Hello, this is a very happy customer. I had the guys come out a month ago or so. And they worked on my trees and did a very good job. I had one tree that during a little wind loosened up, and I needed to have them come out and tighten it up and they came out and they saw a few more that needed to be done. And they did all of them, so they all look fantastic way beyond what I expected, super happy read more

I had a big maple tree split during the wind/rainstorm last week. The tree clipped my neighbor's house and a large section of the tree remained at risk of coming down. Robert, the owner, was there same day to assess risk. They were working jobs across the city, but Robert got me on the emergency list and came out the next day to re-assess where they could play their spider lift. The crew showed up, went over the job with me and got to work. The got down the dead section and took a lot of weight on the portion that is still healthy. Before they left, the crew talked with my neighbors and I and removed one additonal unsightly limb at the neighbors request. Def went above and beyond. I could not be more impressed. read more

R & R Tree Service - Tree Services Near Me - Salem, Oregon

A very unprofessional team from R&R came to our apartments early this week and left a mess behind after trimming trees and cleaning gutters. our patios had tree debris, rotted leave matter and mud everywhere. Enough of the tenants complained to SMI, because a cleanup team of 3 showed up this morning and made another sloppy attempt to cleanup the mess they left behind. Most of them were the same crew and clearly were not happy. While one carried around a trash can, 2 had rakes and half-assed the cleanup, kicking some debris further into the bushes, rather than clean it up, one was on his phone the whole time I was watching them. We still have some muck laying under the bushes. If R&R really gives a s---, may the owner could come over to the Waldo street Apts and see his crew's "professional work" read more

Have used R&R twice, trimming of several trees and removable of a large pine close to the house. Always impressed with their customer service and communication from the office, and professionalism of the whole team. Very happy with the service. read more

Had our big tree removed in the front yard. R & R did a fabulous job being on time, getting the job done and the cleanup was out of this world! Work ethic was top of the line. Professional, polite and definitely would recommend and we would use them again! Very satisfied with cost. read more

Didn't ask them to come make an estimate. Some guy calls. I don't answer it. He comes and said it was different number he called. Walked around telling me this and how good it will look. Not the weight from the ice storm and the weight of each branch that needs to be removed due to safety and property damage . The estimate was double than all the others. Be careful and have other companies look to see what really needs to be done. read more

The crew came out first thing this morning, checked in to make sure everybody was on the same page about what needed to be done. The crew got to work right away, did an excellent job, and cleaned up before they left. Very fast and efficient. Ryan, who I worked with on site, was very nice, polite, and professional. I'd highly recommend the service to anyone. For the OCD people, they don't know their schedules until day of service. So, it's up to you to check in with them to determine what time they'll be there. It's why I gave four stars instead of five. Because I'm OCD and feel like they should call the day before to confirm. I had to call them. But crew service is five s read more

Had a great experience with over 8 different people on their team for a difficult project. I was even the picky person to make sure I was able to pick the exact tree being planted and double check what was being delivered. The project involved a few necessary phases and through all of them their team was just focused on me. This business isn't easy, would recommend RR and will have them on next project. read more

R&R are price gouging people affected by the forest fires in the Santiam Pass. Quoting prices way above and beyond normal prices. Before excepting any agreements with this company and make sure you get multiple quotes. They should be disgusted with themselves for treating victims like this. Complaints have been filed with the Oregon department of justice and the Better Business Bureau. read more

R & R Tree Service - Tree Services Near Me - Salem, Oregon

So disappointed. My 40+ year old tree has been butchered. My new gate was damaged by the team as they removed limbs, which R & R refused to repair. They have minimized my complaints. At one point saying " maple trees grow quickly." Please see the before and after pictures. This tree will NEVER be the stately beautiful tree it was. Beware. Do not let them do any work unsupervised. I am regretting allowing the work to be performed while I wasn't able to be present. read more

I have used them five times throughout the years. I wish I had used them this time. Unfortunately I did not. But they really were a saving grace to me today! They fixed an unsafe tree for me today. Thank you R&R for your speed, courtesy, professionalism. read more

