I had a tree that was within 28 inches of the house and i was worried it would do damage. I called for 4 estimates and all 4 were within $100 of each other. I chose Rich's Tree Service. They were out to do the work within a week and they did a very professional job. They did all that I asked and cleaned up to the point that you would not even know a tree was there. I was very pleased with their work

This is the third time I have used this service and they came through with flying colors once again. I not only received a call the day before the crew was to arrive as well as the morning of the appointment, the crew also called me when they were actually headed to my house. Prior notifications are very important to me. When the two man crew arrived, I walked them through the back yard confirming what needed to be done. Within two hours they cleared out two dead dogwood trees, a large bush by the back fence and a dead portion of a remaining tree trunk. They also cut back some very long limbs on a tree that is close to my house and cleared out all the dead limbs that could cause future problems. There was also a small pile of cut logs that they removed for me as well. Then they neatly picked up all the debris and finished cleaning with a leaf blower. The yard was cleaner than when they started! I was very pleased with their professionalism, quick work, and thoroughness in completing all the jobs as I had requested. Their pricing is always reasonable and they make sure that they completely understand what the customer wants. I will continue to use this company for future projects as they really are top notch in their field of service.

I have had Rich's out at least 4 times in the pasts years to maintain trees front and back. They are always professional, on time and always do a thorough job cleaning up.

Called before they arrived. Three workers arrived and kept working from the start until the finish. Office followed up to make sure all went well.

They did a very thorough job. It was $5000. It was pricey. They did a very good job; a very thorough job. They were a little over-priced. But, they have a lot of me. They had 5 people out there.

the bushes were trimmed nicely. clean up also good. I wanted to have low hanging tree branches cut but instead only one or two small branches were trimmed . the crew removed the wrong tree in the backyard. for the service performed it was overpriced.

Great job. Came out right away and took care of calling PGE for the branches in the power lines and cut down my tree without any issues. Also cleaned up nicely.

Caleb and Ben came out a little before appointment time. (They were very prompt).  I had a sensitive situation with neighboring property so as to not go on neighboring property anymore than necessary to remove trees, which they did very successfully.  The quality and efficient use of time getting the job done was excellent!  
I was very pleased and impressed with the work and prompt service that I had with rich and his company.  Rich was very prompt in returning my call visiting the property and providing a prompt estimate.  This is the third time I have used Richs tree service and will use them again without hesitation.

Fantastic job!  This review should have been written over a year ago when the work was actually done, but life, and lack of time got in my way.  I just so happened to have taken a day of vacation from work that particular day and Rich's Tree Service showed up as what I think they refer to as a "filler" job.  It was not scheduled, but I knew they would be coming whenever they could fit my project in. 

The guys were fantastic!!  Very professional, SAFE, efficient, and they cleaned up pretty much every last twig.  They were very careful of the plants, etc. around the bottom of the tree.  Since I happened to be home, they were very patient with all my "inept  home-owner" type of questions. 

One year later now, my tree is gorgeous, and safe and when the wind blows, as it frequently does in East County, I don't even worry about that big tree anymore. 

They just did such a great job!  I am so happy with the work they did.

Glenn, their estimator, came out to my property right away to assess the job to be done.  We carefully reviewed all the details including the number of trees to be removed along with an old wood pile as well as the white alder that was brittle and loosing limbs.  He provided a reasonable estimate for all the services and I called to schedule a date.  I was called to let me know that there had been a cancellation so the crew was able to come out earlier on 11/11/15.  They had the list of items I had posted to be removed and worked very quickly accomplishing all the tasks to my satisfaction.  The stump grinder was especially fascinating to watch as it was run by remote control.  They cleaned up the area for me and even placed some old scrap fencing, etc. that was in the foliage into the garbage bin for me since I am on crutches.  The crew was very professional, asked questions as necessary and left the property clean and neat.  I have used their services in the past and will definitely continue to use them for future jobs.  It is a very reliable company!!!

Their bid was right on target for what I have paid annually for these trees to be trimmed.  I opted to allow Rich's to come out whenever they could squeeze me in.  They communicated with me via telephone prior to coming on a Saturday morning and we're on the job by 8:00am.  The trees look great and the guys cleaned up everything before they left.  We had requested that some of the larger branches be cut into firewood logs and they had them stacked up for us when they finished.  From start to finish an outstanding experience.  I will be using them again and again.
