Used Richards for the first time and was very pleased. Prices were good but the service and the carefully detailed explanation provided before the work was agreed to was exceptional. I would use them again without hesitation.

Richard's Tree Service trimmed and shaped trees for us in 2017 and 2020. In 2017, they charged $600.00 to trim and shape three European hornbeams and three crepe myrtles. In 2020, they charged $600.00 to trim and shape just three European hornbeams. When we asked for an estimate in April 2022 to trip and shape the same three European hornbeams, Richard's told us that they would charge $1,850.00. When we looked shocked, their estimator offered to take 15% off the price. That still would have been $1572.50, or a 262% increase in two years. We called Richard's office to inquire about the reason for the large price increase, but we had to leave a phone message, and they did not return our call. Even considering the current rate of inflation, we consider that sort of increase to be price gouging. Needless to say, we looked elsewhere for the service, which was accomplished in excellent fashion for a much lower price.

I consulted Checkbook for tree service companies that could treat a major scale infestation of several mature trees and shrubs on my property in May/June 2021. The phone receptionist at this company had a difficult time understanding my request and taking down my contact information but eventually scheduled an estimator, who showed up as scheduled. His diagnosis and plan of treatment appeared reasonable but the cost estimate was extreme - $5700 for a Transtec treatment of scales and 2 horticultural oil sprays. I reached out to 4 other arborists from the Checkbook recommended list who did not return my call or were too busy to engage…other than Paul Wolfe from Integrated Plant Care who gave me a much lower quote (approx. $660) and promptly and professionally handled the matter.
