On May 10, I met with the owner of MS Wesley Tree Service, at my home, to show him the trees on my property that I wished to have routine maintenance trimming done, in addition to trimming trees along my driveway to provide better vehicle clearanceThis is a service I have done every 3-years, but this is the first time I've used this business for tree workI was explicit in detailing the areas/trees I wanted trimmed and walked my property and showed him the specific areas/trees that needed workHe sent me a bid later that day ("Tree Trimming...$2337.50") for the tree trimming and driveway clearanceHis crew came on May 22, to perform the work, however the owner/arborist did not accompany them The most important piece of equipment they brought (the boom-lift/bucket) was too large for the driveway so they couldn't use itInstead, they accessed the trees from the ground and by climbing in them, but were unable to get to all of the branches which needed trimmingAs a re

I am rejecting this response because:The wood cutters asked to have permission to enter our property before they began cuttingThere was no reason to give them permission to drive their equipment on to our property to do the cuttingIs there some unwritten law that gives wood cutters permission to allow a tree to fall on a neighbor's property when they are cutting it on someone else's property? Yes, we told the man he could not come on our property to cut the treeNo, the man did not come and accept responsibility for a tree falling on to our propertyThose are two very different itemsThis would be setting the rule that if the TREE FELL ON OUR HOUSE that the company would not be held responsible any more than the fact that the tree fell on our fence and on to our propertyThe man did not ask permission to come on our property to clean up afterwardHe asked permission to come on our property before they began cutting

Great job Tree removal was fast, clean and very professional

Good morning.Our Company has no reason to lie about anything and we are very suprised by the accusations that are ocurirngWe always ask the surrounding neighbors if we can have permission before going onto their propertyOur employee *** did ask the gentleman that was in his back yard and he told him noHe words were " no way in hell"He told our employee that his insurance says that no one is allowed onto his property due to them not being covered by their insurance to be on the propertyOur employees did call us about this because they were concerned about leaving the wood on someones propertyWe get a lot of positive feedback from the Community because our clean ups are typically above average. I do apologize that in my previous response I said "She instead of "he"And I wish that that our employee had spoken to the lady complaining instead of the gentlemen firstBut I do have to say if they were home and seen the work being done that day and did not want the wood on their prooperty that they had every chance to ask us to please remove it rather than wait for us to leaveWe worked there for two days and would have gladly cleaned it up while we were there.If we made a habit out of not asking for permission before entering someones property we would have a lot more complaints on the Revdex.com site and lawsuits against usAlso, if we left wood onto someones property on a daily basis the same complaints wood occurAlso, the fence was never broken or we would have fixed it right awayThis complaint was never told to us on the phone and this is the first that we have heard about it on the Revdex.com complaintI am sorry this lady is upset but we do not understand why our company should have to suffer a complaint for their regretsAlso, she is correct on the $charge for coming back outThis is a standard charge our our industryIt would have been free if we had permission while the work is being performedWe cannot pay out with no money coming in to run the companyI hope that you can understand and really take this into considerationIt is not our intent to be unreasonable.Have a nice day.Sincerely,*** ***M & S Wesley Tree Service

Hi, we would be grateful for a phone call reguarding this complaint. This complaint is completely  inaccurate. We have plenty of witnesses that this person told our employees that under NO circumstance were we allowed onto her property to pick the wood up. Our company ALWAYS asked for...

permission before entering onto a property and they told us no. We do this work everyday with our community and very rarely will someone tell us no to cleaning up wood. She is not the client that hired us to do this job. We have never done business with this lady. We feel this is a neighborly dispute and she is angry with us. Again. we DID OFFER to clean this up and she had the choice and refused. We cannot understand why she changed her mind days later and would like an apology? This is not necessary to ruin a businesses reputation over. Thank you for your time.Sincerely,  [redacted]

We do apologize for the oak limb that had fallen on the other side of the fence. No damages had been done to the fence; only a limb had fallen. Normally neighbors are happy to give us permission to clean anything up that goes on their side, but we were told that it was an insurance issue that under no circumstances, so we do not go on someones property without permission because that is against our company policy. We were asked after we left to come back, which would be a 30 minute drive back up to go get this limb. We would be happy to have done it while we were completing the job because that was the job at hand, but once we leave, it costs a lot more for us to have to send guys back with the fuel costs and over head. We said we would be happy to for the $250/hr to cover the overhead. I spoke with [redacted] that talked to Mrs. [redacted] and he said the husband was in the back yard, so if she could kindly talk to her husband about how he had told [redacted] we did not have permission that would be great.

Review: I paid Wesley 1500.00 to take down 2 large oak trees. I told him where the wood was to be placed and it was to be in 16in rounds. There were some that 22 7 26in. The 2 crotches were huge, probably 3 to 4 hundred lbs ea.

His crew did not place the the rounds where they were to be and in crushed 3 oleander plants and destroyed a planter. They left after dark and the next morning I went out and found the biggest mess. I had to hire 2 men to finish getting the wood and cleaning our yard.Desired Settlement: Return 500.00 of my money that it took to clean up a very very poor job.

