Richard provided a bid and the next day he had the tree removed. I was amazed by the crews teamwork and how fast and efficient the job got done. Stump removal also went great. Absolutely use these guys if you need a job done.

I called Richard's Tree Service to get an estimate on a Monday. He left the estimate for me on Tuesday for when I got home from work, I called him on Wednesday morning to accept the estimate and by Wednesday afternoon the tree was gone! That is OUTSTANDING. He made this very easy and was very professional to work with. I will definitely work with him again in the future.

I have used Richard's Tree Service a few times, most recently to clean up a fallen tree and an overgrown area. I have always been very happy with the work performed. I would definitely use them as needed in the future.

Richard and his crew were professional and quick in finishing the job we had them do. He even went as far as to provide us with as mulch of the wood chips as we wanted. Additionally, my wife asked him to cut logs in different sizes for some projects she wants to do (read: what she wants me to do). Richard did so free of charge! We would definitely recommend Richard's Tree Service to our friends! In fact, we saw them right across the street just recently.
Response from Richard's Tree Service Inc.
"Thank you sir, it was a pleasure working with you! I have been wondering how your wifes (read your) projects turned out? They sounded really cool. Please let us know if we can be of any help in the future, and thanks again for letting us serve you!"

Richard called me the next day after I left a message seeking a bid. He came a day later on Sunday afternoon and quoted me a price. I hired him on the spot with a handshake. I normally seek many bids on larger projects, but I had a good feeling about this. He and his team arrived early Monday as promised. The team did a terrific job on the project. Clean up is very important to me and I let Richard know that during the bid. You couldn't tell I had any work done, other than the nice looking trees, because the team thoroughly cleaned the entire job site. After the job was done, Richard pointed something out to me I never thought about. He accompanied me out to the street facing my house and pointed out how nice a home looks if all the tree aprons are at the same height throughout the entire landscape. He expertly trimmed all the trees on a very large lot where all the aprons, or start of the leaves and branches up if you will, were at the same height. A huge attention to detail I never thought of before and makes the curb appeal awesome. I will hire Richard and his team again!

Provider hired to take down tree on my property.Tree fell on the neighbors property causing damage to that property. Provider did nothing to correct his errors or pay compensation to the neighbor for damages caused by the provider. Provider's response to inquires were mean spirited and very unprofessional.
Further, After submitting an initial bid and it was accepted, upon appearing on site he requested another bid which was almost double the original estimate.
Response from Richard's Tree Service Inc.
"This is completely untrue! My initial bid was for 850 to "drop tree into the woods" that I was told belonged to the [member name removed] by [member name removed] with no mention of a property line. The estimate included a senior discount after which [member name removed] went to Angies List and purchased a Big Deal coupon that plainly states is not to be used with any other discount AND must be purchased prior to an estimate which I honored anyway. Upon arriving at the job [member name removed] decided some of the logs would be too large and asked about hauling the tree away which did infact double the price of the tree, and was the beginning of the [member name removed] trying to con me into doing the haul off for free. After completing the job and placing everything in the woods I was told their grandson wanted the fire wood and asked if I could cut some of the larger pieces up for him to move, which I agreed to do AT NO CHARGE when I told [member name removed] it would be a day or so till I could get back by to do that, she refused to pay me for the work I had done until I came back to cut up the few logs I was doing for free. When I went to cut up the logs as promised, the neighbor came out and asked when the tree would be removed from his property. At this point the neighbor notified me that "the woods" were not the [member name removed] property and having had property disputes with them in the past was quite certain they knew exactly where the property line lay. I told him I was only hired to put the tree on the ground and that I was told the [member name removed] grandson was doing the cleanup and if he had questions he should contact the [member name removed]. I was later contacted by [member name removed] and he threatened that if I did not do the haul off for free he would sue me for damages. I told him I was not my responsibility to survey his property line but would work with him on doing the haul off at a reduced price just to keep everyone happy and be done with the situation. At this point [member name removed] stated he was a retired judge and was quite sure with all his friends in the courts he would win a law suite, and threatened to have his wife commit perjury by saying she had told me from the beginning about the property line. At that point I ended all contact with the the [member name removed] and turned it all over to my insurance to handle. Having spoken to other contractors who have done work for the the [member name removed], it has become apparent that the [member name removed] make a habit of defrauding people and threatening lawsuits to get services cheap or free. I hope anyone seeking my services who reads this review will realize there are unethical homeowners just as there are contractors and will let my reputation speak for itself despite this particular review."

