They responded with a detailed estimate. I spoke to the owner on the phone to go over the alternatives. Once we had settled on the parameters of the job, they scheduled the work, arrived promptly, and performed the work in a professional manner. I am completely satisfied with the work from start to finish. The price was fair and the guys were both friendly and professional.
Description of Work: They removed a large fallen tree (Hurricane Sandy) from my backyard, disposed of the wood and debris, and ground the stump.

Over the last three months, we've used Rich tree service twice. It has been very efficient in taking care of our tree problems, including the task of cleaning up. Also, its personnel have been very polite during the process.

Very responsive to initial phone call. Arrived on time. Provided a clear estimate at a good price. Also has a price match policy. Even though I used another service (based on next door neighbor's recommendation), I would certainly consider using Rich Tree Service in the future.

We've had lots of dead branches fall around our property and wanted to clean everything up in case another bad storm hit. Great timing considering Sandy was just a few weeks later. We called three companies for quotes. Two were around the same price with the third being double. Based on the stellar reviews on Angie's List we went with Rich Tree Service. We were very pleased with the service and would highly recommend them.

This is a true story where humanitarian services outdid any financial gain to the company - in this case "Rich's Tree Service ". Rich's Tree service was hired by my neighbor to removed several branches from a tree ( town owned ) that had completely uprooted and dislodged across the front of my house and across the neighbor's driveway - result from the recent Storm. It was fortunate the tree did not do any major damage to either house, but my neighbors tenants two cars were damaged and I needed some exterior electric repairs. I also have major sidewalk and driveway apron work damage that needs to be corrected. While the workers were taking care of the branches, one of my tenants who is handicapped was very concerned about the rest of tree that was still blocking access from the house to the street. In the kindness of his heart, Alan instructed the workers to take care of the area so the handicapped person would be able to exit and enter the house without any further discomfort. Thank you Alan for your service and kindness.
Description of Work: Rich Tree service cut and move tree trunks and branches from a town tree that had blocked total access to a rental property I own in town - result from Storm Sandy.

They had all the heavy equipment needed for the job, laid mats on the grass so the lawn wouldn't be harmed, and keep checking with us to ensure they were doing exactly as we requested. The crew chief, Nelson, was very professional and experienced, and kept communicating with us as I stated earlier. After the job was completed, he checked again with us to make sure we were satisfied, then the crew proceeded to clean up the entire property and when they left, it was as though they were never here, except all the trees were pruned. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: Rich's Tree Service arrived on time and with a full crew to prune 6 very old trees (50 years old) on our property, both front and back yards.

Discovered a tree was uprooting in my yard before a big storm. Rich's tree service came that afternoon and removed it. They cleaned up the area completely leaving no sign that they had been there except for the missing tree. Excellent service.

Not only was the work done correctly, the cleanup was also very well done. In the future, when I need any tree work to be done, they will be my first call. All of the workers are very friendly, and they showed up on time. The work was very carefully done because there were a lot of shrubs surrounding the tree. They did not damage any. The oak tree is at least over 100 years old.
Description of Work: I had three estimates. His was quite a bit less than the other 2. I think it is important for members to know that Rich is by far the best company in terms of price and having work done. I have never dealt with Rich before, and I have to say that I am amazed at what he did. I watched him very closely. The price was around $700 to cut down 1 large oak tree.

I found Rich's Tree Service here on Angie's List. I contacted his office and he called me that afternoon. When I explained my situation; that I was putting our home on the market and needed to have the work done within the next 48 hours, he rearranged his schedule to get a crew over the next day. I was impressed with this as the job was not big, and therefore, relatively low cost. His crew arrived on time, completed the job very quickly, and cleaned up after they were done. The estimate was the price I paid for the work. It was a pleasure to deal with Rich and his crew of workers.

Overall, very satisfied with their work.
Description of Work: Hired Rich Tree Service to grind up and remove tree limbs only from my property. I had cut down the diseased willow, and the many branches provided quite the pile of debris. Rich Tree Service cleaned up the mess as per the signed contract, and I hired them to come back to grind the stump. Nice job!

I called Rich Tree Service for an estimate. My called was returned within 24 hours. Someone came out to give me an estimate. I accepted his offer. My appointment was then scheduled. The men arrived on that day and on time. All branches were trimmed. They also cleaned up in front of my home nicely. I was pleased with my service.