Initial Business Response

Mr. [redacted] had recieved a estimate for work to be done at his home to remove two large oak trees for a price of 2500 dollars, this would include the removal of all debris and wood as well as having the stumps cut as low as possible. Mr. [redacted] was unhappy about the price, so he called in to the office later

asking us to reduce the price. Our office felt it would be ok to help out a repeat customer so it was then approved by our office to do the work for 1743 dollars, this would include the removal of the debris and wood. Mr. [redacted] still was unhappy with the price so he asked us if he could pay 1500 dollars and we could leave the wood so he can sell it in the future to try and make money back. Our company approved the price for him and scheduled the work to be completed. Upon arrival at Mr. [redacted] home he asked us to move all the wood to the left side of his driveway, which was never previously discussed, so we told him that normally this would cost extra because it takes more time but we would help him out. Our crew set up the work zone to protect people and property by placing plywood over the grass and rocked areas, as well as garbage cans over smaller delicate plants and cones over sprinklers. We did the work that we agreed on and our crew was very respectful and helpful to this client as they always are. Mr. [redacted] was very disrespectful to our staff and verbally abusive to our foreman and office manager because he felt that wood down to the 1 inch diameter should be cut into firewood and left there instead of going through a 12 inch chipper. Our foreman explained to Mr. [redacted] that this would take to much time for the job and it should have been discussed with the estimator prior to work beginning. At the end of the job Mr. [redacted] expected our crew to move all of this wood to his neighbors property at this time it was explained again to Mr. [redacted] that this was not in our description of work and it would be easier to remove the wood than to keep moving it around. Mr. [redacted] property was protected, the contract was fulfilled and extra work was done at a already discounted rate at no extra cost to Mr. [redacted]. I feel Mr. [redacted] felt he made a mistake in wanting the wood after he figured out how big and heavy it was. He could have paid the price on the contract and had the wood removed for a extra 243 dollars so I do not understand why he would pay someone else 500 dollars to remove it later.

To sum this up I feel Mr. [redacted] is a very unhappy person and nothing can make him happy, he is a client that I do not wish upon any company. We will not do any more work for this man in the future due to his verbally abusive anger issues. He called our Foreman a little f[redacted]. This is a very unfortunate circumstance. We tried to help Mr. [redacted] more than once. I feel he is trying to take advantage of our kindness. In which makes it very difficult for business owner's to keep their reputation that we work very hard for. Thank you, for your time and understanding.

Review: M&S Wesley is a tree removal company who chopped down two oak trees on the lot next to my property and allowed one part of the tree to fall on to my property and break the fence between the two properties.The company made no attempt to remove the tree from our property. When an attempt was made to communicate with the W&S Wesley by contacting the property management company who is handling the rental of the property where the trees were cut, the Wesley company claimed that they knocked on our door and asked permission to come on our property and remove the wood.That is just a lie. They did not knock on our door and ask to remove the wood.They claim that we refused to let them remove the wood and since they will have to come to our property they will charge us $250 per hour to remove the wood.The tree that has fallen on our property is a FIRE HAZARD. It is a large pile of limbs with dried leaves and a large stump that the limbs are connected to.This company believes they can chop down trees and allow them to fall on other peoples property and then take no responsibility for removing the trees that fell on the property.This company promotes the belief that they should be able to lie about the situation in order avoid responsibility.The fact is that this company did ask to bring their wood cutting equipment on to our property so that they could cut from our side of the property BEFORE THEY BEGAN CUTTING THE TREE. We told them that they could not cut the tree from our side of the fence. We did not know that they planned on having the tree fall onto our side of the property and then leave it here.This company needs to complete the project of cutting the two oak trees by cleaning up the mess that they made on our property.Desired Settlement: We want the company to apologize to us for allowing an Oak Tree to fall on to our property and then failing to admit that they were committing a problem during their project, and we want them to come to our property and remove all of the tree in a clean and timely fashion. And they need to assume all financial responsibilities for the damage that they did.They need to apologize for telling us that we need to pay them to remove a tree from our lot that they caused to fall on our property.

But I do have to say if they were home and seen the work being done that day and did not want the wood on their prooperty that they had every chance to ask us to please remove it rather than wait for us to leave. We worked there for two days and would have gladly cleaned it up while we were there.If we made a habit out of not asking for permission before entering someones property we would have a lot more complaints on the Revdex.com site and lawsuits against us. Also, if we left wood onto someones property on a daily basis the same complaints wood occur. Also, the fence was never broken or we would have fixed it right away. This complaint was never told to us on the phone and this is the first that we have heard about it on the Revdex.com complaint. I am sorry this lady is upset but we do not understand why our company should have to suffer a complaint for their regrets. Also, she is correct on the $250 charge for coming back out. This is a standard charge our our industry. It would have been free if we had permission while the work is being performed. We cannot pay out with no money coming in to run the company. I hope that you can understand and really take this into consideration. It is not our intent to be unreasonable.Have a nice day.Sincerely,[redacted]M & S Wesley Tree Service
