Ted's Trees, Ltd.
3.7(51)✓ Verified
Most customers praise Ted's work quality and fair prices, with crews delivering on time and handling trees, shrubs, and hardscape well. The warranty is honored when customers can reach them. However, communication breaks down badly when problems arise: estimates get cancelled, follow-ups vanish, and the owner has ghosted customers for years after installation fails.