I had interactions with office staff, the person who gave an estimate, 2 tree fellers that removed arborvitae, and a separate person for stump grinding. Everyone was professional and friendly. We were given a very reasonable bid. They did a fabulous job and accomplished everything they said they would. I'm very happy and will be contacting them about other trees on our property later in the year. read more

OK, so they were 2 hours late without calling (sorry, 4/5 for that). However, these folks were great. Went over and above what I expected - responsive to my requests, offered to leave the wood cut into fireplace pieces and cleaned everything up. Lead guy took one look and called up several reinforcements! We had to work with our back neighbor (who owns the trees) and she commented that she couldn't even tell they were ever there. They even were willing to put a rope 35' up in one of the trees for me to put up a wire ham radio antenna. The cost was very reasonable and these folks were professional and personable. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Please don't use them. I had them come out on October 17th, and the crew was aggressive when I addressed that they didn't do what was listed in the quote. Robert came out and agreed that the work hadn't been done and scheduled a call back to actually do the work I paid them to do on November 7th. Surprise! They didn't do the job right either. Along with not doing their job completely and correctly, they also broke my gate latch, left a ton of debris, branches, and wood from trimming (even tossing it in my neighbor's yard), trampled my plants, and left a pile of unchipped branches underneath the wood chips they left for me (enough that it took 3 yard debris containers to get rid of the branches). I suggest hiring anyone other than this company as I had TWO DIFFERENT CREWS the Salem, OR area come out and do a completely unacceptable job. The ONLY good thing I can say about this company is that Robert tried to make it right, but his employees aren't capable of getting the job done even when given a second chance. Don't bother with this company --you won't get a refund offered and you won't get the work done. You're better off spending the money on the tools to do it yourself rather than paying them to do anything. I'd also watch them very closely as they STOLE my $65 tree stakes when they removed a tree. read more

R & R Tree Service removed 2 huge Ponderosa Pines from our backyard. 50+ years old, over 100 feet tall and only 5 feet from our house. Profesional team work got the job done, even with snow and freezing temperatures. They were the best of 3 bids and did everything they promised to do without problems. We are very impressed and highly recommend them. read more

See all

Estimate was not even close to the work that was performed. I could say so much but don't even want to waste my time. Would never recommend this company and don't even want them back to finish and clean up there mess. read more

I was appalled by the crew that they had ? The "foreman",screamed at a woman horrible, awful names, and laughing and his crew was just egging him on. honestly, i didn't feel safe while they were around. Use them at your own risk. read more

I can't say enough about the service we received from R&R. After purchasing a house where the trees had been neglected for years Tim promptly met me and went over the entire scope of work. His crew did a terrific job of trimming and cleaning the property. They did so good that we also hired them to do the fence work and built a custom mailbox post from an image I showed them. The crew was very polite and took great care when working with the equipment and were very pleasant to work with. All work was done within the estimated cost. Great job! read more

Just an onlooker today. R&R crew took out a tall tree on Lamplighter SE. They cautiously "prepped" with ropes and ground crew, then surgically felled the beast. Great crew, very safety-conscious. read more

Very disappointed! The guy came for estimate and he said all the work will be done in one day! They worked for 2 days and still couldn't finish the job! of course charged for 2 days and no follow up communication on the issue! 2 star for quality of their job but other than that, don't rely on the estimate BS! PS. Nice and quick at collecting money! read more

We recently had a wind storm that brought down trees all over town. We had one tree fall over our free-standing garage. Luckily, it didn't actually penetrate the structure so damage to the garage was minimal. Despite this, the tree broke over the top and extended into our circular driveway. R&R arrived at our office within two hours and had all of the major wood removed within another two hours (this was a 120 foot pine tree, about 16 inches wide at the base!). This was also late in the evening with the storm still raging; they didn't get done until after 10 pm. The next day they returned to clean up remaining debris. Fantastic, expedited. service, and according to our insurance agent they only charged us about half what they normally see charged. read more

