    I never gave these jokers permission to park their truck on my property to cut a tree the neighbor asked them to cut down.
    Linas M.

    So a few months ago, my neighbor came by and asked for permission to cut a tree down that spanned both our properties. I was not crazy about the idea, but I agreed, as I wanted to be a friendly neighbor, and I could see that the tree could endanger both of our homes. About two weeks later, I came home in the morning to see a truck parked on my flower beds about 14 inches from my front window. I don't remember giving permission to have a huge truck park on my lawn. I expected all work to be done from my neighbor's property. I had no notice of date, no notification that anyone would be parking a multi-ton truck on my property. I would have expected the company would have confirmed the approval to cut the tree from a property owner. I came home, I called the police, the police agreed that this company had no right to come on my property, let alone bring a heavy truck on my flower beds. I documented the event with my drone, and after they left I documented damage to my gutter (minor, I agree, but still should be addressed by the company that did the work (Gatorback Tree Service) -- Also, one of my three Hostas in my front flower beds never grew back this spring. I sent Gatorback Tree Service a bill on June 19th, 2019, for $407.63 to cover the damages to my property. I feel it is modest. I have not heard from this company. It's almost a month. I guess I need to file in small claims court. You'd think a company would care more about their reputation and just send me a check for my damages. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this company if you need any tree work. All I asked for was replacement of a length of gutter, paint to match, and the cost of one Hosta from Home Depot. If you need tree work, I urge you to call someone else. https://www.facebook.com/lmuliolis/posts/10218905014078491

    Beware of this company. We received several quotes for my mothers house in willowick. They were the lowest price. They're the lowest price for a reason though. They left cracks in the sidewalk...also on the neighbors sidewalk. There are ruts in the yard and oil in the driveway. They gave us the ol "you signed the contract". Do yourself a favor and go with a reputable company. I'll be sure to share this review everywhere. I shouldn't have to pay to get several blocks of concrete replaced after a "professional" company was paid well to cut down a tree.

    We needed tree removal after a storm. We received quick and competent service. Everyone was extremely nice. What more could you ask for?

    If I could give a "0" I would and I am more than disappointed in myself for not checking reviews or…read moreBBB AND for paying in full. (PS, I'm pretty sure that 5-star review is a plant.) Yes, I know, and trust me, not a day goes by that I don't kick myself in the you-know-what for not guarding my money. They are only motivated to finish a job if they haven't received payment, which, at the end of the day, baffles me. I needed a bunch of trees removed and stumps ground. Their communication is beyond horrific and I cannot be more grateful that I have all of our conversations in writing. Excuse after excuse. I was told they'd be back out to grind the stumps they left two to four days after - the service was done on May 12th to give reference. When it didn't happen, I was then told that the owner "meant well" (yes, said this) but they usually quote one to two weeks. The drawn-out string of excuses goes on and on from there but, as I'm sure you can surmise, they never came back. So I asked for a refund and, well, three guesses - although you'll only need two - how quickly that was (not) given. I had to hire another company because this was holding up getting my entire driveway redone and I ended up losing my space because of it. The actual tree removal was also incredibly unprofessional, which I did discuss with the owner after that job was completed. The crew didn't wear any safety gear, and they left a few plastic bottles in my front yard. I'm certain they were under the influence of something, they drove their large brush removal truck through one portion of my yard - leaving a deep and long tread mark, and they dropped a large tree branch on our telephone and internet lines, which knocked out our internet for four days. Thankfully, two of them were on the weekend because my partner and I both WFH, but I digress. Simply put, do. not. use. them.

Advised me on what to do with it and did not charge me. The other two times I met with Eric I was extremely impressed with the time he took to examine the tree look at all options for trimming large branches and yet still keeping the tree looking attractive and healthy . I did engage Eric and his crew to trim this Mighty Oak and I couldn't be happier . Communication not only with him but also his secretary Liz was exceptional . His crew showed up on time and ready to work five guys came and I couldn't be happier with the work that they did they were polite they worked efficiently they communicated with me well and just were great guys . I would have to say the whole team went above and beyond my expectations . I had read some negative review on Yelp and could not believe that these reviews were for the same company that I was dealing with . I will certainly be using Eric and Serrano Tree Service in the future and I look forward to working with his crew again . Thank you EricI
