Tomotto

Tom seems to be a smaller operation and I like that. I’ve got nothing against the big name in town, in fact I used them for many years. But I will say that it nice to have Tom come and deliver the wood and stack it by the back door for a reasonable price.
Now, if you’re the type of person who orders wood on the first day the snow starts to fly and want it immediately, you’re gonna have a bad time. But if you can wait a day or two, it is definitely worth it. Last week was the start of the Polar Plunge, and it took a few days before I could get wood.
If you think all wood is the same, and want the cheapest deal in town, you’ll also have a bad time. My delivery was a lot of oak, maple and ash, and this makes a longer burning fire than the softwoods like pine, cottonwood, and aspen.
Tom also does snow removal and landscaping, I can’t say much about this aspect of his business, but I’d be willing to give him a try.
Regardless of who you use, it is beneficial to know if you are getting a face cord or a city face cord. A face cord is 4′ x 8′, while a city face cord is… whatever the guy unloading seems to think is about right.

We bought firewood from Tom this weekend. He was responsive to email about a quote, offered a next day delivery slot and delivered on time. We’ll enjoy using the wood and expect it will live up to the quality his quote promised.

2 years ago my condo hired Tomotto to do our landscaping. We are in a 3 unit walk up with a small yard in the back. The job was to sod the back and to put rocks around the outside so that our dogs would use that as the bathroom spot.
Fast forward to this summer– our rocks are no longer visible and the whole yard is covered with grass. Whatever they put down under the rocks was not enough and all of the grass and weeds have come up. Not only that, but they did not put a border around the rocks and over time the rocks spilled over into our neighbor’s yard, leaving us with nothing but an ugly mess.
I called Tomotto back to see if there was anything they could do. After showing up to the condo for what was more of a sales call (tried to sell us on mowing and weeding service) they never returned my call to come and redo the work.
If you are looking for a cheap job, Tomotto is your spot. However, if you want quality work that stands the test of time, please call someone else.
I ended up spending an entire weekend pulling up the weeds and rocks and redoing the whole thing myself.
