I have a well-established lilac bush that appeared to be dying. Before calling a service, I treated…read morethe bush topically with an anti-fungus spray and also a treatment mixed with water and applied at the base of the bush which moves internally through the branch system. It looked hopeless so I called Starwood, a tree service that claims professional services. From their website: "We have team members who are ISA-certified arborists with years of experience in the industry. You can depend on our skills and expertise to get the job done right." The first thing I'm told in person by the representative, with a straight face, is they charge a minimum of $950. This is without even inspecting the bush. I ask if he'd like to take time out and actually take a look, so he manages a short walk to the rear of the house and tells me the tree is dead. They can trim it off to the ground and rake the existing stones over the area. I could do that with a chain saw in 5 minutes. I told the guy thanks but no thanks. I've been in business for years so don't show up cocky, arrogant and obnoxious and expect to get work. So, I decide to wait, continue to treat the bush and it begins to recover. This Spring the bush has fully recovered full of leaves, and I expect it may bloom. Starwood claims to have certified arborists. I imagine they should go back to school.

I originally received a handwritten quote of $5,000. After waiting over a week and following up…read moremultiple times, I was never put on the schedule. Eventually, the price increased to over $7,000. I've attached the original handwritten quote on the back of the business card to show the discrepancy. This experience reinforced the importance of getting everything clearly in writing. Since posting this review, the owner has contacted me several times, stating that this "should have been handled man-to-man." I found that framing unnecessary and unprofessional, especially given that the review reflects my actual experience. Due to recent threats of legal action over my original opinion, I have been documenting communications and recording calls. I'm comfortable standing by the factual details of what occurred. Overall, the experience felt unprofessional, and I would not recommend this company. Protect yourself and make sure you get written estimates.
