Description of Work: Rivas removed two ornamental trees in my yard that were sick and dying. They showed up on time, worked quickly and knew what they were doing, and cleaned up after they finished, including removing both stumps so I could repair the area. I would definitely call them for anything related to tree health and/or removal in future.

Description of Work: Trimmed most of the trees in my yard (some major), removed one tree and ground up 2 stumps. Al was very good and I trust his work but contacting him and arranging a date/time was difficult. I persisted because I heard many good reviews. It was true that he was good but I shouldn't have needed to pursue him so much, thus the reason for some areas that did not get an A rating. Also, purchased an Angie's List coupon ($300 for $400 worth of work) and Al was disappointed since he gave me a good price. I agreed and we split the benefit of the coupon but he shouldn't have an Angie's List coupon if this is the case.

Response from Rivas Tree Service
Hello, thank you for your review. The coupons online are prepaid deals. Meaning that we cannot apply a deal to a job that has either already been approved or after the estimate has been provided, as it is considered a "current job." This is stipulated when purchasing the online deals. As for scheduling yes, you are correct this has been a problem that we have had, but as the season winds down we will reassess our current structure and make the much needed improvements so that this does not continue to happen. We appreciate the feedback, good or bad it helps us improve. Kind Regards, Rivas Tree Service

Description of Work: Removed 2 very, very large evergreen trees that were dying, removed a mature pear tree that was infested with bugs and couldn't be saved and cut back/shaped a large, mature black walnut tree. The service was outstanding and the price was less than expected for the amount of work involved. I highly recommend this company.

Description of Work: at the time, there were two different deals, so before i purchased the deal, i sent them an email asking for an estimate. I heard from them within a few hours. They stopped by the following day and when i explained what i needed, he made the recommendation on which deal would best suit my needs. | |Once i purchased the deal and gave them the ok to do the work, within a week, i got a phone call letting me know the day they would stop by. |They did a great job. I will be using them again.
