Advanced Tree Experts

Mr. Minnich (Advanced Tree Experts — Summerfield, FL) is an unreliable business man with a lack of ethics and character and should not be trusted or hired in any situation.
I hired him to trim 7 trees. Since it was raining heavily that day and his crew was ready to leave I didn’t get a good look at their work until the next day.
The next day I sent Mr. Minnick pictures and asked him if he felt the work was satisfactory.
His response was «Yes the bottlebrush has one leader higher in structural pruning its called the dominant leader, yours looks like that cause when you topped it four to five watersprouts come out of each one instead of regularly growing limbs that have all their parts so they function correctly. I can even them up better till next week. Ok? But then we are back to treating them like bushs. The ligustriums are gonna look different cause the magnolus in the middle is dominant and they are all interfering with each other but I thought they could use a little more taken out of them so I’ll get back there asap. But to be honest it might not be until next week»
Mr. Minnick never showed up to do what he said he would do. We communicated quite often and he made several promises but never showed up to do what he said he would do.
My recommendation if you do use him is to only pay part of his fee until you are sure he has done the job correctly and you are completely satisfied.