I would give this company an A+ if I could. Richard came earlier to give me a quote of $650. Today, he and his team came to do the trimming. The first thing he did was have me walk with him around my entire yard so I could tell him exactly what I wanted trimmed. I'm very particular and only wanted certain branches trimmed and in some cases only part of the branch. I wanted to make sure my patio and other areas would still have shade. They did EXACTLY what I wanted them to do. They were very polite to work with. Very careful not to damage any of my hostas or dogwood trees in a large landscaped area under one of the large oak trees they were trimming. They cleaned up my yard as they went along. There was some debris on my patio, and I told them I would be glad to clean that up, and they said, no mam,that's our job. We have a sprinkler system and my husband marked some of the heads. We asked them to be careful. I don't think anyone could have been more careful or done a better job. Thanks

I contacted Richard's tree service last week. They called me promptly and scheduled appointment for bid. I received bid on Monday June 23 and they called me on Tuesday June 24 and scheduled work for the next day. All work was done as I requested. They are very thorough and the results look quite professional. I am very pleased! Would recommend to everyone! My yard looks great. They trimmed all my trees and bushes. They cleared my entire yard of debris.Looks like a new yard!

They were able to schedule the work within just a couple of days of me confirming I wanted the work done, after receiving bids from a few services in the area.
The day the work was done they arrived on schedule and had a team of 5-6 people working. It was amazing to watch how proficient they were at the job. It was completed in just over 1 hour.
I will definitely use this group next time I need tree trimming or removal.

My experience with them was pretty good. They did a good job for us. They did a thorough job and really the type of trees and how to trim them. They had a good experience of what not to do. They did a very thorough job and a very good job for a fair price.

Our yard slopes and runs into a small hallow. Richard had planned on driving his boom truck down to the lower part of the yard but was worried it might get stuck; it was a little damp from light rains a few days earlier. He and his crew removed all of the trees we had discussed and did an excellent job of cleaning up. I asked for the mulch clippings and was surprised to get a large truck load after the job was finished. I have a number of trees that will require trimming in the fall and informed Richard that we would be giving him a call. Tree trimming and removal is hard work especially in areas where a boom truck can not be used. Richard handled the situation on time and on the date agreed to. I will have no hesitation using him and his crew in the future. He certaintly appears to be a honest man that prides himself on doing a good job. I selected him based on reviews posted on Angie's List and was glad I did. He will get our future recommendations to family and friends.

"Thank you for your kind review but I believe you have the wrong Richards Tree Service, We are located in Illinois and do not do work in FL."

Company arrived promptly at the time and on the date agreed upon. They brought all equipment including a cherry picker required to do the job. Part of the work to be done was rather tricky large tree branch removal as it stood close to roof and over large open deck. The rest of the job consisted of several large tree limbs to be removed from various trees on the lot, dead wood removal and also removing a branch which intruded on neighbor's lot. All the work was done to our satisfaction, all debris removed from the location. We are very happy with the service and will not hesitate to use this company if the need arises in the future and will recommend them to friends.

I had used Richard's tree service before. What impressed me most was his knowledge of the type of trees I had. The trees I have need to be thinned and trimmed every 2 to 3 years without destroying their shape and he did a great job then which was in 2011 and I had him come back out and he did a great job this year. He called to let me know what time he would be there. He was on time and he went over what he was going to do before he got started. After he finished he called me back out had me look everything over to make sure I was satisfied. I have priced 3 other tree companies and all of them were between 100 to 200 dollars more expensive. I also liked his personality he appears to be a hard and honest working man.

One of our largest trees on our property was overhanging our roof with several LARGE branches...since another smaller tree had smashe our porch roof and done considerable damage, I wanted to remove another hazard. My wife did not want the tree completely cut down so I contacted Richard and he said he'd trim it for safety. He showed up with the tools and equipment and did a fantastic job of trimming 2 trees and removed all evidence they were ever there. He even cleaned a part of the gutter that tree junk had started to grow in. Plus, he got on the roof and completely blew off all the tree remains. A FANTASTIC JOB. I could not recommend them higher.

Richard was right on schedule and brought skilled laborers with him. He gave us an estimate the day before and honored what he quoted. His group was quick, efficient, and cleaned up nicely after the job.
Our trees look so much better and healthier!
We will definitely use him again. He is an honest upfront guy.

These guys came in like gangbusters and did a bang-up job. The work was done quickly and efficiently and when they left the only sign that they'd been here was the missing trees.
