A pine tree on a house roof brought one customer to Richards Tree Service. In a February 2022 review, the homeowner says Steve gave a prompt estimate, then returned with his crew later that same day to remove the tree. The removal took a little more than an hour. The customer thanked Steve, Matt and the crew for their work. Customers hire Richards for tree removal, trimming, pruning and stump grinding. An April 2026 customer identifies the business as being in Hyannis and describes Steven's team handling a difficult tree and limb removal. After comparing prices with several companies, the customer says Richards charged fair rates, arrived on time and cleaned up thoroughly. Google reports a 4.6-star average from 16 ratings. A separate May 2022 customer describes a very large tree that had split during a nor'easter. Their arborist said the whole tree needed removal, and its position near power lines complicated the work. The customer says Stephen returned calls promptly, explained when he could schedule the job and had a crew that cleared the leaves and chips from the lawn. In a January 2022 review, another customer says Steven came the day after their call, quoted a price without pressuring them or trying to upsell, and sent insurance information immediately. After being hired, the team came the next day, removed the trees and cleaned up. A March 2023 reviewer describes five large trees removed and many others pruned, with bushes temporarily removed and replanted to protect them. In September 2023, a customer who hired Steven Richards to trim trees at their sister's home says the crew cleared limbs away from the roof. A May 2024 customer also reports tree work and stump grinding. Two customers raised concerns in 2024. A May reviewer alleges that a bucket truck sprayed hydraulic fluid over their new patio after the crew removed a fence to enter the backyard. The customer says the company refused to pay their repair estimate and that the owner never came to apologize or fix the damage. Separately, a June reviewer says the business failed to follow up despite repeated requests and confirmations.
I highly recommend Richards Tree Service in Hyannis! They showed up exactly on time with a very professional crew. They handled a difficult tree and limb removal with total expertise. After pricing out several other tree service companies, I’m so glad we chose Steven and his team. Their rates were very fair, the crew was top-notch, and they cleaned up everything even better than I expected. If you need reliable tree work, look no further. — Dave K.
Cannot recommend this business as they do not follow up their work after making many requests and getting confirmation from them.
I would have given zero stars if allowed to. Very unpleasant and unprofessional experience with Richard's Tree Service. They ruined my new patio I had professionally installed and refuse to pay the estimate I gave them to repair it. Removed my fence and rolled a bucket truck in my backyard, rather than using a boom truck like they should have. The trucks hydraulic fluid sprayed all over my new block. The owner has been giving me the run around and never came over to apologize or fix it. Don't use this company. He's a hack!
I had some tree and stump grinding work done. Excellent service and price . I would definitely recommend Richards Tree Service....
I would give Richard's Tree Service 6 Stars if possible. I needed trees trimmed badly around my sister's home and called Steven Richards to do the job. He was punctual, professional, and offered a very fair price. He and his team have excellent equipment. They showed up as planned and went to work. Steven has a great crew who really know what they are doing. The guys did exactly what was asked and even more. I feel very fortunate to have chosen this company to take care of my sister's home so professionally. Her roof is free of tree limbs, and her side, front, and back yard are in great shape for this coming winter. Richard's tree service left the home safe from potential broken tree limbs for this upcoming winter. I really can't Thank you enough Steven. 🙏👏😊 Sincerely, Daryl
