MLS Tree Service

I had Jeff Doyle come to my house for an estimate on 5÷22÷15. I wanted to schedule the work, but he said he needed to come back out to make sure everything was covered cause he only wrote the large items on my estimate and I had other bushes/​smaller trees on my list. He came back out on 6÷26÷15 cause that is how long it took after storms etc to find the time. Then he said 5 to 7 days for them to get to our house for the work to be done. Well, if I would not have called and set up 7÷13÷15, I don’t think they would have called. Well needless to say after scheduling my work schedule around them, moving everything out of the way, they never showed up. I tried to call at 3:00 PM, and Jeff answered and said, «Hello this is Mark», I know it was him!!! When I said we had a job scheduled and nobody called or showed up, he acted like he couldn’t hear me and hung up. I called back and it went into his voice mail. I have been waiting to get other jobs done at my home until these large trees were removed. They have put me back almost 2 months now. I tried to be patient with him as emergency cases do come up… but be up front and stop leaving me hanging. I would NOT recommend them unless you want you trees taken out at Christmas… Oh wait, they may not call you then either cause of the holidays.

I’ve used MLS Tree Service on three jobs at two different houses over the years. I highly recommend them. Jeff Doyle came out promptly and provided an estimate. He was very professional and accessible. The team and Jeff walked me through what was to be done. For all jobs, there were gotchas (neighbors’ properties, time crunch) and they came through. The team was also very professional and did a great job. They cleaned up the yard afterwards. Last time they even fertilized a few trees for free that «really needed it». All local guys. I would definitely used them again.

Once again, Jeff Doyle proved himself to be a liar. I had to hire a second tree company to actually treat my trees for the diseases they actually had, unlike the granules Doyle had his men spread on both occasions he came to my home. Doyle lied to me about his credentials and training, lied about what was wrong with my trees, lied about his «treatments», and finally, lied about how to plant trees properly.
Doyle told me that trees needed to be planted very deeply, and he planted my saplings that way. I had seen on TV, and read in books, and was told by experts that planting a sapling deep (above the root flare), would kill the tree. Fungi and bacteria from the soil will enter the bark and infect the trees (which has begun already).
Yes, Jeff Doyle will look you straight in the eye, tell you anything at all, lie about his credentials and training, and take you for all the money he can. He has his employees lie for him. When he was refusing to return my calls or fix what he didn’t do, or refund the money he promised me. He had one of his employees call me back and tell me that Jeff was in Florida and had sold MLS Tree Service to him. They he stopped returning my calls as well. I now see that Doyle is still writing bogus positive reviews of his company as well. So, my assumption is that he is still the owner.
If you are independently wealthy and can support Jeff Doyle and his employees, then by all means, schedule «work» with him. If not, hire a real professional with real credentials and training, who knows what they are doing.

It’s been over a month since I sent them an e.-mail and then a phone call and still haven ‘t heard from them. If you’re too busy to answer my call, you don’t need my business.

Love these guys!
While visiting my mom in Livonia, a bad storm blew through and took a huge 20+ foot limb off one of the trees on her property. This branch crashed through some other trees and landed partially on a neighbor’s fence leaving us with a big mess and the need to call someone.
My mom has used MLS before so I called and got in touch with Jeff Doyle, the owner, who said he would be out that same day to take a look.
Well true to his word, he showed up, evaluated the situation and said his team would be out the following morning to fix the issue.
His team showed up right on time, evaluated the situation again, walked us through the work that was going to be done and got started. The limb was removed not only from our yard but they hopped the fence and cleaned up the neighbor’s yard. But here’s the big kicker– they even fixed the fence so that we didn’t have to call someone to do that! Love when companies go the extra mile! They also cleaned up all the debris and trimmed the trees that had gotten damaged by this fallen limb.
Prices are reasonable (ask for the senior discount if it applies) and the workers are personable and friendly. What more could you ask for?
Next time Mother Nature pulls a fast one, or if you just want some TLC for your trees call MLS. Your trees will thank you!
