Show Me Tree Service

Whoever I talked to on the phone to ask if I could get an estimate was a complete ass. Bad day or not, was completely unacceptable. Don’t put your ad in a magazine if you don’t actually want business.

Show Me Tree Service cracked the hell out of my driveway and sidewalks by driving and using their loaded heavy tree service truck on top of them, They did not put down any boards or plywood sheets of any kind to protect the concrete, being a naïve homeowner I did not realize service companies are responsible for damaging sidewalks and driveways and new concrete is required at their expense. They left me with finger size chunks of concrete that had popped clear out of the concrete as it cracked and sunken freshly cracked sections of driveway & sidewalk concrete .
I recently had complete breaking off of the upper half of a large hickory tree the result of Show Me Tree Service’s pruning a tree. That trees center was a large rotten section especially at the break going right up to the big hole in the tree where Show Me Tree Service had pruned off a limb. I had another tree that originally had a limb hanging over my home that Show Me Tree Service also cut off the limb flush with the tree and angled to literally catch rain water. At best the cut off area healed an inch or two around the circumference of the several square foot cut-​off face, but the remaining square feet of exposed wood at the cut rotted away leaving a large hole, finally with hole on that side of the tree as to leave no doubt (the damage was all lined up running straight down from the big hole) it started losing bark, getting insects, and eventually it even had mushrooms growing all over it (again all in line with the cut-​off hole clear twenty feet high all the way down to the ground). When that tree failed to get any leaves at all after a the winter it was obviously DOA and I had to have it cut down. Instead of growing over and healing at the cuts, they rotted at the cut and the rot spread down. Unfortunately I believe of all the trees Show Me Tree Service cut large limbs off of none of the cut-​off sections have ever healed over. Sadly it seems like when bare wood (w/​o bark) faces the weather it rots and all literally goes down hill from there especially the rot.
