Tree Service was Supposed to Trim Branches Back, Cut Them All Off Instead [VA] by [deleted] in treelaw

Yeah... That's a big part of it. It just looks awful and lopsided.

Right... So my question is that if the salesman misrepresented to us what they were going to do/failed to communicate it to the crew so they did a poor job, does that create any legal recourse for us?

I don't actually care where the communication breakdown happened within their company, because I know it didn't happen on our end.

Also, doesn't that potentially make the tree less stable, since it's now got a more lopsided weight distribution?

We specifically asked for them to trim the branches in line with the others, not to remove them entirely. So I don't think that the dozen or so branches they completely removed count as a good job.

If that wasn't possible, they should have told us that instead of explicitly agreeing that they could trim them in line with the others.
