Furrs Tree and Landscaping

I used Furr's in May of 2019 to cut down / remove multiple trees, grind the stumps and trim branches on three large Oaks. I considered the job to be difficult because the trimming required climbing up 30 into the large Oaks, the removal of a large Walnut was 10 feet from the house, and the removal of a huge Oak was next to the driveway and only 40 feet from the house Considering this and the risk involved I never had any concern for safety or damage to property.

They had the knowledge, experience and appropriate equipment that was well maintained.

Upon completion they did an excellent job cleaning up. They were honest and professional the entire time and I will use them again in the future.

I am providing this review a year later because I was looking for Furr's contact info to do more tree cutting for me, noticed other reviews and felt it was necessary to provide a review for my very positive experience with them.

I signed a contract with Furr's to remove my oak and chip the Stump on 11/26/17 in the amount of $2300. Upon arrival at my home on Tuesday, November28, 2017, Joseph Furr told me he could not do the tree for under $5000 ,although his employee saw the tree and Joseph received a picture of it in advance.

He was rude, tried to tell me it was his employee's fault for pricing the tree too low and then said he didn't have the authority to sign the contract. When I tried to reason with him about this, Joseph stated he had the right to cancel the contract. He was rude and insulting to me, called me a liar about the home equity loan I applied for so I could pay for the tree removal. He did apologize between insults.

He continued to throw Mike, his employee, under the bus, said he was going to fire him, said he only knew him for about a month. and it just went on. I told him that if Mike was new, he should go with him to price jobs. Joseph Furr's fiance, Melissa, told me he would have done that but they were out of town on vacation.

Now to the truth. Joseph Furr was back from vacation in time to look at the tree. So Melissa lied. Also, Mike is his step brother who has a lot of experiance in the tree business.

Mike already informed his step brother, Joseph Furr, that he had lowered the price to help me since I am on a fixed income and had to get a loan. Joseph Furr received a picture of the tree in advance of the job which at first he denied getting and later admitted to. The entire experience really stinks. I took pictures of them to prove they came to do the work.

And pictures of them leaving without doing the work when I didn't agree to $5000. What a scam! The only positive out of this is that Mike is attempting to make this right by me on his own. We will see what happens.

The bottom line is DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH JOSEPH FURR OF FURR'S TREE & LANDSCAPING. IN MY OPINION, JOSEPH FURR CANNOT BE TRUSTED A complaint with DPOR in Virginia may be forth coming.

They were working on my neighbors house and stopped by asking if we need any work. They were working on 2 others neighbors houses which is the only reason I selected them. Long story short they did have the work didn't trim any trees, they did too the tree but I'm out 1000 for 1/4 job completion.

Great Job guys! Furr's was doing some work at my neighbors house In King George and I asked if they would come over and take a tree down for me that was too close to some power lines for my liking (and the power company for that matter) they came right over and had the tree on the ground and cut up into 18" sections in a matter of half an hour ( I wish I could have taken some before and after pics but they cut it down too fast) and ground the stump flat to the grass! more than i could have asked for the price negotiated! Not to mention its the middle of February right now and its about 15 degrees outside!!

They were very knowledgeable and even took the time to teach me some interesting info about the tree they were removing and other things to keep an eye out for (wood peckers, wood destroying insects, fungus')

Thanks !!!

They aren't the only rip offs out there. 95% of the tree companies are rip offs.

I called 6 different tree services for an estimate to remove a 2 foot thick red oak with some large roots possibly cracking my house foundation. I admit it was a BIG tree, but $6000-$7000 were ridiculous prices. The seventh guy (I can't say their name) because of retaliation from the first 6 just wouldn't be right. Anyway he/they did the tree for $2650 and $350 for the stump and told me before hand that they didn't remove the stump grindings so I used it as mulch.

Oh and no payment until the job was done.

I want to say their name but I can't. Darn it.

At about 2:30 on a warm August Sunday afternoon a huge truck pulls into our neighborhood and begins to grind up tree branches from a huge tree they must have cut down earlier. The noise was outrageously loud!

Neighbors were trying to enjoy their weekend in their yards and on their decks. I went over to talk to the workers and they were sympathetic and apologetic and said they would be done in about a half hour. Then the boss, Raul, showed up. I asked him what the deal was.

It's Sunday afternoon! He immediately got angry and defensive. Said it had nothing to do with me. It wasn't my property.

How dare I complain about him making money! (he said that twice.) I was flabbergasted (and then, really pissed).

There are lots of tree services out there. This one, who clearly can't deal with the public, does not deserve your business.

Contact: Furr, Joseph

We had this company come to our door and offer their services as they were doing some neighbors. They said they would trim the dead branches overhanging the driveway and others from trees in our yard. They offered to do it for $400, I agreed. However, they did not do as promised. They didn't cut almost any of the branches/limbs they stated. At the time only one of us was home and I was upset and questioned why he didn't do as he stated, he said well it would have cost more and I said but that is not what I agreed to. He said well he would've had to climb it and that wasn't part of the deal. I was angry and just gave him the check and told him to leave. My wife came home and was equally upset and walked across the street where they were still working and spoke with the foreman. What they did could have easily been done for $150 by a better tree service. She argued with the foreman who called his boss and reimbursed us a measly $100 for it. That is not the issue, we were upset that they didn't do as he stated he would have done when I first agreed to their services. Basically the work they did, I could have done with my own pole saw.

I then called the owner Mr. Joseph Furr to let him know that his foreman was lying to him about what actually happened and that neither of us were happy with the work. When I mentioned that he was taking advantage of a disabled veteran the day before Independence Day. He didn't care and was quite rude to me on the phone. Great customer service! Beware of this company and we have put the company on our do not call list with our HOA.

If you want to be a owner to a company, customer service is very important. Lying and not listening to your customer is not how one does business.

Oh and being told you were a real big company and then upon searching for said company online and nothing exists shows that you are not a real company at all.
