Rod’s Tree Service

Never even got past the estimate. Called them, they said they would be at my house between 8 – 10 am. I sat around until 12 then left. Came home a couple hours later and there was a business card in my door. All the other quotes I got were between 4 – 6 grand. They lost a big job. I won’t do business with someone who can’t even show up for an estimate on time.

I found this service to be excellent. Appointments were kept on time and I received estimates, which were lower than others. Men arrived on time, work was done in a professional manner.
I appreciated care that was given to my yard and the clean up was very good. Would use this service again and recommend it.

NEVER NEVER NEVER use Rods Tree Service. I asked for an estimate and Rod said he would call me back with the estimate. Well, it was quite the surprise when we came home and the tree was gone! We wanted part of the tree truck left to make a decoration but now we can’t. There was no invoice, business card, proof of who had even been there! Then he showed up out of nowhere a couple months later to remove the stump too!!! WTF? He wouldn’t leave and scared my kids. He threatened to «drop off wood» because we wouldn’t pay him. Time to Call Curtis.

I would give them a zero if that was an option. It took three times of them flaking before they finally showed up to give a quote. That should have been the first clue not to use this company. They finally showed up on the fourth try and gave a reasonable quote. Scheduled an appointment for them to come and cut down the tree, the appointment was scheduled for a Saturday. They called me on Thursday to confirm the appointment. The guy on the phone says, «i am confirming your appointment for tomorrow (Friday).» I told him no I scheduled it for Saturday as I will not be available Friday. He then says oh yeah it does say Saturday. Well can we do it tomorrow (which is Friday). I explained again that I would not be available on Friday and I will see them on Saturday. He says ok. I called Rod on Friday to confirm the appointment for Saturday and he said he would call me back. Rod never returned my call. Saturday came and they never showed up or even had the courtesy to call. Worst company ever! I don’t know how they stay in business. I should have learned from the previous negative posts from the other customers.

Never showed up for a quote! BEWARE!

My neighbors hired this service to remove a tree in their yard that was also hanging over our driveway. When I came out to move my car (at their request) I asked them to be careful of the orange tree that was near the one they were cutting down. The oranges were still somewhat green and I was waiting patiently for them to ripen. I went to the gym and when I got back, there was a stack of over two dozen oranges on my front lawn and underneath the tree. When I expressed displeasure, one guy said, «Yeah, they were still sour. I tried one.» They also said not to worry as there were more on the tree. I called Rod to complain and he quipped, «Oh sorry. I’ll talk to them about it.» No offer of restitution and no remorse. Later, when I went out to look at the tree more closely, I noticed that the reason the oranges had come off was because the workers had broken several large limbs of the tree, which they then cut off at the trunk. Another neighbor said that he had seen them drop branches from the other tree directly onto the orange tree. If you care about your property, don’t use this service. These guys didn’t seem to have the proper training about how to be careful when they chop down a tree. Removing limbs can be done with care. Just not by these guys.
