  Rick contacted me after I had completed a request for quote to have my hedges trimmed. He said they were having a promotion offering 6 trims to be used withing 2 years for $799. But, it had to be paid for up-front, that day. I am embarrassed to say I bit. They trimmed the hedges and did a great job. Two months later when I tried to get them to come out, I kept getting promises; but they never showed up. In the end Rick stopped responding to me texts and would not take my calls. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH GUY. He has no qualms about taking your hard earned money.

  Ricky was in contact with my mother who needed 3 trees removed from her property. She paid the amount he requested, and 2 of the trees were cut down, leaving stumps and a large mess.Ricky had my mother sign in her slip that he was not responsible for cleaning up the tree debris, despite saying he would take care of it.She has been trying to contact him to have the third tree removed.The phone numbers he left her are magically disconnected and not working. I found this information after some investigative research with his older company name on the slip he had her sign.We have decided to move to using a reputable tree company to complete the work.

  I submitted a tree trimming request on ************* and Ricky ****** called within 10min saying he was in the area and could come by to check it out within an hour. I thought I had lucked out because I needed it done soon and he appeared out of nowhere. I told him I wanted a quote because l'd already gotten a quote from another contractor and he said hed beat it and he could start asap. I told him the quote and he did beat it by $200 and could get started asap, but he'd clean up the branches the following day. He ended up doing a poor job and then left a huge branch hanging on the power line and never showed up to clean the branches. I ended up calling ******** to come out and fix his work because it was definitely a safety hazard. I tried calling him several times to tell him not to come back, but he would never answer my calls.

  Do NOT work with Ricky F***** (All Pro Trees LLC). We did not read reviews before hiring. We had them come quote us for branch removal, tree trimming, bush removal and stump grinding. He told us he would get us a "great quote". We paid after 3/4 of the project was done and the plan was for them to come back to grind the stumps. He gave us his "personal cell". After reading other reviews online it appears he changes his cell phone numbers frequently. He originally kept giving us the "I'll send someone out next week, we are backed up" texts and now he is "out of the state" and does not reply to calls or texts. After reading other reviews, it seems as though he is a scam artist and no one will be coming back to grind the stumps they left.

  I hired Ricky F. with Badger Tree Pros , LLC to remove 3 trees on our Condo Associations premises. He took down 1 tree completely. The other 2 trees were partially taken down but their trunks left. He said he would come back the next day with a chipper to clean up the limbs and logs. He never showed up. The mess that was left was horrible. He never finished what he started and I had to hire others to take down the remaining tree trunks and clean up the mess. Do not hire him. He scams. He now answers his phone as Wisconsin Best Tree Guys. He changes his company name after scamming someone.

  This guy is a scammer. STAY AWAY, and don't make the same mistake I made. He is a fast talker, gave me a fake name. Called himself Ricky *******, and I found him later on Facebook with the name Ricky ******. He left a mess, never came back to clean it up. I had to hire someone else to finish the horrible job he did. He was suppose to cut the trees in 8 foot lengths and only did that to some of them. Left a walnut half standing because he was going to sell the wood and we were supposedly going to split the money. That never happened and I was only able to contact him with a text. Phone numbers and address were very evasive. His crew didn't have their own equipment except for chainsaw and used my rakes and ladder. But they certainly didn't use the rakes much because you wouldn't believe the mess they left.

  I contacted Ricky *** ****** (phone number changes quite often it seems as does the name he goes by) about a tree removal job at our home and he came over with a crew and ended up quoting the job in our backyard. He was a fast talker and before I knew it, the job quote had tripled. A huge red flag was he wanted cash or mostly cash to perform the work and the remaining amount he had me make out to one of his "associates" ********************************* for the tree removal. Of course the check was cashed within 30 minutes of me writing it.When it came to cleanup, Ricky asked for $250 cash up front and then just provided excuse after excuse as to why he could not come over and finish the job. He left our yard an absolute mess and I had to hire another provider (who invoiced and didn't request payment until AFTER the work was done) to clean up his mess. He tried to get me to Venmo him additional money because he does not have the equipment to perform these jobs and he was attempting to sub-contract out the cleanup to random people.Do not work with Ricky Falvey in any capacity. This man watched me rush home with my infant daughter in my arms and still proceeded to scam me out of another $250. He has no morals and is extremely spiritually sick. Stay away at all costs. If ever hiring a contractor, never pay any money up front or until the job is completed. I learned the hard way- please don't make my same mistake.

  Amazing work! Mark and his team were punctual, efficient and exceeded our expectations. We will have them back again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for tree removal and stump grinding.
