First Coast Tree

I have a rental property in the downtown area that I call about a tree that I need removed. The guy who answered the phone said "We don't work in the Hood and we would not be interested in a job like that" the attitude was like we don't work with black people. I will never call them for work in the future.

I always call First Coast Tree to remove or trim my trees. I had a huge pine tree hit by lightning and I couldn't believe the logistics they used to remove the tree in such a tight spot and manage to leave my back yard looking like they had never been there. Absolutely amazing!!

Great company-Bryan is very reliable and you won’t find better service with another company. He showed up on time to our consult, gave me an extremely reasonable price (I shopped around-so look no further), and the four trees were cut down a few days later. Bryan let me know when he would be there and was even a few minutes early. He and his crew went above and beyond to make sure the area was cleared-even did a few extras like trim the hedges in a couple areas. They left my property clean and picked up after themselves. Another company just wanted to throw the trees in the preserve behind my house and was going to charge extra to haul them. Bryan didn’t even question hauling them away-it was included in the price. I can’t say enough good things about these guys-trust me, DO NOT look elsewhere. Call these guys every time.

Bryan and his team LEFT WITHOUT FINISHING THE JOB. They were supposed to remove a diseased maple, haul it away, and grind the stump. After he started the job, he asked me what the other quotes were and COMPLAINED that he charged me too little, even though I just accepted the price he gave me. He also said he would trim up the two other trees in my backyard, but then CHANGED HIS STORY to "I only said I would trim up ONE other tree" which I didn't argue about and just said ok to. The branches for that tree he left at my curbside, even though he had a huge trailer with the other tree parts in it he could have easily just thrown them in... this seemed EXTREMELY PETTY to me on his part. Again, I didn't argue about this. Even though he didn't finish the job on the day he said he would (because his stump grinding machine was reportedly out of service), I told him that's fine and he came the next day. I had told him previously that I needed to leave by a certain time to not be late and he assured me it would be done by then. It wasn't. I had to go so I went to talk to him and he told me that his stump grinding guy is on the way and to just pay him the money. I repeat, HE TOLD ME TO PAY HIM THE MONEY, he didn't ask me, he told me. I told him it wasn't personal but I would rather pay him when the job was done. We agreed that I would just pay him the cost of the tree removal which was complete at that point, and make the rest of the payment for the stump later when the job was done. I tried to be flexible so I asked if he could receive payment over the phone (to save him the trip), and he said he could so I didn't see a problem. I paid him cash for the tree removal. As I was leaving, his stump grinder guy was just pulling up, so he ran to my car and AGAIN TOLD ME TO PAY HIM THE MONEY. I told him no, I'll pay him after the job is done like we agreed. He got upset, told me I can "GRIND MY OWN STUMP" and to "NOT CALL HIM EVER AGAIN." He got his team and rushed outta there without finishing the job. The picture is the final result. HE WAS EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL. HE DIDN'T FINISH THE JOB. If you don't mind being treated poorly and are ok with paying for an incomplete job, then BRYAN IS YOUR GUY. Otherwise, BEWARE OF FIRST COAST TREE!!!
