    Duke Energy contracted Buford’s to cut the limbs away from the power lines by our house. The limbs fell and damaged my chain link fence in two places. We were at work at the time so we did not notice until later. We called Buford’s and reported it and the issue was resolved two days later. This company was very professional and offered a hassle free resolution.

    My experience with their work for Duke in the short time I’ve been here hasn’t been good. But I most say they did an outstanding job this time around on 25A in Belleview. 4/2/2024

    Left a huge piece of machinery in my front yard and when they finally moved it they tore up a huge spot of my yard. I usually would just fix it but my house was being shown by realtors that weekend and there was this machinery in the front yard. They came out to fix the yard but it didn't look any better than when they started. I don't understand how they can leave a huge piece of machinery in my yard yes inside the fence without even asking if it was ok. I wouldn't have cared if I wasn't trying to sale that weekend.

    The first two stars are for the "actual" tree trimmer crews, the last three would have been for the guy that forgot to use his blower and rake to clean up afterwards.

    Call the power company on this company every time you see them. They destroy, liter, and waste company time.

    Might be a a good tree surgeon, if you can keep the drivers from pulling out in front of you and try to run people off the road.

    Duke Energy hired to trim trees. So, now I HAVE TO hire someone to fix after Burford...

    Very rude employees to the point they were swearing at me. That was totally uncalled for. And yes, they don't return calls.

    Very rude and pushy employees. Parked the trucks anywhere they wanted, and completely butchered every tree they touched. One star is too much.

    No respect for property at all. Pulled out and threw our company yard signs on the ground and then proceeded to not only drive over them but walk all over them, as well. It was intentional and malicious. Shame on Duke Energy for doing business with these fools.

    They had the audacity to park their equipment in my yard and tear up my driveway along with the yard and park in my yard for 3 days without even asking me or paying me for storage. I have a 24 foot enclosed trailer that I couldn’t get into my own driveway with cause there equipment was in my way😡 no consideration at all. Guess I’ll be joining the club for negative reviews

    Working for Duke Energy 3/6/18 they have clear cut my privacy hedge row to the ground. They trimmed tree limbs and threw branches into my huge beautiful barely blooming azaleas and bridle wreaths for 300 feet along my drive, smashing them and beating off all the open blooms and buds ready to bloom. I am livid. I only got an apology and a promise to clean up the mess!
    What about the flowers that will take until NEXT YEAR to bloom again? What about my privacy hedge that would never have been tall enough to hinder power lines? Now everyone that drives by can see my not so private back porch and right into my living room!

    Burford is a fly-by-night outfit hired by Duke Energy. A large crew (8-9 men) came into our fenced backyard yesterday, to trim trees from near the power lines. Nobody on the crew spoke English, and communicating with them was next to impossible. Their crew knows how to climb, but they apparently know nothing about trees, judging by the way they cut the few branches they cut.. And again this morning, at 7:30, two of their guys came into our yard, UNANNOUNCED.

    GOING INTO BACKYARDS UNANNOUNCED, ESPECIALLY AT 7:30 AM, IS A GOOD WAY TO GET A DOG-BITE, OR SHOT.

    And they do not answer their office phone. Seeing all the horrible reviews they get, can understand why.

    I am extremely disappointed in the lack of professionalism from this company after finding them trespassing on private property in lakeland today. I walked out into my yard to find a crew of men had been dropped over our 6ft chain link fence and CLOSED AND LOCKED electric gate by the bucket lift on the truck. They said they were cleaning up the debris they dropped from cutting the trees back off the power lines from the road. Their excuse was, “we didn’t think anybody was home,” as if that excuses trespassing. The professional thing to do would be to leave a note on the CLOSED AND LOCKED gate apologizing and explaining the reasoning for the debris or trying to find a phone number to call to get permission to come on to the property to clean up. Going over a 6ft fence and closed gate without permission is completely unacceptable for any reason.
