Joe is dishonest, plain and simple. After reading this review, you will reach the same conclusion. We asked Joe to trim the trees and shrubs in our backyard. He quoted us $1,000, explaining that it would take his team around 4 hours to do the job properly. We agreed to those terms and scheduled an appointment from the early morning to the early afternoon, which would work with our schedules. On the day of our appointment, we called him an hour past our appointment time. He said that he would be two hours late, which was cutting it close for us, but we didn't realize how late it would become. He delayed it each time we asked. When he arrived around 4 or 5 pm, he explained that he was at a bigger job that required hours of time. But the problems didn't end there. His guys came in to do the job. What he quoted us--4 hours--became 45 minutes. They did not finish the job. Bushes were still touching the side of our house and they left cut-up shrubbery around our yard, without picking it up. When he finished, he demanded a check before we could even look at the job. We decided to look around the place, realizing that the job was left incomplete. None of this is surprising--spending 45 minutes on a 4-hour job is not enough time to get it done. When we showed him the spots, he admitted that his guys were "in a rush" and that he didn't supervise them. We wrote him a check, but only on the condition that he comes back in the next two weeks to clean up problems with the yard. He agreed, promising that he would take care of it in a timely fashion. We made a mistake in trusting his word, which apparently does not mean much. He did not show up for two months. We called around every two weeks, hoping that he would have the time to come in and do the work he promised to do. He did not. We employed his services originally in May, and he didn't show up until August. By then, he realized that what he had NOT done exceeded even his expectations. He thought the trees needed a simple trim, but they needed to be cut down the way he promised the first time. So what did he do? He asked for MORE money to complete the job. By then, we had wised up and told him no. He then walked off the job a second time. Of the few reviews online, this seems to be something of a theme. Joe promises to finish a job, knows he won't get paid extra to do so, and then he ignores it. This is true on both Angi and Google. We cannot in good conscience recommend you use his service. Stay away. read more

I can not vouch for the work that they do as I was never able to see it. When I called to get a pricing idea they said we can come out today and get a quote. He said he will be out around 5 o'clock. At 5:15 I called to get an eta, I needed to call a second number to get an answer as there was no response from the first number I tried. I spoke with a women who said she would contact them (I am thinking the crew or the man I spoke with earlier). At 5:24 she called me back saying they are on their way will be there in 5 to 10 minutes. I called them back at 6:00 and never got a hold of anyone. Only one of the numbers are you able to leave a voicemail. At 6:45 I finally left a voicemail to tell them to not come. I do not know if they ever got that but they never did come. This really makes me not want to use their services. I personally feel after being that late they realized they probably were not going to get my business so just stopped caring and ignored me. However that is all speculation. I would not recommend to anyone. read more

G&M stands behind their work. I have a louse 1:35 minutes from Houston. I was not at my house when the job was initially completed. I was not satisfied. I called G&M and explained what I preceived was the issue. Robert and an employee drove to my house and completely took care of the issue to my complete satisfaction. They stand behind their work. read more

I don't care what anyone says, I have worked with Joe and his team for many years on my heavily tree'd home property in Orono. We have about an acre of land full of mature trees. Year after year they stop by and offer help. I have had great service! They work hard and are honest and have great rates. For example, last summer I had one major huge limb removed from a big elm in my front yard overhanging the house that Joe did for under $400 when I had just recently received bids from passer-by companies for up to $1500! And these bidders said "if I don't do it immediately it was going to fall on my house literally any day." I get free mulch regularly - which I greatly appreciate. And I have just paid for mulch landscaping across my entire property as well. Job well done on that too - as usual. Honest. Hard working. Good rates. Dependable. Thanks Joe & Team!! I would recommend you any time!! THIS IS AN HONEST UNEDITED REVIEW FROM PAUL DEBERNARDI IN ORONO, MN read more

We had this excellent group of guys out today to trim over a dozen trees. Most of these were 100+ year old white oak and hard maples. They not only exceeded our expectations on pricing, but were able to start work immediately. They were a real pleasure to work throughout the process. You can tell everyone has a true passion for trees and doing quality work. I'm still amazed at how high (80-100ft) Luke was willing to climb to get the dead wood. Trees look ready to go another 100 years. Thank you Joe, Luke and the rest of your team! We'll be sure to recommend you to the rest of the neighborhood. read more

Got a quote, good price to take a tree down. Said they would start in 3 weeks. Three weeks went by, called and Joe said weather has slowed them down, be there in 3 more weeks. Waited three weeks, no show and I called and canceled due to thawing ground to soft to work on. Called again this spring after ground was firm enough and Joe said three weeks. It's been 4 weeks and no show. Never had the decency to call with updates. Just left us in the dark. read more

They removed one large tree and several small ones and were to come back and grind the large stump. I couldnt remember exactly what was quoted so gave Joe a check for $900, which was $50 too much. He said he would grind the small stumps too, for that. He never came back after several calls. He promised and gave times but never showed so I'm out what it will cost me to grind the stumps. Weird because I've done business with them several times so why he would lose future business for the sake of $100 is beyond me. If you use them never pay before ALL the work is done. read more

Joe Gosiak didn't finish our job because we weren't on site at the time to make sure they completed the job. I made at least 30 calls to him to have them follow up and complete the work we paid for in the past year and he has not followed through. Says he will be there to finish the work but doesn't show up for appointments - - missed at least a dozen promised dates --not sure he can be trusted. read more

Very poor follow-up. Left tree debris by curb. kept promising to pick it up, but never showed.
