* I was very pleased with the service we received from Richards Tree Service. They responded quickly
when I had an emergency on a Sunday afternoon, having had a tree branch fall onto our power lines,
(and later removing the tree). I would not be afraid to recommend them to anyone.

Thank you for the prompt service. I appreciate that you were able to work so quickly when the power
company didn’t show up when they were supposed to. I would recommend you to someone in the future.

*You guys did a great job! That tree was way over the powerlines and I didn't think
anyone could have gotten it down without taking the lines out. Very professional
and a good clean up. -M. Schnider Collinsville IL.

*Richard's Tree Service did an excellent job for me. They dropped a large Sycamore, that
was next to power lines, and a larger Cottonwood that was threatening my house.
They were efficient and capable. -S. Nuernberger MD. Collinsville IL.
(See gallery pictures 122-115.)

 

*I had a tree that was about 80ft tall that was splitting down the trunk do to damage from the ice storm, endangering
my house as well as the neighbors. The tree over hung the house about 20ft on one side, the main power lines in the
front, and the neighbors house on the other side. This tree was huge and I knew it had to come down before it split
all the way and crushed our houses, so I called Richards Tree Service. He came out right away and confirmed what I
had feared, this tree needed to come down soon or it was going to get someone killed. Richard and his crew were
able to safely remove the tree without damaging either of the houses or the power lines, and for that, they have
my thanks. I highly recommend Richards' to anyone, they did a great job. -B Heenke, Glen Carbon IL.

* As a result of the devastating ice storm in December 2006 we lost a majority of our shade trees – including
three tall mature river birches. After the trees and branches were removed we were left with three large tree
stumps. We needed to plant a replacement tree or trees but where would we do the planting? An obvious choice
was where the river birches had been - so as to provide shade for the hostas that had been planted in the shade
of the original birches. We decided to have one stump ground out and to plant a tree in that spot – and we would
plant another tree mid-way between the two remaining stumps.

I contacted several local tree service specialists and chose Richard’s Tree Service to do the work. Richard
described the machine he would use and said that he would minimize damage to the planted bed around the stump.
He also said he would go as deep as possible so that we would be able to plant a sizable tree in the spot.

In mid-March Richard did what we had hoped. The tree stump was ground out and we have since planted a Forest Pansy
Redbud tree where the River Birch stump had been. There was minimal damage to the hostas – which at the time of the
stump removal were still below ground level – but have since leafed out and flowered.

At the end of May two 35 foot long locust tree branches broke as a result of earlier ice storm damage and then by the
weight of accumulated rain water on the mass of leaves on the branches. The branches, which grew about 40 feet up the
main tree trunk, did not crash to the ground but hung up like a hinge – directly above a planted border at the edge of
our woods and in close proximity to a tricolor beech and a smoke tree. We needed quick action as there was the danger
that the large limbs would break off and fall at anytime. But we also wanted to minimize damage to the garden. I
contacted Richard and the job was completed speedily and to our satisfaction. And again, the price was right!

If you have tree problems I would highly recommend calling Richard’s Tree Service to provide you with the solution.
I am glad we did. -Tony Wilbraham, Glen Carbon, IL. (Stop on the Garden Tour 2006)

* I called Richards' for an estimate (to have about 100yrds of trees and brush cut back 10ft from the side
of the driveway). He was here as specified. He worked with me to get what I needed done, for a price I
could afford. Richard and his men were experienced and VERY careful. They completed the job to my
satisfaction, in a prompt manner. They also cleaned up the job site so I wouldn't have to. I am
completely satisfied and will hire (Richards') again. -J. Cunningham Edwardsville IL.
