Today, I called a tree removal company to have my diseased elm removed. When I got home from work, I was surprised to find it still there. Not as surprised as my neighbor was to discover that his tree was missing, nor as surprised as his children when they saw there was no more tree-house. FML

Today, my boss sent me to remove a tree from a client's home. So I went and cut down the tree, only for my boss to show up an hour later, speechless. I was supposed to remove a sapling that had sprouted through the driveway tarmac, not the 100-year-old prizewinning Japanese cherry tree. FML

Today, I spent a half hour trying to help my cat down after he got stuck in the tree on my lawn. I finally gave up and called a local tree care company to help. When I returned outside, I found my cat casually walking about by the door. The guy who showed up to help was not happy. FML

How can they be so reckless about that stuff and not even verify first? It takes a lifetime to grow big enough for treehouses. Poor kids. :/

You would think a tree removal company would know what a diseased tree looked like.

Similar thing happened to my mother in law--she hired guys to clear out the brush and overgrown plants in her yard. She came home to find they chopped down her beloved dogwood trees. How could they think that was brush/overgrown??

Wow talk about unprofessional! Did you check up on this supposable "professional" tree removal service company on Angie's List? If not write them up, they need to do a free removal for your tree and a give a huge apology to your neighbor!

neighbor should sue and you should get your tree removed for free. he should sue for the amount it would cost for a replacement and planting of a NEW tree that is FULLY GROWN enough to hold a tree house for his kids.

Sounds like those kids are getting a brand new tree house and your get a complimentary free service of yours. Seriously that a big mess up on the companies part. Do not by any means pay for anything. Speak to the CEO/ Manager and MAKE THEM PAY!!!! Well unless the address is wrong. Then your on your own.
