Description of Work: They arrived on time, did everything we had asked for, and had me walk around to insure everything was done to my specifications and that nothing was missed. We have used them for the last 15 years and will continue to call them for all our tree and shrub needs.

Description of Work: Limb removal for wind thinning and balancing trees and pruning an 80-foot arborvitae hedge. Work was quick, safely done, and of high quality. Staff was easy to work with and met my expectations. Price was reasonable. Four months later, I'm pleased with the results. My only critique would be that there was some debris I needed to pick up after the work was done.

Description of Work: It is so difficult to reach contractors these days and even if you do, they either dont arrive, dont arrive on time, take forever to give an estimate, etc. This is not the case with Rich Tree Service. They called me back same day, set an appointment, kept the appointment and handed me a very reasonable estimate before they left my property. When the work was performed, the crew was professional, neat and very experienced. A true pleasure to deal with AND the guy that does the estimate cares about trees - I do too! Excellent services and work and the thank you card at the is a nice touch. Highly recommend!

Description of Work: The crew was punctual and pleasant. They did exactly what they said they'd do: removing two dead trees, leaving big rounds of the wood for us and grinding up the rest. An arborist was the one who came to bid out the job, and he was knowledgeable and thorough. The only thing I didn't like about the job the workers did was their inattentiveness to some details. They removed our hose from the faucet and didn't re-attach it, they ran the hose through part of our flower bed, which smashed a couple of perennials, they moved our trampoline into our rose bushes and forgot to move it back and they left a pruning saw/hook behind. My overall impression was that they were in a hurry to get to their next job. When we contacted the arborist to tell him his workers had done these things, he was very contrite and apologetic. Crew members stopped by and picked up the saw. I would use them again but I would supervise them more closely.

Initially I had difficulty scheduling an estimate. However, once I did get an estimate and said that I wanted to be a filler (as opposed to scheduling a specific date) they worked us in within just a couple days (note to others: If you ask to be a filler, they don't call you in advance. They just show up, so this might not be a good option unless you work from home). The tree removal was fast and expert, and they left us some nice pieces of firewood as requested. I was impressed also with the efficiency of the stump grinding, but not with clean-up. This wasn't the fault of the workers- the estimator neglected to select the "clean debris" option when he made the estimate. So, a bit messier than I would have liked. But they got the job done quickly and even called to get my feedback.
Description of Work: Removed a maple tree too close to the house. Ground the stump and some peripheral roots.

We are on a subscription program. They come out with a large sprayer truck six times annually to spray the flowering Cherry trees that line our driveway, and they also spray our fruit trees and other ornamental trees in our yard. Very friendly and attentive service. They always leave a note on the invoice that describes work done and notes on the health of our trees.

Once they got to us, they were great! They were very professional, quick and also seemed to enjoy their work. They didnt drop a single branch, onto the adjacent properties, which is amazing considering the placement of the linden tree. We would recommend them to anyone needing this kind of work done.
Description of Work: They cut down and removed a dying linden tree from our backyard, removed two stands of bamboo (and poisoned the stumps), removed a small holly tree, and trimmed a tall spruce, chipping all the small limbs and cutting the large ones into nice 16 lengths. We chose not to have them take the wood away.

Job required. Two days and was handled in a very professional manner. Equipment brought to the job was of the the most advanced type which enabled the worker to rise to a 75 feet height WITHOUT having to climb the tree. Before leaving all yard debris was fed to a shredder and drive and deck were cleared with a blower.
Description of Work: l. Trim dead branches from all Douglas firs(approximately 40 trees). 2. Trim up specific low branches over driveways and over house. 3. Cut down one Douglas fir and one large alder. 4. Install one cable in fir (approximately 75 feet from ground) to prevent toppling in windstorm. 5. Trim 1 alder away from a flowering cherry.

The work crew came on the day of the appointment before I left for work, introduced themselves and got down to business. I was impressed by the cleanup in addition to the actual tree and bush removal, and also with the office staff and their willingness to answer any questions I had. I felt the price was very reasonable.
Description of Work: Cut down 2 birch trees & poison stumps (not enouch access to grind); cut down 2 large camellia bushes and grind stumps; all tree and bush branches chipped and removed; larger wood cut into 18'' logs.

Absolutely top of the line. We moved into a new house with a very large, overgrown yard. They removed about five trees and pruned the remaining trees. That was about 9 months ago, and the trees now look fantastic. They also pruned back lots of overgrown landscaping, and made some suggestions to remove some of the shrubs, which Im very glad they did. They did a great job cleaning up after themselves. Richs isnt the cheapest, but the best rarely is.

After we removed all the sawdust, dirt and stump grindings we found some stump sections remaining. I took some pictures and emailed them into the office. The office contacted me the next day to let me know they would be out in 2 days on Friday. Had some equipment problems so rescheduled for Monday or Tuesday. They finished the grinding and did a very good job of it. I think I didn't grade them fairly in my prior report. They did what was agreed upon, not exactly the way I was expecting it but made good on any mistakes or issues. Rich is a fair business man and his office staff very professional and courteous. Their price was within $1000 of other quotes. They had a large crew to do the work and all the needed equipment. I would use them again and this time I would fully understand how all the work will be done and what are our expectations of the final outcome so no surprises or disappointments.
Description of Work: Continuation of same project. Cut down 13 Douglas fir trees to harvest for timber and grind stumps. Trees were situated around a house and 80 - 120 ft tall. The trees needed to be cut to lengths that would maximize profits when sold to local lumber mills. Trees also need to be cut and stacked to allow a logging truck easy access to load them. Called back to finish some stump grinding of 5 stumps.

Work was started on time and completed in 1.5 days. Trees were cut to length for the most part. Some had to be recut by the logging truck to maximize timber value. Logging truck did have some problems accessing the logs in the front yard and loading them. They were not situated or stacked in the best location for the logging truck to load them. Not all of the tree parts that were left behind were cut to 16" lengths for firewood. All of the branches were trimmed from logs were removed and cleaned up as agreed upon. Overall the job was preformed on time and as agreed. For the items that were not done properly, the logging truck completed them and the bill was adjusted to reflect these discrepancies. Proper log moving equipment could have been used to move and stack the logs better than what was done. His bid was within $1000 of other bids. Has a pleasant working staff, cooperative and returns phone calls timely. Professional company.

The two gentlemen that showed up exactly on time that morning were very friendly, professional and knowledgeable regarding their work. Although it was a tight space considering the size of the tree, they completed the task efficiently without doing any damage to other trees/shrubs in the area. They were licensed and insured which some of the estimates that I received from other companies were not. I will definitely be calling these guys again for future jobs.

There was a miscommunication about what was to be done. Consequently, my expectation about what was to be done was not satisfied. I also thought what was done was overpriced; I was not happy about the service. The estimate provided was done when I was absent and I think the miscommunication could have been prevented if I had been present when the estimate was done.

What we thought was going to be traumatic, turned out to be entertaining. The crew was a lot of fun. They were such a hustling and hardworking team, we served up energy bars.
Description of Work: Removed one Douglas fir and one maple. Fir was a tight fit between two houses. We were concerned about roofs, fences and our homeowners insurance coverage. But Rich's lead woodsman was a "maestro." It was like watching a highwire circus act. Professional! Enough said.
