  • Free quote
  • ISA-certified arborists
  • Reasonable rates

Not only does Rich’s Tree Service offer emergency tree removals, but this service is also available 24/7. Customers love that they can reach out for assistance at any time of the day.

One thing that caught our attention is that Rich’s Tree Services offers different types of removals, depending on the client’s situation. There’s the standard service, down-only, and low-impact removals. 

We like that customers can choose from these three options, as these take into consideration the unique context of the site. If there are manicured lawns and valuable plants nearby, the low-impact option is best; while down-only suits those with a tight budget.

Regardless of what package the client avails of, Rich’s Tree Service generally boasts reasonable rates. They also offer free quotations, which adds to the convenience and attractiveness of their service.

Aside from this, clients appreciate the easy booking experience and ready assistance in processing tree removal permits. We love that Rich’s Tree Service goes above and beyond to make the entire experience smooth and seamless for clients.

While online estimates are not available, it is extremely easy to connect with them to get that free quote. There are also seasons when they are in high demand, so some clients have reported not getting a response back from them.

Given the top-quality work these ISO-certified arborists provide, we’re not at all surprised. Interested customers may want to still give them a try, as this team goes the extra mile to do the heavy lifting for clients – all while maintaining their friendliness, energy, and politeness.