i would of given a 5 star rating... for the service i had done a few years back (cleanuped up like they weren't even there) and if this years service would of went great...but it didnt... i didnt mind the price we paid to have our huge tree cut down.. i wasnt asked this time around where we wanted the rounds placed, when i was moving some of the other toys i had out...tree was being cut down for safety reasons... i lost the use of my back yard due to the placement of the rounds... also i got extremely upset with the clean up after... rounds left on top for flowers and newly graveled area was covered i sawdust... i asked them to please clean it up as they did before...i had to call office and make sure it would be done... i was told they would be out within next 2 days to clean... a week, another week went by,i called back and got- i am sorry, due to the fires up at detroit we've been extrememly busy...(my job was before that and should of been fixed)... i told them to forget it..i didn't mind paying more money out of pocket to clean up their mess read more

RR tree service gave me a quote for a tree already on the ground a small but bulky plumb tree fell over during the freezing rain. just to cut it up and leave the wood their, I was quoted 1400 dollars . It is already down, I can cut it up now. I asked RR tree service about a tree in my back yard a cottonwood and they quoted me for a tree in the front yard that was already down. Paying attention to details like the front verses the back should be in order. read more

I had a very difficult time with R&R. I called and wanted two trees removed, the stumps ground out, and the chips left behind. I got an appointment for a Friday with the stump grinding being scheduled the following Tuesday. When I come home from work on Friday my trees are gone but there are no chips. I call to verify the stump grinding, and to ask about the chips, and get told I would have new chips dumped on Monday and they would call me back and say why the original chips weren't left. I have them add a note to please put the new chips in the backyard, as I have alley access. On Monday I come home from work and there are new chips...on top of the stumps. They couldn't get their truck into the back, and instead of calling me they bothered my tenant to ask if chips could be left out front. They said yes, and the crew proceeded to drop chips on top of the stumps that were due to be ground out. Since the stumps were supposed to be ground out the next day I got to work moving chips. By dark I got several pickup beds worth of chips moved and the stumps were cleared for the next day. When I got home that day I still had stumps. So I called again, and explained the situation, and that I had not received my expected call back. I was promised I would be the second job the next morning, and that I could expect a call from the owner the next morning to sort things out. I proceeded to move the rest of the chips. The next day I'm a bit sore from moving all the chips so I went into work later in the day. I hadn't seen anyone by when I left at 10:30am, and didn't receive the expected phone call. I called during my lunch just to verify that I did have an appointment, and it turns out I had been bumped to the third spot in the day. Stumps were removed that day. One star removed because they didn't leave chips. Another because I never received phone calls back during the expected times. A third because my appointment time was bumped and I was not notified. I should leave another because the crew bothered the tenant, and didn't call the number on file to verify a change in their orders, but the trees were removed, and the stumps eventually ground so I'll let it stand. Overall would not recommend. They will not follow through, and seem to tell you whatever you want to hear in order to get you off the phone. Crews do not read work instructions. read more

disappointed waited 2 month only to have them cancel after confirming the week before due date, would not recommend them as they left me hanging read more

Spent 450$, might as well have thrown it in the trash. Every time I saw them they weren't working, also it doesn't look like they did a whole lot. Could've trimmed the trees myself. Do yourself a favor and hire some neighborhood kid for half the price. read more

We called to ask for an opinion for a possible ant infestation in an old tree in our back yard. Robert came over and gave us an evaluation recommendations. He was informative, courtious and spent time explaining his reasoning. Very professional and his time is very much appreciated. Several neighbors recommended R&R having used them in the past. Thanks Robert for you time. read more

We are really pleased with the work by R & R! We had a lightning strike on a giant fir close to the house and they did a great job of giving it some tlc in order to save it. (Also trimmed up another oak while they were there.) Quick, professional, knowledgeable, and good pricing. They were recommended to us by a neighbor, and we highly recommend them as well. Will definitely be using them in the future! read more

Tree they planted at a place I own died within a few months. Tried for months to get them to suggest a replacement tree and suggested we split the cost. Despite nearly weekly calls and emails to them for several months, I could not get any further. They were always polite but it was like dealing with a brick wall. Finally I gave up; I researched on my own and bought a replacement tree at a local nursery that came with a 1-year guarantee, which is flourishing. read more

