A-1 Tree Service Tree Service physically assaults our 60 year old neighbor Cincinnati, Ohio

We had Greg at A-1 come out to our home to give us an estimate on tree work. We had an oak tree that desperately needed trimmed up and some fertilizer injections, as well as a pine tree that needed removed because it was dead. After 3 weeks of trying to get the company over to our home to do the work, the office said that they would be here that day. We told them that we had furniture, etc. that we needed to move, and could we actually schedule something instead. The office was insistent that they'd be here that day, and the furniture wouldn't be an issue.

This occurred on a Friday. We came home from work to find our entire front yard (and part of our neighbor's) littered with tree limbs, brush, etc. There was no call from the office to explain the situation and no note left either. We called the first thing Saturday morning, left a message on an answering machine and heard nothing back.

Unfortunately, the saga continued: Greg and 3 other workers showed up to do the clean-up and finish the work they had quoted us. For the most part, they fulfilled what they had quoted us, however, there are still plenty of dead limbs left in our oak tree.

 While doing their clean-up, apparently they decided to blow our leaves, along with debris from the trees into our neighbor's yard. Our neighbor saw what they were doing and came outside to question why they were blowing their mess into his yard.

Apparently, Greg was upset that our neighbor questioned him, so he got up in our neighbor's face cursing at him, and pushed him, almost knocking our 60 year old neighbor onto the ground. THEN, a tall, thin man working with Greg came up with a refillable plastic coffee mug and hit my neighbor in his face with the mug. This "tree professional" literally broke his mug against our neighbor's face. Our neighbor said he was going to call the police and the crew immediately took off.
