OR YOU CAN DO WHAT I DID to this spam delivering idiot. Save the flyers, make copies,and when they paper your neighboorhood next, write SUCKS on the flyer and put them on stop signs in your hood. I also take them off my neighboors doors. Once I even used one to wipe my ass, and sent it to them in the mail (NOT KIDDING!!!)

The primary problem with this company is not how they do bussiness as a bussiness but how they do the trees. All of the work that I have seen this company do is way below industry standards in the united states for proffesional tree care. Trees are stripped out to the very tips, flush cuts everywere and a total lack of complete saftey euipment for their workers. Tree care is unregulated in the state of texas and this leads to lots of proffessional damage to trees. If you want to hire an Arborist vist http://www.treesaregood.com this site was developed by the International Society of Arboriculture to educate cunsumers on the needs of their trees and how to select a Proffesional Arborist. Keep in mind also that much of the tree work that is going on in your area is in violation of city code. Striping of trees 19 inches in diameter and larger is illegal in the city of Austin - Hope this helps, Nevic Donnelly, Certified Arborist/Municipal Specialist TX-3272ATM/TOWC-0022

I have just sent my second e-mail to Good Morning Tree Company requesting that they stop leaving their flyers on my door. This time I copied the BBB. If I receive another I will be filing a complaint with someone!!

Update: Please read if you care about your trees

Because I had a bad experience with Good Morning Tree Company, I have contacted oak wilt specialists in Austin. I found out that this company has a bad reputation. Please note that it has nothing to do with the past history of the owner. They told me to warn other people and that is my only motive.

My first and only concern is that I don’t want my trees to get oak wilt.

Here is the phone number of the arborist at Good Morning Tree Company.

Her name is Brook. 512-496-5879.

Please call her up and complain. She has completely ignored me.

I paid them $3,355 and they have completely ignored my complaints.

Whatever you do, don’t use Good Morning Tree Co. While they were here, I kept asking them repeatedly in a polite way to please make sure that they cover the pruning cuts with pruning paint on my live oak trees because we have problems with oak wllt in our neighborhood. He kept reassuring me in broken English that they were doing it. After they left and I had given them the check for payment, I realized that they did a terrible job. They did not cover up the pruning cuts. I called immediately and complained to the company. They have completely ignored me.

DO NOT USE GOOD MORNING TREE COMPANY.

Whatever you do, don’t use Good Morning Tree Company. I didn’t know and don’t really care about all this stuff involving drugs, federal charges, etc. All I know is that these guys didn’t do what they were supposed to do with our trees. When I called to get them out to fix it, they said they wouldn’t until I paid them. Finally, I got them out and Sid Mourning showed up angry and disgruntled that he had to come back out to our house. When I asked him questions about the job, he cursed repeatedly and stormed off. To his credit, his foreman finished answering questions and supervised the job. Later, the same employee called me to apologize for Sid’s ridiculous and unprofessional behavior. Recently, we got a flyer listing us as a reference! I’ve filed a BBB complaint and will do whatever else I can to prevent anyone from using this company.

Sid Mourning can do (and often does) whatever he wants. He also had on his record a federal offense for which he spent years in a federal prison for cocaine distribution. He was/is married to a woman whose family is very close with the family of our ‘great’ president. Perhaps that is how he got the federal offense wiped off his record.

you may want to consider taking your information to the Texas attorney general’s office as a claim of deceptive trade as well.

There has been talk in our neighborhood by some people who would like to confirm that they are carrying adequate insurance before using them - however, we have just flat out told them - DON’T - use Good Mourning Tree Company OR Good Morning Tree Company there are nother legitimate tree companies who are NOT leaving trash all over the neighborhood.

****AN ENTRY FROM ANOTHER UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER ON “CITY SEARCH” WITH ONE OF THE MANY SPELLINGS OF THE COMPANY NAME***

Hour Late for Estimate, VERY Rude - Owner “Sid” is a Convicted Felon
Posted by bagadoritos on 02/19/2007

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! The guy showed up to my house an hour late smelling of alcohol. His flyer says “arborhist on staff” but no arborhist showed up - only two day laborers asking my wife what to do. Isn’t that what we pay the “arborhist on staff” to know? I spent nearly an hour with that honyak detailing exactly what I wanted done and he didn’t even have his act together enough to pass it along to his unskilled labor crew. The worst part: I called him to see if he could make sure a skilled professional was onsite before they started butchering my trees and he said “Forget it. I’m not coming down to South Austin for a residential job” and cancelled it. Which at that point was just taking the words out of my mouth. This guy is a dirtbag of the lowest order. I wasn’t at all suprised to find out he has a long criminal record.

* Pros: None.
* Cons: Very unprofessional. Very rude. Very Unreliable. Advertises skilled labor, uses day labor.
