They were excellent. They were very fair. A lot of people are being listed often, and if he hadn't given me a good price then I would have not accepted it. I reported them on Monday, and they came by Wednesday. They are very good. They were right with the promptness. They came out not the next day, but the day after. The workers were quick. They knew exactly what they were doing. They did clean up after themselves, which is important to me. They cleaned up any debris left on the lawn and in the driveway.
Description of Work: I had Rich Tree Service to take down two trees by Wednesday.

I got them from Angie's List. I did not have the stump removed but had the tree itself cut down to the ground and they removed everything. One branch fell and the other one did not as it hung up. I had determined that the tree itself was now going to be off balance and was starting to rot. I have used them twice. I used them for the first time in September 2009. When I used them the first time, it was basically to have the trees in my yard trimmed out because I was having some work done on my house like roofing and siding. Their quote was fair and reasonable. The work was done exactly as described. They cleaned up perfectly. There were no hassles, no strain and no pain. I spent $1050 during their first visit as they took down a tree and trimmed back the five other large oak trees. I did not shop them but hired them the second time based upon the scope of their work during the first time. I told them that without any hesitation. They were not the cheapest but their price seemed very reasonable for what I asked them to do without having to shop around. They were right on time. They came when they said that they would and there was no problem. I hopefully don't have to use them the third time but I would if I have to.
Description of Work: I used Rich Tree Service during the last fall for tree service. We had a storm rip through here and I had a couple of branches put off, in fact one of them took out a section on my neighbor's fence. They also took out a tree.

I called the company and received a call back the same day to schedule an appointment. The gentleman came out to survey the work and gave me an estimate before he left. He was extremely knowledgeable and reasonable. I had wanted one tree taken down, and he said they could prune it first and then I should make the decision. I am so glad I didn't have it removed because it turned out to be beautiful once pruned, and now I have the perfect spot to hang a hammock for my grandchildren! They scheduled the work for the end of the week and came a day sooner since they had completed a job earlier in the vicinity. All workers were very pleasant and efficient. The foreman took me around to show me the work before they left for the day, and they returned early the next morning to finish. The work was completed before 11 AM. We were all waving goodbye from the front porch as they left. You can't get better than that!
Description of Work: There had been no tree trimming in the past 25 years on the property. The price included: Pruning of three 30-45' trees which required removal of large branches; removal of three small trees and two large junipers (all stumps ground and removed); removal of wild bushes, poison ivy; hedge trimming, approx. 50 feet long. All debris, leaves, twigs, etc. were removed from our property, my neighbors' properties, and the road. The result was beautiful. The work was noticeable to everyone who visited afterwards.

Between the Spring/Winter storms and the Summer drought, many trees on my property we damaged or had died. I requested estimates from a number of Tree Service Companies. Some companies never showed up, others never responded after promising estimates. I finally decided to confine my seach solely to referrals and Angies List Contractors. The job was to have approximately twenty 20- 25' evergreen trees cut down and removed; in addition there were a few diseased "hard wood" trees to be cut down. I also wanted to have all of the stumps ground. Of the four quotes that I received, Rich's was not the lowest. When I called the representative, we agreed to a price that was lower than his original estimate, but not quite at that of the lowest bidder. I signed the contract and two weeks later a crew of 3 people arrived. One man cut down the trees and three others moved the debris into the chipper. The next day another worker arrived and used a sef propelled robotic grinder to grind down the stumps. All workers were exceptionally pleasant and very professional. Because of their expertise and the quality of the equipment, the entire job took less than 1/2 day. On both days, the property was raked and all debis was removed. I was extremely pleased with the work and plan upon using this company when I have tree work needs in the future.
Description of Work: One representative visited the property and provided an estimate; After receiving other estimates, we decided to sign a contract to have Rich Tree Service cut down and remove all damaged and dead evergreens located in my front yard; Due to rainy weather, the project was delayed for 1 week; A crew of three people arrived with a covered dump truck and an attached chipper; The crew chief was the "cutter" and other other members moved the debris to the chipper and cleaned up the property; The "cutter" explained exactly what they were going to do and answered all of my questions; All evergreen trees were removed and put through the chipper; the wood from the "hardwood" trees was cut into 12-18" logs and stacked. Because of the size of the chipper, the crew was able to put whole trees into it which reduced mess and required less time; The next day another employee arrived with a self propelled robotic stump grinder. He moved the equipment from stump to stump and finished in approximately 1 hr.. He then raked out all of the ground areas.

