    My wife and I recently used Uncle Fred's Tree Service to have a very large tree taken down at our home in Huber Heights. We contracted with them to 1) cut the tree down 2) grind the stump and 3) as stated on two invoices to cut the wood to a size that could be utilized in a conventional home fireplace. Firstly, the tree was cut down and the stump ground down only after I had to call them over a 2 week period to return and complete the work. Tyler who was leading a crew that he apparently had not notified the owner about and they were conducting the work without the acknowledgement of the owner. I know this because I called the owner to inform him of the situation and he was unaware of what was happening over that week-end with this project. I paid Tyler $3,000.00 cash that Sunday with the agreement being they would come finish cutting up the wood which was left in circular cuts ranging from 24" inches to over 36" inches around and never cut the wood any smaller. I did after numerous calls convince Uncle Fred's owner to send someone out and this person spent about 1 hour cutting and left my house. I have someone from another tree service who I am paying $350.00 tomorrow to come to my house and finish the job. My wife and I are retired military and additionally I retired from the Dayton Veterans Hospital after many years of service to our veterans. I am extremely displeased with the work of Uncle Fred's Tree Service LLC and would highly recommend that no one conduct any business with them in the future, especially military personnel, retired or active. This is a very unethical company that does not accomplish the job they were payed to do. In fact, if our military performed like this company we all would be in trouble as Uncle Fred's is a substandard entity that does not do the job they say they will perform. Warning to all potential customers out there be cautious if you deal with this company they are not to be trusted.

    The crew was great but the lead guy T****r kept trying to ignore the written contract...wanting payment before the job was complete, not cutting the wood to agreed upon size, "forgetting" to trim the second tree, and copping a lot of attitude when i pointed out the contract that he wrote. I do not recommend this business.
