"Yes, both jobs were completed in a very proficient manner. Job #1 at my residence was very serious trimming on my 22 foot arborvitae tree. The had to use a Nifty Lift machine to access all around the arborvitae’s circumference. Job #2 was selective trimming a large deciduous tree. R&A workers cleared “ all” of the debris and dumped all of it into the wood chipper."

"Excellent work! Great price! What else can you ask for. They did a great job cutting trees down in a small space without damaging my property. They cleaned up after themselves and left my yard looking great! They were responsive to my communication with them and they showed up on time. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of any type of tree trimming services."

"Awesome end-to-end experience! After two other tree service arborists inspected trees with me but then failed to actually send estimates, I searched Angie's List and read many of Gordon's reviews. I left him a voicemail on a Friday. He called me Saturday and was willing to visit that weekend. Since I was busy over the weekend, he agreed to call Monday or Tuesday. He called Tuesday at approx. 11am, indicating he was in the area working a job and could be by in 30 minutes. I agreed to meet him. We inspected my four large shade trees (2 sycamore and 2 maples) and I explained we needed better visibility from front porch, unblock view of a corner stop sign, and ensure no growth into siding. He explained his additional recommendation for overall thinning and shaping. He provided an on the spot verbal estimate of $800 and when I asked if he accepted a credit card, he indicated yes, but would charge only $750 if I wrote a check. I had researched average job costs and Gordon's quote was very reasonable. I then asked what his lead time was and he indicated his crew was finishing a job nearby and they could be by in an hour after they ate lunch. He and his crew arrived promptly an hour later, a crew of six total, including Gordon. Gordon rang the doorbell and asked me to review first tree trimming with him before he moved on to remaining three to ensure it met my expectations per our earlier discussion. After finishing, Gordon asked me to walk our property and review pruning for all four trees. His crew was well organized, worked together like clockwork, and Gordon was right there with them working and directing to ensure all trees were pruned to expectations and clean-up was thorough. Our yard looks "larger" now and is very open with the thinning Gordon recommended, as they removed overlapping and dead branches to include providing more ground clearance. They look great and Gordon indicated they shouldn't require pruning again for at least five years. I'll now hire Gordon for annual tree / shrub maintenance (fertilize, insects, disease prevention) and fire the other provider that had provided that service but failed to provide a pruning estimate. I strongly recommend Gordon and his team for any tree related care! Well done!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Combining tree service with other home projects in Stafford—like landscaping, fence installation, or driveway repairs—can minimize disruption and streamline scheduling. For example, coordinating stump grinding before laying sod or mulch ensures a smoother finish. If you’re planning roof or gutter work, address overhanging branches first to prevent future issues. This approach is especially efficient during Stafford’s mild winter months.

Helpful?

In Stafford, you’ll find certified arborists who offer expert tree health assessments and preservation, tree removal specialists for hazardous or storm-damaged trees, and tree trimming professionals focused on shaping and maintenance. Stump grinding contractors handle root and stump removal, while emergency crews respond quickly after severe weather. Land clearing experts are available for large projects, especially in developing neighborhoods or wooded lots common in Stafford.

Helpful?

In Stafford, regular tree trimming—especially for fast-growing maples and oaks—helps prevent storm damage and disease. Remove deadwood annually and monitor for pests like borers, which are common locally. Mulch around roots to retain moisture during dry spells, and fertilize in early spring. After tree removal or stump grinding, check soil for settling and support new plantings with proper watering and seasonal inspections.

Helpful?

For Stafford properties, inspect trees each spring for frost cracks or new pest activity, and in summer, watch for drought stress on species like dogwoods or pines. Fall is ideal for checking for weak limbs before hurricane season and planning pruning. In winter, look for ice damage and schedule spring tree trimming. Document changes with photos to track tree health and prepare for emergencies.

Helpful?

Homes in Stafford often need tree service if you see oaks or maples with dead branches, roots lifting sidewalks, or limbs near power lines. After heavy rain or wind, check for leaning trunks or cracked limbs. If your yard has dense shade or trees crowding new landscaping, a professional assessment can help maintain safety and enhance curb appeal, especially in established Stafford neighborhoods.
