*I hired Christian's Lawn Care to work specifically on tree cutting, bush/shrub removal, and hauling away previously cut trees - these services do not seem to be companies' specialty, and reviewers should take this into account. The company seems much better equipped for lawn care and maintenance.* I hired Christian to cut and remove a magnolia tree, remove several shrubs, and haul away the debris from two pine trees I had cut down over a year ago. Christian's quote came in at a reasonable amount after he reviewed the scope of work, and in line with what my previous (now retired) arborist had quoted me. He quoted me a short timeline to start the work (7-10 days), and after a short reasonable delay due to inclement weather, his crew was on site the next week to cut and remove the magnolia, and remove shrubs. They completed most of the work in a day, with three shrubs unremoved - and I was asked to pay for the portion of the work completed (which I did, under the stipulation that the amount paid included work not yet completed, and I was assured it would be completed the next morning). The magnolia tree accounted for the bulk of the quoted estimate, and after the removal and the sent payment, the following problems began to arise: the shrubs paid for were not removed (at time of writing, our contract is complete and paid in full and there are still three shrubs remaining), I was left with minimal contact and no schedule for completing the remaining work, when contacting Christian regarding expected schedule I was given reasons about equipment wear/tear on landscaping (the work was eventually done manually with no equipment brought in), I was asked to pay an additional amount as a premium for the crew working in summer weather (which I did, because the crew does good work), I was told equipment would be rented and brough in to complete the work efficiently and it never was, and the job was eventually left unfinished due to underquote. When working on removing the pine tree brush eventually started, everything was going well, and after the second day (bulk of the work), and a premium for the workers being active in summer weather (something that should have been managed through the use of half-days), Christian returned to me that he had underquoted the work, suggested that I had possibly hidden the nature of the scope of work (I had clearly stated on his inspection and quote there were two felled pines, with one 28" stump visible, and 8-10 remaining pines still standing as examples to their nature), that the remaining balance be paid in full, and that he would be unable to continue further work unless the remaining work was requoted. On this, I agreed to pay the remaining balance again stipulating previously paid work had still not been completed, and when asked if I was happy with the work, I disclosed that I was not (taking into account the scope of work as a whole). - I cannot recommend Christian's Lawn Care as a professional service for tree and shrub removal. - I can say that the Christian's crew is hardworking and do a reasonable job of cleaning up completed jobs (e.g. the magnolia tree) - I cannot recommend Christian as a proactive and professional who will communicate schedule and work updates clearly and in a timely fashion - I cannot recommend Christian as an adequate appraiser of the scope of work for tree and shrub removal and the quotes produced for such work read more

Driving behind this reckless truck with Christians lawn care, debris flying out and hitting road. Tree logs. Branches. Totally ignored us from ramp 118 to ivy exit where he exited. Dashcam equals insurance payout if someone hits all that large debris he left on interstate. Obey law and cover your debris you reckless driver!!!! read more

Terrible experience dealing with Christians Lawn Care after I contacted them for tree removal service in August/September 2020. On 4 different days, spread out over 5 weeks, the crew did not show up. Only got excuses and promises that the next scheduled date they would show up. Never happened. After the last scheduled date came and went, I informed the owner that we can no longer be patient and requested our deposit back. That was 9/23 and as of 11/2, no deposit and response. Reading other reviews, which I should have done in the first place, indicates a 'no show' is not uncommon with this company. If you are looking for a reliable tree service company, I would strongly recommend you do not call Christians Lawn Care. read more

don't usually write bad reviews but I've never experienced anything like this before. I called Christian about a lawn cut and a tree limb that was down in my yard. He told me a price based on a photo of the tree limb that he asked me to send him, which he later claimed was deceiving said I was trying to hide the magnitude of work needing to be done. First, he screamed at his employee in my backyard so loud that I could hear it in my house and then I guess his employee quit and left. Christian then called me from his truck outside my house and apologized and said his employee has no experience and that he was waiting for someone else to come. He then proceeded to hit on me and ask me personal questions about my life including where I work and if I have a boyfriend. He then went back to the backyard and was talking to a neighbor of mine in my yard for at least an hour instead of working. When I went back to ask if he was almost done he said he was almost done and leaving soon. He cut the tree up limb up and left it all over my yard without hauling it away and said he would Be back tomorrow because he "didn't feel good". Then he texted me and apologized for making me upset and offered to finish the job for free. The next day I texted him to confirm he was still planning to come back that day and he sent me a series of extremely long, rambling and harassing texts about how I was trying to get out of paying and how I made up the fact that he was trying to hit on me since no one was a witness to that besides me. And of course, he never came back to finish taking away all the tree pieces. read more

Work is average at best, but he wants payment as soon as he finishes. I had been paying monthly, an arrangement we agreed upon, and he starts hounding me for the money before the end of the month! Not worth the aggravation to deal with read more

I would not use them. They promised weekly service starting April and then did not show up so I had to call and came right before Easter. Then both times they forgot to mow parts of my lawn. All forgiven as they came back second time. First forget they said they were too busy. Then promised to come weekly. After that at almost 2 weeks had to remind them. Promised to come two days in a row and both days did not show up. I said if you do not come tomorrow, looks like we are done and they never responded. read more

Hired them to clean up my leaves. They gave me a quote but after getting into the job they upped the price. They left without finishing the job. I told them they should stand by their quote but they said they would not come back unless I paid 80.00 to finish a small strip by the road. I have them for my daughters yard but will no longer use them. Christian was very disrespectful to me about finishing the job. read more

I needed someone for routine mowing and weed-eating. The owner of the business came out and looked at the property and gave a very reasonable quote. He gave me an appointment as to when he'd come out and do the work. However, rain prevented him from coming. It had rained for 3 straight days. He was a no-show on the first good day of weather. I contacted him 3 or 4 times before he finally showed up. Given that it had rained for 3 days and him being a no-show, the grass had grown. He charged $25 over his initial quote, saying that the grass was long. Well yeah, rain tends to do that to grass. Thinking that that was unfair of him and my not wanting to get into some big hassle with him, I paid him his price. As if that wasn't bad enough, he inflated his initial quote by $10 for future mowing. When I asked why his quote was now $10 over the initial quote, he said it was because of the Covid virus. We were in the midst of the Covid virus pandemic when he gave the initial quote. So what changed? I don't believe that the inflated quote was due to Covid. My impression is that he thought that he had me over a barrel and that I needed him if I wanted to get my lawn done, so he tried to take advantage of the perceived need. I have no plans to use him again for future lawn mowing and weed-eating. read more
