We hired Richard for tree removal in our backyard and paid a premium price with the expectation of professional service and care. Unfortunately, the experience left us very disappointed. During the process, significant damage was done to our pepper garden, which never recovered, and to our raised garden bed, which had to be replaced at our own cost this year. Last summer, Richard acknowledged the damage and assured us multiple times that he would replace the raised garden bed, but never followed through. Additionally, the removal of the second tree left two large, now dead, hanging branches that is an eyesore in our backyard. And lastly, the "removal" of a tree for them meant placing logs of the tree by our fire pit for us to deal with. We reached out and gave ample opportunity for Richard to respond and make things right before posting this review. Unfortunately, the lack of accountability and follow-through speaks volumes. We would not recommend this company based on our experience.

Richard and his helper did a great job, worked hard and went above and beyond on our big job, of clearing out the trees over our house and parking area.

Rick and his team did a phenomenal job. They carefully took down two large oak trees that were distressed and a threat to my house. They removed all of the tree and branches from my property and cleaned up the site and path to the site. I was thoroughly impressed. I'll definitely hire them again if / when we need additional tree service.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
