Hills Tree and Shrub

I have not used Hills Tree and Shrub but I saw their truck park in a handicap parking spot in front of King Sooper’s and a perfectly able bodied person hop out and go shopping. I will make a point of not doing business with someone like that.

Greg also took my money and ran! You try to be a good and reasonable client and establish a relationship of trust and guys like Greg just stomp all over it. I paid him in full a week ago to remove a tree and grind a stump in my front yard. I was rushing back to work and they already had most of the tree down by the time I left, so I just paid him. Well they left without doing the stump and the left branches piled all over both my front yard and my neighbors. He was back the next day and did pick up the branches, but didn’t take out the stump.
I tried to call him multiple times and his voicemail box was full so I couldn’t leave a message. He then made the mistake of calling me from his cell phone to tell me he would be out first thing yesterday morning to do the stump. He never showed and never called. I texted him and he said they got stuck behind a tow truck in Highlands Ranch and if the didn’t make it yesterday afternoon, the would be here first thing this morning. I have texted him three times this morning (it’s now 11am) and no response and no sign of him
DO NOT USE THIS CROOK!!! It’s not worth it. There are plenty of good tree companies out there.
Update: I texted Greg to tell him I had filed an illegal dumping complaint against him for all the tree stumps he cut from the neighbor’s yard and left on my driveway. He had a truck here on 20 min loading them up. They worked on my tree stump for 10 min. Then left. After some back and forth texts, this was his final one. Very professional… not…

I told him I wanted a refund instead. No reply.

We hired Greg to do multiple things around our yard. They did fine with the tree trimming, but building a fence and landscaping not so much.
For the fence, our side is uneven but overall looks ok. Unfortunately our neighbor’s side looks absolutely terrible. They left her side a mess and she is having to hire someone else to come in and fix it as Greg never showed up again to remediate.
For landscaping, I asked that they pull some bushes out and weed before putting mulch down. Instead they just piled mulch on top of it. It looks pretty bad. Also, they had less than a quarter of the yard left to finish when I gave him his final check & instead of finishing it, they literally took the money and ran. So at 5 months pregnant, I had to go out and move mulch around the yard so it didn’t look so bad.
Overall, my neighbor & I had a very negative experience with Greg. We were more than patient with him and always nice. He would tell us he would be at our house in the morning and then wouldn’t show up for days. Or he would just randomly show up with no notice. He was cheaper than most, but there is definitely a reason for that.
I would highly recommend looking elsewhere if you’re looking for any outdoor work. He’s a nice guy but the work is lazy and not good.
