James Ryan Landscaping and Complete Tree Service

Jim was very nice- reasonably priced, quick, reliable and did a great job. Would definitely recommend and will be using again in the future.

He did great work and finised when he said it would be done.

His work was terrific, well priced and completed the job on time!

Responded quickly, did the work when he said he would, and fair price.

James was one of the few tree contractors who replied to our quote request, and the only one to make a firm and fair offer. James provided us with very good communication on how he was going to trim two of our trees and remove a third one which was not able to be saved. He came back to do the stump grinding within a couple of days, and also cut the tree that we could later split and burn the wood for our fire pit and fireplace.

The workers for James Ryan damaged my pool equipment. A tree limb fell and cracked a pvc plumbing line to the filter assembly. The worker denied doing the damage but eventually owned up and said he would have to pay for it. James Ryan said he is an honest businessman and would pay for the repair. He gave me $50.00 in cash and said he would pay any additional amount once the repair was completed by Aquavita Pools. I sent him a copy of the invoice to show him the total cost was $237.00. I have not received the additional money after waiting for three weeks. He has yet to prove he is an honest businessman.

Very responsive to inquiries about trees, bushes, clean-up etc.

I hired this company for two seasons in a row. I gave them a second chance and I had hopes of improved service. I was constantly charged for cuts that did not occur; it was an ongoing battle to have the invoices corrected (which they never were). The owner blamed it on his secretary. The first day they cut my lawn, the crew unnecessarily removed my 6 wide gate and placed it back on, backward. Believe it or not, it was a battle just to have the crew show up and provide the services that Mr. Ryan promised as a maintenance service. ONE DAY THEY MISSED MY CUT COMPLETELY BECAUSE THE CREW ACCIDENTALLY CUT MY NEIGHBORS LAWN INSTEAD. BTW, NONE OF MY NEIGHBORS HAD A FRESHLY MOWED LAWN THAT DAY. From my perspective, it seemed like a deliberate strategy of excuses, when they really just took on more jobs than they could fulfill with the size crew he hired. Could it be that the crew reported cutting my lawn every week when they really had not. It is possible. Either way, lesson learned - do not always take the lowest quote, because you get what you pay for (or in this case, I was asked to pay for what I did not get). I wish I could upload the multiple text messages with the owner to show just how lax they really were (at least with me).

Did not trim as much off the holly trees as I would. Other than that did a good job. Cleaned everything up. Rec'd an estimate to remove one & trim four maples. Surprised at the price, will shop around.
