    I hired XL Outdoor contracting to remove 10 trees from my property on June 17th, 2023. Alex and his crew got the trees down and removed from the property. With the tree removal there was some damage to my retaining wall, which I was warned could happen and I was prepared for. Alex offered to rebuild a new retaining wall. After talking with him I told him to take some measurements and come up with a price and we could discuss it. When I came home from work on June 20th he had removed the wall and hundreds of dollars in landscaping rocks, pavers, flagstone and plants without talking to me. He told me he would have the wall replaced by the following Friday (June 23rd) and come replant the grass in my neighbors yard that he destroyed in the process of removing my trees. Well it rained a lot that week leaving my entire back yard and neighbors yard a mud pit ( I have 4 dogs so as you can imagine my house was also a mud pit). Finally after the rain continued to push off the job Alex ordered the supplies for the wall and I paid for them. Delivery was on July 11th with Alex and his crew starting the job on July 12th. No call, no show on July 12th, 13th, and 14th. Alex is barely responding to my texts and ignoring my calls. Finally Wednesday July 18th Alex responds to a text staying he can start the job the following Tuesday July 25th. He texted me Tuesday morning and said he wouldn't be able to come start due to the rain, no rain happened overnight at my house and the forecast for the day way sunny. He continued to ignore my calls and texts. It's been over a month since he ripped out a wall without permission or a quote to replace it. Constant promises to "take care of me" and a very disappointing result. I wouldn't recommend him for a job if you enjoy good communication and follow through. Not to mention inappropriate behavior. I had three separate neighbors complain to me about profanities being screamed from the top of a tree. He has big promises and underwhelming results. If you want a job half completed he might do that for you. His prices are "fair" but you get what you pay for. The pictures for reference are how much of my neighbors property was left a mess and what my patio now looks like every time it rains.

    We relocated to Williamson county about a year ago and we have around 4 acres, with quite a few…read moretrees needing to be removed. Through some research on yelp and google, I eventually had 3 different companies come out and quote me. Including Dever and MIG. I don't leave many reviews on social media, but I trusted Dever's assessment of our situation above and beyond any of the other companies. His recommendations not only ended up saving us from Wasting unnecessary $, but he also identified a couple trees which he recommended for me removal, which I hadn't thought of. And he was right. When they were removed today it was obvious they had major termite damage internally, which I never would have been able to identify myself, nor did any of the other groups mention it. If we would have left those trees, we would have had some substantial risk to our home and other structures if they would have fallen naturally. Dever and his team's communication was quick and did exactly what they suggested they would, in the timeline they originally presented. I'm super pleased with the overall results, how they cleaned up, and the value of this entire project. Im not sure how far MIG travels but if you're in or around Williamson county I would definitely recommended talking with Dever and MIG.

I had one tree up against my house and they took great care to make sure it fell away from anything that could be damaged. Kara got back with us within minutes of reaching out for a quote, and Dev came out shortly after that to come quote the work and gave a very competitive price. Highly recommend Men In Green.

    Kaily's is an enigma. I have to agree with other reviewers, that the initial communication is very…read moregood. We had the guys come out, review our tree removal needs, and give us a firm quote right there on the spot. Thereafter, scheduling was pretty easy too. They showed up when they said they were going to and started working immediately. From there, things went a bit wonky. They told us our job would be a one-day job. It turned into 3 days. Each day, the entire crew would just pack up and be gone, leaving each time and not communicating when, or even if, they'd be back to finish. Halfway through day-2, they moved our neighbors stuff around in their yard without their or our permission (didn't even talk to us about it). On top of that, they also messed up part of that same neighbor's yard dealing with the tree on that side of the job. The ground/grass there is pretty well destroyed, and they did not have permission to be on the neighbor's property. While expected, as we had some YUGE trees that needed to be removed (80-90 footers), our yard is completely destroyed. They did do a good job protecting our irrigation heads all throughout the yard though, even those right below where the huge trees fell. By the time they left for the 2nd day, still unfinished and not telling us when/if they'd be back, we were a bit exasperated. When we asked what was going on with the final piece of the job, the stump grinding, they said they didn't know and that it was a different team that came out and did that, and they had their own/different schedule and we'd just be worked in when they were available. Several days later, the stump grinding team showed up unannounced. They went to work on the stumps immediately, but left GIANT piles of sawdust in the yard where the stumps were ground. We weren't expecting that and calls/texts sent asking about it were not returned... finally they just sent us an invoice via email and we never heard anything else from them. We just paid the bill to be done with the job, but don't necessarily feel like we received everything we paid for in totality. Overall, they did the job, the trees and stumps are gone, and they didn't break anything that needed to be repaired, but we now have some additional work to the grounds (including our neighbors) that has to be done as a result.

    Kaily's tree service did a fantastic job removing two huge trees in our backyard that we're hanging…read moreover our roof. They had an excellent rates and once the job was scheduled they showed up and worked until the truck was full and they had to come back another day. The only issue I had was communication in getting the service scheduled. We had them come out and do the estimate super quickly. However getting a hold of them to get the work scheduled took multiple back and forths of text messages. Overall we are extremely pleased with the service they did; just make sure that when you get the estimate you are willing to schedule that day.
