He is prompt. He does what he says he will do but his prices have really gotten too high. They always come when they are supposed to. They do the service without any problems. My only concern is their prices have become high. I would tell a friend that they do what they say they are going to do but I would suggest that he/she make a research to see if he/she could find somebody that is a little more reasonable. I will continue using him until I find somebody who is more reasonable.
Description of Work: They treated my pin oak with iron the last time.

The staff was very efficient and cleaned up after themselves. The only issue was the delay of several weeks from the time we expected the work to be done and when it actually happened.
Description of Work: I had a tree trimmed.

Removed 7 trees and did some triming. All employees were polite and knew what they were doing. Totally cleaned up after themselves. Was willing to do some additional triming we hadn't talked to him about before while they were there. Was able to give estimated price of the additions on the spot. Great service and very pleasant people.
Description of Work: Arrived on time, finished on time. Price was very fair. He did several things we were not expecting like leveling and raking the site of the tree stumps after they had been ground out. Removed several limbs. Exceptional service like you don't usually receive. Would definitely use them for any tree services we need in the future.

I felt that they were honest about what needed to be done to the trees. They cleaned up afterwards and did not leave any debris. They gave us advice on the condition of the trees that we have and the shrubbery that should be removed. They came when they said they would to do the work. I will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Richard Glover's Tree Service to trim all of our trees and they took out some shrubbery.

He is not cheap, but it depends on what types of trees and what you are having done. He is nice and I have used him for about 20 years. He is a sweet man and he knows trees.
Description of Work: Richard Glover's Tree Service came in the fall. He comes periodically to check my trees.

We have used Glover's Tree Service for years, and have always found Richard to be professional, knowledgeable, and offer fair prices. A week before he sprayed the bagworms, we asked him to come by and check a white pine that was looking poorly. He stopped by the next day, and as we weren't home, he called and left a message. There was nothing he could do to help the tree (many services DO something they can charge you for, even if they know it will do no good) and he didn't charge us for the visit to our house. The next week we called him to come and spray for bagworms, and he was here the next day. Dead bagworms make me smile! :-)
Description of Work: One day we noticed the dreaded BAGWORMS on a large arborvitae beside our patio. UGH!! Nasty little critters. We called Mr. Glover and left a voice mail. He was out the very next day and sprayed our 4 arborvitae and a very large blue spruce in the front yard for $107. The little monsters are already dead 24 hrs. later. :-)

We have used his services for 20 years and continue to do so. He's very good.
Description of Work: He has fertilized our trees in 2 houses for almost 20 years. We kept our pin oaks a lot longer because of his care. However, it was not cheap to give them injections. I think he knows his trees and takes good care of them. He sprays to prevent disease from insects also. We currently continue to use his services. The price varies depending on what he does.

Mr. Glover has been treating our oaks for 18 years. He treats twice annually. He seems a little pricy, but he knows what he's doing. When one of our trees became too diseased to save because of root fungus, which could not be treated, he was very straightforward about it and said we shouldn't pay him to treat that tree any more because he couldn't cure it.

His treatments are effective. He saved two trees for us which were having trouble with the insects. They were going to destroy the trees if we did not do something about it. He helped us save the trees by spraying them. He sprayed the trunk of the three or the canopy depending on what the problem was. He looks after all the trees in the property. We have a lot of trees in the property. He only sprays the ones that need it and does not overdo any of his treatments. He just does what needs to be done. He knows when to set the appointment in order to make sure the trees stayed healthy and bug free. He takes your trees as his responsibility. He makes sure that everything is done so you don’t loose any trees. We didn’t do price shopping for tree service. He is very professional.
Description of Work: Richard Glover's Tree Service sprayed our trees for insects and diseases this summer. He does it 3 times a year. I have been using him for the last 10 years.

Years ago we almost lost our beautiful tulip tree in our front yard to borers and aphids. As it was planted the year my father died, it has great sentimental value to us, not to mention it shades our entire front yard! Mr. Glover literally brought it back to life and has treated it carefully for us ever since. He also inspects our other trees (over 20 in our yard) and lets us know if they show any signs of insects or disease. Maybe best of all, though, Richard always leaves a personal note on our bill, complimenting us on our plantings and landscape. :-) If you love your trees, you need Richard and Gloria Glover!
Description of Work: Richard Glover and his wife, Gloria, take care of the trees in our yard. Yesterday they came and sprayed 11 white pine trees, an ash, and a tulip tree...all very large trees...to prevent a recurrence of borer infestation. They always call before they come so we can cover some fragile flowers under the trees, so they won't get the insecticide on them. They are extremely careful not to spray the pesticides randomly about the yard and bushes (as I have seen SO many other companies do!) and they only treat those trees that need to be treated.

MR. GLOVER HAS BEEN PROMPT AND HAS DONE THE WORK AS PROMISED AND HAS WORKED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS TO TRY TO HELP SAVE MY OAK TREE, WHICH IS STRUGGLING IN SOIL THAT IS TOO ALKALINE TO ENABLE IT TO TAKE UP IRON FROM THE SOIL. HE HAS CALLED BOTH SPRING & FALL TO REMIND ME OF THE BEST TREATMENT TIMES & HAS ALWAYS DONE A GOOD JOB. THE TREE HAS IMPROVED.

Description of Work: SPRAYED 2 TREES FOR BORER, A BEECH AND AN ASH TREE IN THE FRONT YARD. THE TREATMENT IS DONE ONCE PER QUARTER OR SO.