The trees were removed ahead of quoted time. There were no remaining debris from the trees. Very professional
Description of Work: Called Rich Tree Service based on their ratings and Angie's List comments. They were friendly responsive and came out to see the two dead trees for an estimate on a Saturday morning when I was off work. Rich Tree indicated they had a full schedule and it might be two weeks before the could remove the two, large, dead coniferous trees. But when an opening occurred they came out six days later. Very crisp, customer oriented. Because Rich came early, I had not finished moving about 700lbs of oak logs stacked around one of the dead pines. Rich Tree moved the logs to the location they saw I had started, then did the tree. To me that was extra quality and value as working extra to open access to the dead tree's base wasn't really their job but mine. I will call them again if there is a job I can't do with my Stihl FarmBoss.

We called to make an appointment for an estimate to have trees pruned. They did not show up. We called to see if they were indeed coming and we were told we were not even down for an estimate at all. We wont deal with a company that is so innacurate on times for appointments- very annoying.

Response from Rich Tree Service Inc
All appointments are scheduled and confirmed by the estimator performing the assessment. The customer left a message with a day and time that was appropriate for them, however this time was not appropriate for the estimator. The estimator did continue to call to try to schedule a mutually convenient appointment, however no contact was ever made between the estimator and the customer. Unfortunately, appointments cannot be made without an actual conversation and confirmation from the estimator themselves due to the high demand throughout the Spring season. It is for this reason that it is imperative the estimator actually schedules the appointment with the client themselves.

Rich Tree was very responsive to our inquiry, and provided a quote for the service requested. Once the service was scheduled, Rich Tree was punctual and arrived at our home as stated. They completed the job quickly, and per the estimate. Overall, it was a great experience. I would not hesitate to use them again or refer a friend.
Description of Work: Removal of 3 large trees in the backyard and 1 tree in the front yard. In addition, we requested the stumps to be grinded with soil and seed placement. The trees in the backyard were ~40 ft tall and access was limited.

They are very professional and the guy who came to work did a really great job assessing things. He clearly knew a lot about trees and was very interested in making sure that you got the right kind of thing done for the trees. He did a very thorough assessment and there was a good follow up. He did a great job.

Representative arrived on time, very nice, professional, and fair - drew up a contract, sent us a quote about a week later. Unfortunately, the representative later communicated something different to the non-english-speaking laborers, who cut down a very old tree we had been nursing for several years, just as I arrived home from work. The contract clearly stated to remove vines from the tree, not cut it down. A follow phone call to the rep revealed that he had given instructions to cut the tree down, against what was in the contract. Kudos to him for honestly admitting to a mistake, which seems to be becoming rarer and rarer. Though an ancient tree can't be replaced, the company gave us two small saplings of the same variety after a full stump removal of the old, and the new trees are in excellent health. Everyone makes mistakes, and a huge effort was made on their part to make it right,.....because of this we will use them again, and I give a hearty recommendation to use this service. Final advice: be there on the day the work is done, and remain watching the work until they are finished. Actual workers do not speak english.

The project went very well! I received a phone call the same day I contacted them for an estimate. The supervisor came out for the bid, and provided the written quote before he left the property. I faxed him the contract the following day (after 1 or 2 revisions). His crew was out the following week and were very cordial and friendly. They also did a wonderful job of cleaning up after themselves! I couldn?t have asked for a better experience! I would highly recommend Rich?s Tree Service.