If you need a tree service company to take care of your trees on your property these are really the only guys you want to go to. They've been around for a very long time and have a great reputation for the quality work that they do and the pricing that goes with that quality work is much better than other people charge. From start to finish it take care of the job in a very professional way and don't leave you with a headache afterwards they strongly said yes if you need tree work done you give these guys a shout and it will get done the proper way with no aggravation read more

We allowed their crew access to our yard in order to better reach a tree they were removing for our neighbor. They assured us that we would never know they had been there but in the process of removing the tree they damaged a small fruit tree in our yard. We called and asked if they could replace the tree and were assured that someone would come out to see it and then call us back. 2 weeks later we called again and were told that the entire staff had been out with the flu and, again, that someone would come out and have a look. We went over this again and again for over 2 months but they never came out or called us back. We should have never allowed them access to our property, they are not running an honest business. read more

My next-door neighbor is using this company to remove trees on the borderline between our two properties. Yesterday the company's truck blocked my driveway but still parked in the cul-de-sac. Since the neighbor warned me I parked down the street and that was fine. Today, however, they actually backed up their chipper into my driveway and covered it with limbs and debris. When I discovered this and demanded to know why, one worker said they had permission. Permission from whom - my neighbor? They said that they thought that permission was given on their "bill". I stated the obvious - that I, and I alone, own the property and would be the only one to give permission for use of my driveway, and I hadn't done that, nor had they asked me. Since the driveway was vacant, I'm sure they thought that I wasn't home and would be none the wiser. They did apologize, moved, and quickly (somewhat) cleaned the driveway, but may have left additional scrapes from resting their equipment on the driveway incline and/or caused additional cracks from their heavy equipment. Even after moving their equipment from my driveway, they cavalierly continued to treat the rest of my front yard as their own. They broke branches off of one of my front bushes when they stomped on it. And I had to clean up after them just like I did for several hours yesterday. I hope this is a message to the company for workers not to be presumptuous, to communicate, and to not lie about it. I was going to ask for a quote from the company to remove some of my trees but I would never use this company because of this. read more

I contracted with R&R to have a 20' maple removed and have the roots ground down to 6" below surface out to 12'. I clearly communicated that in the contract. They did a good job felling and removing the tree, but after I got home and looked at the job, the roots were still showing on the surface just 2' out from where the tree was. I called and I believe it was the owner who showed up. I showed him the problem and he saw that it was not done to contract but then he had some attitude with me and told me how much it would cost him to have the grinder come back out and finish the job. I told him that if it had been done right the first time he wouldn't have had to come back. I found the guy a bit of a bully, but I don't have time for bullies. He sent his grinder back and finished the job right. I will not be using or recommending R&R in the future. He could care less because he gets lots of business and has nice pretty white trucks to show off. Guess who's paying for them? Not me! read more

Where should I begin? First I received a quote. Then the work was scheduled, and re-scheduled twice. We were waiting for their super expensive bucket on a track machine, only one of it's kind in Salem. They were able to work one day without it (we removed one oak tree and pruned two others). The clean-up was minimal. I didn't realize that the workers had covered up debris (branches, moss, dirt) under the tarp that covered our woodpile. They needed to uncover it to drop limbs so they wouldn't tear the tarp. They covered it back up nicely, then when we went to get wood we found the mess. They did blow off the end of the garage and the driveway of debris with a leaf blower. Then the track machine showed up. Wouldn't run. Then it showed up again another day (two weeks later). Wouldn't run. That crew left cigarette butts that we found after they left. They also made big ruts in our lawn. The trees were pruned with a man climbing the tree instead of using the bucket. A limb hit a metal sculpture that was in our yard. Dented it a little. I guess they didn't think to move it. And get this, the same limb hit their own pruner! (a pole with a blade on it). They left it under the tree!!! It was broken so nothing could be pruned from the ground after that. The clean up was minimal again, in our front yard, They chipped the big limbs, left the small ones and lots of big piles of moss. No blower for small debris. One worker said a worker backed over it with a truck a few days before. This was a very expensive job; I did not choose the cheapest quote. I thought I was picking out the company that would do the best job. Never again. I will need to hire someone to do the clean-up they should have done. I do not recommend this company. read more

