I thought I would patronize a small local business. I saw "tree service" listed on a sign outside and went in. I was referred to someone and requested that all limbs be cleared from the fence line, was given a quote and hired them. The owner then insisted that certain limbs were still vital and didnt need to be removed and would cost extra (all 20 feet of which is now laying horizonatally in my yard). We then had a dog with aggression issues, but the dog was NO THREAT to them, I was open about the situation and about our trying to deal with it with our vet and trainers. I was trying to reassure them that I would not let the dog anywhere near them and was an aware owner. The dog was either securely on a leash and pinch collar or in a crate in the house. Not only did an employee threaten to cut my dogs head off with a chainsaw but the owner offered to shoot him in the head and take care of things the "old fashioned way". This was the regard they affored me after I'd been upfront and after I'd assured them and demonstrated that I would not let the dog near them. He was inside all day except for a brief, leashed potty break in an area they were not currently working in, the worker came around the back unexpectedly, I was at least thirty feet away from him, the dog barked a whole lot but wasn't big and couldn't get away from me.

Overall?
Didn't do a thorough job and were unpleasant to have near my home.

I may be mistaken, but I don't think this is a garden center any longer. You can't see any plants from the street (like you could when it was Steele's), and they don't seem to be open on Saturdays. I THINK they might be a mower repair facility now. Its worth a try if you want to check it out, and if they're no longer selling plants, they are not far from Blodgett's or Appenberry's - both excellent garden centers.
