Since 1957, Richard's Tree Service has been answering the call for expert tree care throughout Northern California. From residential services to large-scale commercial projects, Richard's Tree Service is known as the safe, professional, environmentally friendly tree care provider for your area. That old oak tree has been in your back yard since the kids were born.
But it takes more than a chainsaw to do the job right. Choosing the wrong company can put your trees and yard, your pocketbook, your home and your family at risk. Richard's Tree Service carries both worker's compensation insurance and general liability insurance for your peace of mind. While our crew is the safest team of tree care pros in the area, we understand that accidents can happen and we don't expect our customers to be liable for them.
Some problems with your trees are visible and very apparent to the naked eye. Others call for a closer look from an expert who knows what to look for. Whether you've noticed problems or you're taking a proactive step to preventing them, Richard's Tree Service is the expert choice for professional assessment and diagnosis.
It's frustrating to watch a tree that was once as strong and colorful as any other, fall victim to disease. While disease often leads to death in trees, it doesn't always have to. Your trees deserve a fighting chance, and the tree care pros at Richard's Tree Service have the knowledge and materials to control insects and disease in your tree population.
It's time to remove that old tree in the yard. The next strong wind could spell damage to your home and other personal property and you've identified the risk. But having it removed could pose a risk too, if you don't hire a qualified company to do it. Richard's Tree Service offers homeowners the three most important (and unfortunately rare) qualifications for tree removal- education, insurance and workers' compensation.

Can't give a quote without gossiping with the neighbors. No thanks. If you can't give quote and talk to the person asking for the quote and about what the job is then I am not able to hire you.
Really this company was unable to determine what they would quote us un less they would talk to every neighbor involved. Its not appropriate. They needed to evaluate the tree based on what the CUSTOMER was requesting. Not what the neighborhood wanted. We all know the neighbors want the tree completely gone. Budget and the health of the tree do not equate what the neighbors are requesting.. so that is a

NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE TO SPRINKLER SYSTEMS! So we had a diseased cut down by richards tree service. Everything went smooth until the stump was remaining. We opted for a stump grinding. The tree was a small diseased white birch that probably could dug out myself. The stump grinder rolled onto our lawn smashing a sprinkler head. He then proceeded to cut the stump out. I thought everything went smooth until i looked down and saw he had sawed through about 1.5 feet of sprinkler pipes. I wasn't very happy about it but hopeful the Richards would make it right. The man that grinded my stump could barely

This company may do a good job but only if you can get them to respond. I called and arranged for an estimate in June. I accepted their offer but they said that they couldn't do the job for 6 or 7 weeks. No problem for me. After 8 weeks without any contact I called again. They first couldn't find my job order and then finally located it. They promised a call back during the next day to schedule the work, but nothing occurred. After another week without a call I gave up and went with another company. They must not need the work but their lack of follow up is inexcusable.

Just had Richards Tree Service out on a fairly large job cutting down 6 large Liquid Amber trees at my house here in south Yuba City. They did an amazing job all the workers were friendly and polite. They cleaned up when the job was complete not just around the trees but went the extra mile which my wife and I appreciated very much. Can't say enough good things about them I'd highly recommend them ! Chose them like we did and you will quickly see why they've been in business for 60 years ! A++ Job

Richard’s Tree service is amazing. They just removed 5 large trees and pruned back another, which were over hanging my roof and in very difficult places to remove. They were thorough , careful, polite and super easy to work with. Mark was always happy to give me suggestions and advice. You could not choose a better tree service. They left my property cleaner than they arrived. They are truly the best tree professionals. Thank you so much.

Most important - this was VERY AFFORDABLE. We were so worried that it would be costly to remove 3 very large trees, including stumps. Get a quote! I think you will be shocked.
It's very important that a company do what they say they will do! Richard's Tree Service absolutely did what they promised!
Because the cost was so reasonable, we were able to include stump removal in a "shared area" in our front yard, where our neighbor had a tree removed!
Customer service was fantastic and I am SUPER picky!
My husband was home during the removal. He was happy with the friendly

My neighbor hired this company, Richard's Tree Service, and they were very careless when they were cutting the branches from their tree. They dropped a bunch of branches many times our plants and they cut and broke branches on our own tree that was 20 feet away. But instead of saying something, they covered it up and left. We know for sure we know who not to go to when we have tree problems.

We bought a property with 7 very old, overgrown, never-been-trimmed trees. I figured tree trimming would cost in the thousands and put off getting quotes. Im so happy i found these guys on Yelp. Not only did they give us a totally fair and do-able quote, but when there was a miscommunication about the appointment date, they gave me a big discount. Furthermore, i was nervous about a tree trimming service doing a total hack job and nervously asked them not to "go to far". I needn't have worried. They did a beautiful job on all 7 trees. And finally, they cleaned up after themselves

Richard's Tree Service has trimmed my huge curbside Sycamore tree and my five Bradford Pear trees for many years. They are the nicest looking trees in the neighborhood.
Once the job is complete, the yard and street are tidy, with all trimmings, dust and leaves removed.
Richard's is reliable and professional. No cut corners. Great people.

Richard's Tree Service gets nothing but rave reviews from us. We were pleased with the quote to removed our trees. The crew arrived as scheduled, worked efficiently, were polite to deal with and had everything totally cleaned up before leaving. We would recommend them to anyone. Overall a very pleasant business experience.

I hired Richards tree service to remove two ash trees from in front of my rental. They were fast, professional, and came prepared. They left my place looking way better than when they showed up. Juan used his bobcat to load up the logs into the back of the dump truck while his crew chipped up the brush. Thank you for the great job well done!!

Fantastic experience with Richard's Tree Service. Would highly recommend working with them. Reasonable pricing and exceptional service by all that we came in contact with. We had 3 large liquid Amber trees fully trimmed and will be calling them back for scheduling our other trees. Many on the crew we worked with had been with the company over 15 years which shows loyalty to a company that treats them well. Grateful we found them!

These guys are amazing. We had three huge, horrible china berry trees in our backyard. They were ruining our patio and causing a never ending mess. It had long been on our wishlist to have them removed, but we didn't think we could afford it. Richard's Tree Service came out, gave us a fair quote and soon we were scheduled. I can't say enough about what an amazing job they did. They finished the entire job in less than 4 hours. We live in a cul-de-sac and they expertly accessed our backyard trees from the front. When they were done they cleaned up the whole area, as if they had never

Richard's Tree Service was a pleasure to do business with. We had 3 Raywood ash trees in the front and along the side of the house. Also had a huge dead willow in the backyard that was dropping truck sized branches into the street and backyard. The employees were so skilled and professional taking down the trees. They cleaned up all traces of the trees. Stump and root grinding was well done. They treated our elderly father, who wanted to watch the trees come down, very kindly. From estimate, trees coming down, and dealing with the office was such a friendly courteous experience. We

A really old maple tree in my backyard is slowly biting the dust. Every year we lose several branches and this year the top started to die back at the top. We used Richard's Tree Service after a neighbor's tree crashed during a big windstorm years ago and I called them again for an estimate. I want to save the shade this tree provides (and the beauty, of course). The estimator came out, gave me an awesome price for removal of all dead wood plus what it would cost to "shape" the remaining branches for looks. The crew arrived early this a.m., went to work immediately, prepped
