The assisted us with snow removal and did an outstanding job at a reasonable price.

Columbia Tree and Lawn Service did good work at a good price. Chuck, Lisa, and field crew were great to work with.

Charles and his team did an amazing job! We have a corner townhouse with a 45° HOA slope that drains rain water directly to the side of our house. After pointless arguments back and forth I am so glad I finally just handled the job personally. They re-engineered the slope, yard, and higher elevation points to work with the topography.

It’s a brilliant design that adds an aesthetically pleasing and organic look to the space. Charles and his team were thorough in their planning (calling 811 and handing buried utilities, marked problem spots I missed and gave advice on future considerations).

Looking forward to working with them in the future ⭐️

Had our Bradford Pear trimmed back. This is the second time Columbia Tree and Lawn have trimmed it and each time was totally pleased. Crew was friendly, efficient and did a great job. Area was cleaned before they left. Highly recommended

I recommend Columbia Tree & Lawn Service for bamboo removal. Whenever I need a future tree or yard service, I will be contacting them.

When we moved into our house, we had a small stand of bamboo in the corner of our yard, which gave us some privacy from the neighbors. We didn’t know anything about bamboo and we liked how it looked, so we left it. During the following years it spread like crazy, and I lost sleep worrying about how to get rid of it before it took over. I found Columbia Tree while I was researching on the internet, and I asked Mr. Peddicord to come out for an estimate. I was unable to have the work completed at that time, but he was kind enough to come out again later and update the estimate. We just had the work completed last month.

Mr. Peddicord is incredibly knowledgable about bamboo, and he has a very calm and confident manner. He explained bamboo growth and behavior and talked about the removal process and maintenance. He and his team worked very hard, and it looks like they did a thorough job--the yard looks so clean now! It was a two-day job: on the first day they prepared the dig site, and the second they did all the digging, debris removal, barrier installing, and grading.

There are two things that I am dissatisfied with, and I think both reflect an internal communication problem.

The first thing involves scheduling. When I was first given my appointment date, I reached out to the office to tell them that it would’t work—we would be out of town until that date and needed at least one additional day between getting back home and the appointment. It was rescheduled for two days after the original date. The reason I needed that extra day was to prepare my yard: I had some plants in the dig site that I needed to move, there were some other items that I needed to set aside (string lights, termite traps, etc.), and I was going to move the bricks, rocks, and pavers. However, as we were pulling in the driveway on the morning that we got back into town, we saw Mr. Peddicord and his team digging up our yard. Despite my saying that the date would not work, they showed up anyway. They did remove all the objects, but in the process they broke the string lights. And even though they ended up not having to dig as far as originally thought, they dumped all their tools on top of the plants that I was going to dig up and move.

The second thing involves the contract. The original contract stated that they would be seeding for grass. I contacted the office and said that I wanted that part taken out of the contract because I am trying to reduce the amount of grass in my yard and because I wanted flower beds and rocks. One of the areas in the dig site was an established rock bed that had no grass or weeds. However, they seeded for grass anyway. I did my best to blow and rake away the seed, but I already have grass growing in exactly all the places where I didn’t want it. I’d ordered plants to install in these areas and they arrived a couple days after the bamboo removal—I had no choice but to plant and mulch them, and now I have the extra work of trying to dig up/kill the grass that’s encroaching.

The price was reasonable for the amount of time and effort involved, and they were very careful while performing the work and cleaning up afterward. I have no complaints about the quality of work. Everyone was friendly and professional. If you have a bamboo problem, give Columbia Tree a call. You’ll sleep better knowing that you have a real pro on your side!
