Chuck came out the day after I contacted him and had an estimate right away. His prices were very good. We hired him to remove the tree and also cut down a plum tree that was old and dying. He came when he was scheduled and did a nice job. I will definitely use his services again. If you need a tree cut down he is your guy! thank you Chuck,
Description of Work: We had a wind storm come through and knock a pear tree over onto our patio. We also had him remove a plum tree.

I called for an estimate on Wednesday, and had the estimate on Thursday morning. The price was fair, so I faxed back the contract on Friday, and Chuck called me on Sunday wanting to do the work on Monday. I wanted to get work done early in the season, knowing tree services get busy and stay busy through the fall, but I didn't expect to have the work quoted and completed all within a week. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The crew showed up meaning business right about the time they said they would, and got right to work. Three of the trees were very close to the house, but trees were felled in a manner that never even came close to the house. Work took about half a day. All that was left were a couple of piles of mulch where the trees used to be. No sticks or branches to be found. The trucks did leave ruts in the yard, but the ground was soft, and these are some big trucks. Needed to get in there to grind the stumps. This is easily repairable, and I don't mind fixing it considering how much work it was to get those trees out of there. In a couple of months, you'll never know the trucks were ever there.
Description of Work: Cut down six large trees and ground stumps.

Cut down tree in about 2 hours. Hauled away all limbs and trunk. Removed any fences and yard items that might have been damaged during the job. Replaced items when job was completed. Workers were prompt, friendly, and professional. They had top of the line equipment to do the job right and efficiently. I was very pleased with this company and would employ them again. Their price was the best of all estimates I received. Also I prefer to give my business to family owned businesses such as this provider.
Description of Work: Cut down a 50 year old Hemlock. Very large.

I sent back the signed contract and they never showed up. When I called them they said, Ma'am we have other people that have emergencies. I said, but I have a contract and sent it back to you. Every time the wind blows I lose more shingles. Well, ma'am we have people that have trees in the middle of their living room. The woman was absolutely rude on the phone. I would never ever recommend them for anybody because they didn't show up. They were rude. She was very rude on the phone. They came out quickly to give me the estimate but they never showed up to do the job.
Description of Work: Ritchie's Tree gave me an estimate last September.

Had used Ritchie's before for removing a tree and shaping and trimming trees, so called for an estimate to have 6 trees in my yard trimmed & shaped. When I didn't receive an estimate after a month, called again. They said they would be out and apologized for delay. Still waiting - 4 months and never heard a word.
Description of Work: No service performed since never received estimate for trimming and shaping 6 trees in the yard.

They did a good job and cleaned up everything. They are very good as we have had them before. They are very reasonable. They came over recommended by friends. We had used them before when we had storm damage and they told us that the tree was not going to last for long and it didn’t. Then they came out and took out the big tree in our front yard. They did a good job, stumped it. Now there is no stump and there is grass growing there.
Description of Work: Ritchie's Tree Svc come and does our trees. The last time they removed a big tree for us and stumped it.

I used Ritchie's Tree Service to remove a tree for me. I have used him many times in the past and am always satisfied with the service. Ritchie's has really good pricing and cleans up the project very well. I would use him again in the future.

Description of Work: I have contacted Richie's tree service multiple times to get a quote and they did respond once telling me they would get back to me in about a week..well several months have passed and still no call despite me calling again to follow up. I know they are busy but a return call would be greatly bappreciated even if it is to say they are too busy to take on additional work or whatever reason they have for not returning my 10 phone calls. And the receptionist was also rude to me.

Contracted with this company on June 6, 2011 to trim back branches hanging over my roof. Every time the wind blew, I lost more shingles resulting in water leaking in. Call 1, I was told that a car was parked in front of my house and they couldn't trim the trees. Ok, I told all the neighbors to make sure no one parked in front of the house and my neighbors have honored that request. However, after repeated calls to this company and after waiting almost FOUR MONTHS, the work has not been done. I spoke to the company this afternoon and was rudely informed by the woman answering the phone that "We have people with trees in their homes". Well, excuse me but I have a ceiling caving in because of water damage that cannot be repaired until the tree branches are trimmed. And I contracted with this company well before Irene or tropical storm Lee so why am I pushed to the end of the list. The aforementioned woman told me to find another company. These people are not dependable and the receptionist is extremely rude. Thanks for nothing Ritche's.
Description of Work: I contracted with this company on June6, 2011 to trim back branches from my neighbor's trees that were hanging over my roof. The cost estimate was very fair. I'm still waiting for the work to be performed.

I spent $525 on that service. I would tell other members that the owner Chuck was so professional and so nice. The price was excellent. They took the two huge pine trees down, cleaned everything up, raked it to flatted it out and the manger even trimmed a couple of branches on the side of the driveway where their truck was parked. I did not even pay him for trimming those couple of branches and he was just really, really nice and I did not have any money to give him a tip, so I mailed him some money and he mailed me a letter back thanking me and saying how nice that was and he did not have to do that. There were three people all together that came out and did the work and it was the owner and 2 younger men helping him and they were all really professional and they looked professional. They were there and weren?t standing around wasting time, but got there did their job and were finished.
Description of Work: I used Ritchie’s Tree Svc on the 17th of April 2010 and they took down two huge pine trees down that were up to the sky.
