Curious Choice of Company Name??

[Nickrosis]

"I think it's ridiculous when people use their first or last names in the name of their company.'

Yeah that really sticks in your CRAW, FOR Darn sure doesn't it?

Someone caught the sarcasm!

 

[rebelman]

Do your job, if someone wants a tree gone, do it

Clarence, shirley you aren't suggesting an arborist's job is to take trees down?

 

[Koa Man]

Mr. Crawford,
Maybe most of the guys didn't know the name of your company is Crawford Tree Service. :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[jmack]

Nick, people buy tree service companies that are named after the original owner, cause of the name. A good name is worth a lot, how about this, a company around for a long time in BC, called Joe Skillen Treetoppers was sold to a guy called Larry, he kept the name. This company doesn't top very many trees, the man realized he would have to be retarded to change the name of the most well known tree company in town. People that had known Joe since the 60s would be like "who the hell is Larry? Where is Joe?" Whatever works, hows this for a pompous company name "THE arborist", must be an ISA guy, the nerve. Speaking of last names how about Asplundh, in your face, biggest in the world, and utility, I love it.

and brother they love you too

Yeah Nick think about it, not everyone here knew you when you were just a glimmer in your daddy's :eye: !

 

[Nickrosis]

Nope, but enough of you do. I was hoping someone would get worked up and run with it.

Who the heck is Clarence and Shirley?:greenchainsaw:

 

[Nickrosis]

I think it's a tree company name in the works!

George of the Jungle is the local nitwit around here. He's a nice enough guy, just a little out there.

How about: Frayed Knot Tree Service

 

[jp hallman]

there's an outfit here called gutter-r-done. when I recently installed new gutters, I specifically told the contractor NOT to call them. I can't stand that crap, one idiot makes up a line, and suddenly everyone is saying it, putting it on the windshields of their pickups, etc.

Larry The Cable Guy didn't make up the phrase, "Get er' Done". That's a "common knowledge" phrase for several decades.

 

[begleytree]

Regardless, JP, you know what I mean.
Nice sig line BTW!

[M.D. Vaden]

I think it's ridiculous when people use their first or last names in the name of their company.

Yeah?

You mean names that sound something like "Davey Tree"?

Or M.D. Vaden?

pssst--hey Mario, Nick was being sarcastic--he works for his dad who named the company after himself!

re dAvey, I'll bet old John wishes (if you can wish from the grave) they'd change the name, to break the tie tween him and some of their present work in the field...

 

[Redbull]

Here in KC we got "Trees R Us". Ask Treejunkie, he can tell ya some stories about this yahoo. Its always fun to bid a job after this guy.

What's your problem with Davey?

 

[treeseer]

What's your problem with Davey?

The main office does some good work like with the katrina effort, but they've put out some crap too. The field offices are only as good as the supervisors and the staff. Down here the've liontailed some big trees to death, sold $10,000's of mtc on trees that were lost causes, trespassed to overprune, smothered and fertilized roots to death etc.

I told some of these tales to some of the ohio folks and they agreed that quality control was an issue. like any company, my own included, so I better not throw any more stones :blush:

 

[Nickrosis]

When you don't hear anything good about a company for a long time, you start to think that perhaps something is up. Or down in this case.

There is a Shamrock Tree Service in our area, and a disgruntled customer referred to them as 'Scamrock'.
