    I was quoted a price of six hundred dollars to cut down a small tree and remove two stumps plus clean up the area. Tree was cut down and remove. The second Stomp was partially removed and left also the area was not clean up. I was given a date for complete removal of the stomp and clean up. As of today (06/11/2025) no show and no call back.

    Should have checked the reviews. They were to bring down two big trees, 1 medium tree and 1 small tree and cut out some dead limbs from the other trees. They were supposed to cut everything on the ground. I came home to dead branches not cut, 2 damaged fences, crushed lilac bush and only 10% of the wood cut. Excuses were... "we didn't think you would care about them two little fences". Left trees sitting on top of the crushed fences. Then he said "it was tight area so it was either your house or the fences". Keep in mind one fence is out back 40 yards from house. What reputable company tells you choose between your house or fence? Dean the leader of this trash outfit said the bush was a honeysuckle weed. A honeysuckle weed was growing in the middle of the LILAC BUSH but it was a lilac bush. He said that my trees had metal in them and damaged a chainsaw. He pointed to 2 black marks on two large tree stumps that they cut and told me that meant metal was there. He said "whoever planted them years ago put metal stakes around them to grow". If that is true what about the other 90%. Clearly no metal anywhere else. Certainly no metal stakes 100 feet up in branches! He said he was going out front to get his guys. I went inside as they were pulling out chainsaws from the truck - one of them was at my door with the bill. Since they were getting chainsaws I assumed they were going out back to finish so I paid...shame on me. Next thing I see them drive away. Called the other number on the card and it was the owner Deans daddy. he said he would make it right. Dean called me 5 mins later said he would be out Monday/Tuesday to finish. This was Thursday. The next week came and went - it was rainy and windy a couple days so I gave him the benefit of the doubt even though he wouldn't answer the phone. On Friday of that week he answered said weather put him behind and would be out Monday. That whole week came and went - didn't answer any of my phone calls nor did daddy.

    0/5! Terrible people. Charged me to cut down tree and remove stump and all they did was smash my neighbors fence when they cut my 60in wide at the base maple down in 1 shot without asking my neighbor behind me if that was ok. Ruined my neighbors yard too. Cut the maple into some pieces but left me to do the bulk cutting and removing. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE they will screw you over!!! They aren’t even local to my area. Got so many bad reviews where they’re from they have to move outside their city to continue to work. I’m in Toledo, Ohio. They’re based about 3 hours away from me. They have news reports about them and even had a news caster come find them on a job and ask why they don’t finish their jobs. Terrible people with terrible intentions. These guys are no good. Thieves!!!!

    Very unprofessional!!! Came to our door wanting to cut down one of our trees, gave us a great price (we thought). They cut the tree down, we asked for the stump to be grinded. They left and said they would be back the next day between 10-11am, they did not show up, we called them said they should be at our house by 1pm, never showed, then it was around 5pm they would be there, no call/no show!!! We should have know there was something when they said if we paid cash they would not charge us tax, if we wrote a check (which they had us make the check out to Clayton Anderson and the business card said Clayton Anderson Jr.) they would charge us tax. What a piece of work this business is. Warning all ----- DO NOT USE THEM, we still have a mess that was not finished. Glad we did not pay for the stump removal, what a scam!!!!!!!

    Extremely unprofessional. Neighbor paid them to cut my tree branches down, and misunderstood my statement of "what ever she cuts on her property line is her choice but don't cut past my side", and trespassed onto my property and cut 8 ft back off of my tree. When told thats tresspassing, they acted like they did us a favor by cutting our tree and cleaning their up. They threatened me to bring the cutting truck back in our yard and cut more down, " if that's what we want".

    Their name should be changed to Lie A Lot, they change the price that he quoted to us , started one day didnt come back the next day come the third day finished cutting down the tree and swore he would be back the next day to get the large pieces the wood and he didnt come back so we have a mess, One guy that cuts the tree ranked of pot, he went to store and come back smelling strong of it,and the boss told us not to call the office that they was dumb to call him, They take advantage of people I would never recommend this tree service to anyone..

    We are a church, and hired Care-A-Lot to remove several trees. They agreed to donate $500 back to the church upon payment and completion of job. They did not. Neither did they respond to our registered mail kindly reminding them of their agreement, which was in writing.
    We have never heard back from them.

    They removed three trees form our yard. Work was fast, at a fair price, and clean up was reasonably good. Everything was fine except their stump grinder threw wood chips to all four corners of our yard and on top of our roof. They raked up the worst of it, but we were picking up word chips here and there for a month.
