Contra Costa Tree & Landscaping

They sell firewood on craigslist, their add had pictures of firewood, a fire burning, and the word HOT in flames. I ordered ½ cord of almond. I staked the wood, measured it and it was only ¼ cord, (32 cubic feet). I called them back and they said bring it to the driveway and they will take it back. They came took the wood and handed me my check (thankfully).
Bottom line is they will rip you off if you let them. Measure your firewood before its unloaded.

I do Weed Abatement, been doing it for about 20 years with a few off here and there. I place my ads on CL and do some flyers in the areas that I have repeat clients, some clients I’ve had for several years. Last year I started noticing that my flyers had been removed and these guys putting theirs up! So I called the number and a woman answered, asked her if they do «Weed Abatement», she said her husband does it, so I asked her to ask him to stop taking my flyers down, that there was plenty of work for all of us… well, she went into instant ignorant & foul language before I could get another word in, I told her she was a rude b***h and hung up. A few hours later, a man called me and threated to «track me down and kill me for calling his wife what she is» Sabrina Martinez Davis… you should be more professional in your ways… it will come back to you ten fold… Your unprofessionalism and lack of class, both on the phone and in your sneaky business practices only leads me to believe that you are just pathetic, dishonest people with low morals and that you will cheat and lie to get ahead. I CANNOT WARN PEOPLE ENOUGH ABOUT THESE LOSERS! I only put 1 star because you cannot give negative stars… too bad.

We’ve used this company for two years now for fire abatement. We have a steep hill on our property, but they’ve had no problems mowing it entirely. Easy to book, easy to deal, on time, quickly and thoroughly done. It is an expensive service, but we’ve found nothing like it for cheaper.
We will continue to use them.

I have been buying firewood from this company for the last three years. Their almond wood burns hot and clean. They stack the wood, too. Reasonably priced for wood and stacking

We found them on Craigslist after another firewood vendor flaked.
What is it with firewood vendors?!
We’ve purchased from them twice; ½ cord each time. Once in October 2010 & the second time was the end of December 2010. They are a family business; a husband, wife, son & daughter team and quite ambitious. Sabrina, the wife, handles the business.
The first time I ordered, when speaking to Sabrina on the phone I asked if they had kindling available. She said she’d bring some along — when they arrived and I asked, she apologized saying she forgot.
They stacked the wood nicely and we settled up. The wood was nice quality and burned nicely.
The second time I ordered I asked again about kindling. Sabrina assured me she’d make it up to me for forgetting last time. Since we had some heavy rain in late December, I asked if the wood was dry. Sabrina said they only sell dry wood so I left it at that.
Sabrina had to reschedule the delivery stating her husband was in the hospital. I was understanding and reminded her that I needed kindling. This time, her son and another young man delivered the wood and didn’t bring the kindling. The son said his mom (Sabrina) didn’t write kindling down on the order …
After they stacked the wood, I measured the pile because it looked short. It measured 4′ x 8′ and the average log length was 15″. My calculations is this is actually less than ¹⁄₃ cord. I called Sabrina and it went straight to voicemail.
That evening, I tried to light a fire and it wouldn’t light like the previous delivery. It seemed damp. I called Sabrina again later in the evening explaining the issues and she became indignant. Sabrina said they were out of kindling. She said she was at the hospital dealing with her husband (I had no way of knowing). I said under the circumstances I’d get back with her later to resolve the matter.
I called Sabrina the next day and she became indignant again. It seems she uses an offense as a defense and hung up. I called back later and her husband answered (the one who was supposed to be very sick in the hospital) and he was extremely aggressive and threatening. So I recommend avoiding this vendor as there are many good & reputable sellers out there eager to earn our ongoing business.
Caveat emptor ~ Measure the size of the wood delivery and check closely if it is damp.
FYI: A cord of firewood measures 4′ high x 4′ deep x 8′ long. ½ cord is 4′ x 2′ x 8′.
