Compared to other Co. owner I meet, Josh R. immediately put my mind as ease. I liked him instantly. He was confident, well spoken exerting a knowledge and experience without being overbearing. My work list entailed cutting dead (ski high) white oak limbs, that menaced my parking area. Second, removing a very large and mature swamp maple, well over its prime and sick. ‘Rivers’ main man ‘Victor’ the bucket man/tree climber was top shelf Talented, confided, bright with safety always on his mind as I watched. He as also very conciseness of the smaller trees and shrubs on the ground, as to not disturb them. Victor&Paul (the crew manager) said very little to each other during the big job of dismantling this huge tree. The work went very quickly orchestrated with out any issues. These men were PROS and had done this before. To see these heavy limbs comb down by ropes and pulses is worth photographing. It was a well seasoned crew of 4 and they worked like a choreographed team. Thanks Roger B.

Immediate and excellent service. They came out within a couple of days of my calling, in order to give me an estimate. They were much more reasonably priced than another tree company I called. They cut everything into nice pieces that I can use for firewood. Left the area very clean. Very pleased with the work and the price.

Josh and his crew were excellent, and went above and beyond what was asked. I am in the process of going solar, and needed several trees removed. Josh used his expertise to determine exactly what needed to be removed, and they were quick and efficient with the job. I would absolutely recommend their service for any tree or landscaping project.

Josh has helped me tremendously this past year whet it was removing a massive monster of a tree that had five trees meet at the base to avoid another year of raking the insane amount of leaves (lol) to removing several pine trees that split due to a summer storm or to cutting branches from a humongous tree to protect my new roof. Josh is beyond polite, patient and professional and his crew are incredibly hard working. To strongly recommend his services is an understatement!

Josh and his crew were phenomenal! Punctual, efficient and conscientious. I had two large trees to remove and a third to prune. Josh came by to give me an evaluation of my trees and an estimate of how much it would cost. His demeanor, expertise, confidence in his crew and price point won me over immediately. Josh pushed up my tree removal date by almost a week after the rain storm because he was concerned that the heavy rain might have softened up the root system, so he wanted to remove the trees sooner than later. This blew me away because he didnâ t really have to do that. I was on holidays at the time of tree removal and Josh kept me up to date with text and photos!! Phenomenal service!! I highly recommend Josh and his crew to anyone who is looking for a fantastic, reasonably priced tree service!! I will definitely continue to use Rivers Tree Services.

Amazing, very responsive . Second time I used them and very pleased with their work, attention to detail.. Josh and crew was fantastic, punctual, able to answer questions , deal with my indecisiveness and help me make decisions regarding removal of trees/ pruning etc. Competitively priced .They managed the disruptions caused by my elderly father who wanted to participate/ explain what they should do by listening and engaging him and two active dogs without interruptions . Will not hesitate to call again

Efficient and quick at removing a very large tree. Estimate was provided via text message without details. I wish I had asked for a detailed estimate with everything that was discussed broken down. Some verbal agreements discussed prior to work being done were not performed. Day of work they asked where to place tops of tree and branches. Showed them where which was about 20 yards from tree. Instead, branches were thrown over a hedge onto an area we did not want a huge pile of branches. A few other verbal agreements prior to estimate were not performed. My take away lesson, and I know this but didn't do, is to ALWAYS get detailed cost estimate for everything discussed no matter how small.
