timing because it had been raining, and whether he worked on Sundays. He assured me that he would accommodate my schedule. He arrived at 8:28 AM, which was 28 minutes late, and started banging on my door with a document showing a new charge of $950.00. He also attempted to alter the number of stumps to be removed. I refused to sign the document, and he became hostile, aggressive, and argumentative. I told him, "You will not pressure me into signing that document, and if you continue to disrespect me, you may leave." I intentionally left my entry door open to record the entire encounter. His behavior was dishonest, as he left dirt on the side of my property and failed to bag and tie up the stems and leaves for proper disposal. I have notified the county about this issue. Additionally, he made inappropriate comments, telling me how nice I looked. In my opinion, he is truly unprofessional. 0.5/5 stars.