Rich Tree Service provided a timely estimate, indicated when they would be there, showed up on time and completed the job in a timely fashion. The quality of the work was excellent, in fact it exceded our expectations . The workers were friendly and polite. Out of the half dozen companies that were contacted, Rich's was the only one who gave us a timely, reasonable estimate (one estimate was $7000 and we recieved it when Rich's company was finishing up the job)

This company treated me like a client who they wanted to do business with. A rep came out to meet me on July 4th in the morning. Their price was fantastic and the job was done better than I could've imagined. All other companies who I called refused to meet me in the evening or on a weekend. Due to the complexity of explaining the job, it was impossible for them to give me an accurate estimate. One company called me when they were there to discuss what I wanted done.... then gave me an estimate that was 50% higher. I needed some grading done that Rich Tree Service does not do. They sent me to Drew from Mountain View who also came out when I requested (evening) and gave me a very good price as well. The companies coordinated together to ensure that the job was done like it was by the same company.
Description of Work: They took down a dead elm, a cherry tree, an oak that was growing about 6 inches from foundation and another tree that was growing touching the garage. They removed the stumps of 2 larger trees and about a dozen other smaller stumps, including some roots on the ground. I had a huge pile (6 ft X 10 ft X 4 ft high) of ivy, limbs, etc that I ripped out over a period of 2 months. They took it all away.

I called Rich Tree Service to schedule an estimate for a tree that fell in my yard on July 4th. I called on July 5th and left a message. When no one called back, I called again on Friday, July 6th and spoke to a woman in the office who told me someone would call me back to schedule a time to come by and give me an estimate. As of noon today, July 9th, no one has called me back to schedule a time to give me an estimate. While their rating appear good, it would be hard to use their service if they can't even call you back in a timely fashion. Fortunately for me, my fallen tree is in my back yard so it does not present a huge problem for me but generally I would think a fallen tree might need to be cleaned up quickly.

Response from Rich Tree Service Inc
As a very busy tree service, our sales representatives can usually schedule an appointment quickly, however because of the holiday week, the office was closed July 4th and 5th. Therefore, the message was not received until July 6th. As this time, the message was entered into our system which our sales representative view within 24 to 48 hours depending on their schedule. Because of the holiday week, many of our estimators were booked up on Friday 7/6/12, so unfortunately the message may not have been viewed until Monday. I am happy that an estimator did schedule an appointment with this client, although it was not on 7/5/12. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused with the unfortunate circumstances of a short week due to the July 4th holiday.

My wife and I agreed that this was our absolute best experience we ever had dealing with a contracted service. Every member of the organization, from the person who came to do the estimate, to the office staff and certainly the men who came and did all the work to remove the tree and grind the stump were extremely professional and represented the company first class. They all knew what had to be done and were expert in accomplishing the job. The tree that had to be removed had grown over a neighbors pool and I was concerned about how they would get it cut down without affecting the pool. I needn't have worried. Rich's men helped the neighbor cover the pool so no sawdust or cuttings fell into the pool. After they finished their work, they vacuumed and swept up all the sawdust and every last scrap of leaves/wood that was cut. I will definitely recommend Rich Tree Service to anyone who can use their services. In fact I know I will be using them again to do some pruning of other trees on my property.
Description of Work: They removed a HUGE Oak Tree that was in an area of our yard that had very limited access. This meant they had to hand carry all the cuttings to the driveway to the woodchipper since the area didn't allow for big equipment to be moved to the tree. They ground down the stump and you wouldn't even know there was a tree there at all.

The estimator arrived on time per our arranged appointment. Was easy to work with and very prompt to provide costs. I signed up for the work and it took a few weeks to before doing the work. The notification of exact time to arrive could have been communicated with more detail. Company did a good job on the quoted work.

The work was done efficiently and we. The crew was nice. The lot looks incredibly better.
Description of Work: We recently moved to a home in Bridgewater with a 1.5 acre lot and many trees, some of which were very close to the house and damaged by the ice storm the prior winter. I fielded four quotes from tree service companies with high marks on Angie's List. Rich came in with a quote that was the second highest. I decided to hire them because during the inspection of our property he noted a tree that was about to fall over -- hollowed out inside with a vertical split. He seemed to be the most knowledgeable about trees in this area. He also was clearly busy and not pushy about getting the job, just professional. They removed to very big trees near the house and a number of other trees scattered around the lot that were dead or just not doing well. They ground down the stumps, as well.
