All reviews for Ballard Tree Service

Great experience

Great doing business with the Ballard tree service Family

Came out right away to assist me. Very happy with the service! Thank you again

Total five star service . When the man says there is no trees to big . The man means it .

Jim is a PRO! He came out to see the problem tree, gave an estimate, and when I called him to come and cut the tree down he was back same day earlier than expected. He did a great job in a risky area due to the neighbor’s fence and pool.

100% recommend his services!

I recently used this tree service to remove a couple of trees. They are very reasonable on prices. They got the removal done rather quickly and safe. Very professional, friendly, and on time with their services. I would definitely recommend using this company if you want a reasonable price for services and the work done safely. They had a cancelation with someone one day and were able to get my second tree scheduled and done that day they had a cancelation from someone else.

Ballard tree service did a wonderful job. They gave me the best price out of all the estimates that I received. Also, when they were done with their work my yard was cleaner when they left than it was when they came to do the job. I am very pleased with Ballard tree service and I would recommend them to anyone that needs tree work done.

We were extremely pleased with Ballard Tree Service. They were prompt, efficient, and very accommodating throughout the process. We highly recommend their services.

I was recommended Ballard Tree Service by a coworker. They did tree pruning and trimming on branches over my fathers rental house and suggested additional work that should be done to other limbs that were a safety concern. They worked fast to get the job done. I also needed a tree removed from my home and Jim gave me a quick estimate that was lower than most. They came out and worked fast and efficiently. Awesome job by an awesome guy!

I would recommend this company to anyone looking tree removal.
They gave the best quote, did a professional job of removing my tree, cleaned up, raked , blew everything away.
Excellent service, having them back out in the fall!

Never got back to me.

Very rude and disrespectful, I would advise to take your business elsewhere where they are more professional.

Heavier set white guy is very rude and has no patience. Very sad to see a male role model with no composure for our youth to have. I will pray for him.

Owner is arrogant and has road rage. Pulled a hit and run on my car. Guessing he had a bad day, but threatened to “beat me up.” Would give zero stars if it was possible.

5 year update!

I can appreciate a late response if you’re honest, but that’s not even close to the case here. You decided to drive in the oncoming traffic lane (towards live oncoming traffic, mind you) on Main Street in Munster, Indiana. When you failed to pass the three cars in front of me, you made the conscious decision to abruptly cut me off and clipped the front end of MY vehicle in the process. Considering it was a two lane road, I proceeded to pull over at the nearest intersection as to not block traffic, called the police and watched you drive off prior to their arrival. Please refer to the attached (time stamped) photos taken the day of the incident to jog your memory. In addition, you mention that you were driving a “chipper truck” but the evidence shows that you were in a company pickup truck. I hope you are doing well and are more mindful of your aggressive driving.

If anyone is curious, I still periodically receive correspondence from the company he was insured with at the time of the accident. I was informed that they dropped his coverage due to his refusal to acknowledge the incident or cooperate with the investigation.

Had stumps ground and that was done well. BUT driver choose to drive perimeter of my 3/4 acre property to get from one side of house to the other rather than go back to the street. This involved going down hill to wet area and leaving deep tire rut. Also drove all over my neighbors yard. Reply from owner was don't bother me with this garbage. Claims to have insurance but apparently doesn't want to raise his rate.

WARNING!!! DO NOT hire Ballard tree service. All seemed well in the beginning, good pricing, got the work done quickly but unfortunately they will not take responsibility if they damage any of your property. They took down some trees in our backyard and one of the trees fell on our neighbors fence. Both us and our neighbors have been trying to reach Jim and Rock from the company to repair the damage they caused but they will not answer our calls/respond to us. The only response our neighbor received was saying that Ballard did not actually do the work, that they contracted the work out to another company and we need to stop calling them. We were never told about the work being contracted out when we approved them to do the work. Doesn’t really make much sense for them to say they contracted the work out when they showed up in a Ballard tree service truck to do the work. They are not insured or approved by Munster to do work in the town. Unfortunately now we will be stuck with the cost of repairing the damages they caused. Save yourself the hassle. Pay a little extra and use a different company.

My neighbor scheduled this company for an estimate to remove some trees. Since they couldn’t access the trees from her property, they approached me about entering through my yard. Their plan involved taking down sections of my fence in three areas so they could move their equipment across my lawn and run over the plants and landscaping I had just installed this summer. I also have dogs that need a fenced yard.

I told the representative that I would not allow access, but he continued insisting that I was “the key” to completing my neighbor’s job. When I asked what would happen if the fence was damaged, he repeatedly brushed it off, saying only that “it won’t happen,” without giving a clear answer. He tried to guilt me into agreeing, despite the fact that doing so would have risked serious damage to my property for a job that wasn’t mine.

I stood firm and said no. He then called me selfish, at which point I ended the conversation and walked away. I wasn’t even his customer, yet he was rude and dismissive while expecting me to compromise my yard for my neighbor’s project.