The estimate given was what I paid, even though the service did more pruning than I requested. I originally asked only for pruning of dead branches and two low-hanging branches over the driveway. The service also thinned some of the higher foliage, I assume to allow more light to the lower branches. The service carted away the pruned branches and left no debris. The communication from the service was timely and professional.
Description of Work: Four 80-foot pin oaks were pruned of dead and low-hanging branches as per my request. In addition, other branches were pruned to thin the foliage.

The tree limb just came down on it's own, but was still partially attached to the tree, so I was worried about it coming down the rest of the way and hitting either part of my house or someone going by on the street. I called four different services, including a tree/landscaping service I have used regularly, and even called their emergency number. One service never called me back, one couldn't do the work until at least the next day, my (formerly) usual service didn't even call back until almost 36 hours after I called their emergency number. But Rich's called me back promptly, said they would send someone to look at it. Their representative arrived within about an hour to evaluate the limb. He did assure me it wasn't likely to come down on its own, so presented no immediate danger. But he still scheduled a crew to come out and take it down within about 4 hours. They arrived at the promised time, had the limb down, ground up and the area cleaned up, all in less than 30 minutes. I'll definitely use them again for regular service.
Description of Work: They took down a very large branch (about 18-inches across, and over 30 feet long) that had come down from a large poplar tree. Tree limb was still partially attached to the tree, but also covering part of my driveway and some of a local street. They took down the limb and cleaned up everything, all very professionally and in a very short time.

Overall, I had an excellent experience. The reason I gave them a "B" for Responsiveness was I did not receive a phone call from them in a timely manner after they had come to give me the written estimate. But as soon as I called them (two weeks later), they returned my call with a service date. I was not at home when they did the job. When I returned from work I was amazed at the results. This is the first tree company that actually cut a substantial amount of branches. My property looked very neat and clean. A few weeks later, I saw Rich Tree Service working for another family on my block. I would like to think it was due to the wonderful job they did on my property because this company is not located close to home.

I contact the company on Thursday July 29, 2010 and arranged for them to come out and give us an estimate on getting an oak tree pruned. The secretary left two messages on my answering machine confirming date and time. They were supposed to come on Monday July 2, at 11:00. My husband was home and waited until 1:00, no one showed up or called. I waited a day to see if someone would call and explain, no one did so on Wednesday I called and spoke to the secretary, after some confusion on her part she said Charlie was supposed to come that day and wasn't in right now, she would have to look have him call me. I told her I wasn't interested anymore and she said okay.

They were phenomenal. They were the best one I got for estimates. I got multiple estimates and apparently people think they can charge whatever they want when there are emergencies like this. I got astronomical fees. Everything from the estimator to the guys that came out to do the work was phenomenal. I was so glad that I found him and so was my husband. The estimate was terrific and they came out the end of March to do the estimate. They came at 8:15 am when they were supposed to. They worked very hard. They took a 20-minute break for lunch and at 4:15 that afternoon they had 5 trees down and it was all cleaned up. It was incredible. It came in exactly where they said it was going to and there were no extra charges. They went above and beyond what I expected to get. I wanted them to leave the trees and they piled them very neatly. They did more than they said they were going to do. Everything was perfect. The price was excellent.
Description of Work: I used Rich Tree Service because we had a tremendous storm in New Jersey and it took down trees everywhere. I had 5 huge trees lying on my garage and it was a mess.

After an initial contact delay due to malfunctioning e-mail program, a supervisor came as scheduled and discussed the job and prepared a detailed estimate. Eventually the job was scheduled. Some problem in communication by workers trying to understand typed and apparently abbreviated description of tasks to be performed. Required my discussion with them. They were very friendly and cooperative. Accomplished the job in about two hours. Workers were excellent. Left yard broom clean. Busy season required a two week wait for them to schedule the work. I was impressed with their equipment and their ability to climb these enormous trees and get trimming job accomplished expeditiously.
Description of Work: Pruned two very tall trees and one medium sized tree. Remover enormous branches from the two tall trees.
