So i found out today that a job i was told i had, was done by another tree service last week. I know the ladys neighbor, and he told me that this cut throat tree service was there last week. My bid was $3800. Had to remove 2 pines that were 30' tall, 2 norway spruces that were 65" tall and a pretty big silver maple that was spread out all over her and the neighbors yards. Seven stumps needed to be ground, including the maples that had ruts above ground out to about 18' diameter. Found out this other tree service did it for $1200. I almost fell over when i heard the number. The lady never called me. I called her today, saying i would be there next week, and she called me back and said her husbands friend did it. But what she dont know is that i know who did it. WTF is wrong with people. NCtree knows who i am talking about. From what i hear, daddy gave the guy money to start a busines. There website says they have been in business since 1990, and they have a 30 ton crane, 3 bucket trucks, 5 chip trucks, dump truck, 2 pickup trucks, 4 skid loaders, petibone, and 6 chippers. Everything looks brand new. I dont know how they do it, with charging next to nothing. I really feel like calling them up and #####ing them out about low balling everyone.
Had a run in with them a few years back, and they did a ground 2 48" stumps that had metal fence posts in them for $60 each.