I got the bid and it was a great price...or so I thought. It would have been a great price if what they did was what I asked for. They never contacted me before or after the job. They didn't do half of what was suppose to be done and I had to call several times to get someone back out, when they came back...still not done. I'm very disappointed my tree was suppose to be cut all the way up and back to my property line, they cut maybe 10 branches and still half the tree is still on my property. I think they need to listen to the customer and maybe have some communication when they come out just to make sure it is what was agreed upon. read more

I can't say enough about the great work I've received from R & R Tree Service. Everyone in the neighborhood raves about them and we got the recommendation from Nextdoor.com after moving into town 1 1/2 years ago. We have had them do three different jobs in that time including tree removal and trimming of all the major trees on the property. All have been done quickly, thoroughly and professionally. They just completed today's job of trimming back all the huge cedar limbs overtaking our back property line from the house behind. R & R sent out their arborist to do the free estimate and we discussed how not to harm the trees in the process. (I want to add that I got a second estimate from another tree service that is known as affordable and it was over twice as expensive as R & R.) Today's R & R team leader, Aaron, was professional and thoughtful and checked with me during the process to make sure It was what I had in mind. I had entertained a fantasy that I could do this job myself over time but when I saw the huge pile of limbs and debris by the chipper today I realized I could never have done it. Our back garden and yard look incredible. These folks are true pros. Thank you for today's job, Aaron and crew. read more

We had them out this week to thin and shape 3 trees. We are extremely disappointed. They didn't bother to do the undercut below where they cut limbs. Because of this, long strips of bark and some wood were ripped out of the trunk. My husband and I teach pruning fruit trees for the Master Gardeners. Any of our beginner pruners know how to remove limbs without tearing the bark on the trunk. read more

10 minutes after showing up to do the job their vehicle damaged my fence and house. Two weeks later and the repairs are still not done. Communications have mostly consisted of me asking them what's going on and them saying they're going to show up and then not showing up when they say they will. I have missed work and they have offered no compensation for their ever-changing schedule. Repairs and work completion are still not finished 2 weeks later. read more

Used to trim several trees at a residence. The person sent out to do the estimate seemed to know what he was doing; he made some good suggestions and we discussed in detail how the job should be done, all of which was described in the quote. But the first crew did not follow the instructions on the quote; half the trees were cut too much, the other half not enough. The crew sent to fix it arrived with no instructions (and the main office wouldn't pick up the phone) and just made things worse. Will never use again. Do not recommend. read more

Called R and R tree service for a quote for some limbs that were hanging over our daughters house. I explained that I didn't live there and wanted them to call before they stopped by to look at what needed to be trimmed and the R and R employee, Andrea said no problem the estimator will call when he is on his way over. Then I get a call from my daughter that he showed up and left. I call and talk to Andrea she says sorry but they would take care of what we needed and she would email a quote. After not receiving the quote I call and she had my Name, the street name misspelled on the quote and the wrong email address. We got all that figured out, my name still misspelled but that's OK and she tells me there two weeks out. I told her I had another quote and that I was going to go with them. She says oh wait a minute your in Keizer I can get you next Friday. I said OK schedule it. I call next Thursday to see what time they will be there for some reason they don't call the day before and tell you what time they will be there and the gal that answered the phone says oh no your scheduled for next Friday. I call next Friday morning @ 7:30 am because I don't know if they are coming Today or what time and the gal say's there down the street be there at 9-9:30. I told her to have them call me so I can meet them there. She takes my number. I get a call around 9 and tell the gentleman I will be right there. I get there and open the gate and he walks back under the tree and has the deer in the headlights look. I ask him whats wrong and he say's the quote didn't look right. I explained to him that I had told Andrea I wanted to be here when the estimator was here and she said she had forgotten and that the tree trimmers would make it right. After over two weeks of mistakes I told them I will find another reputable company do the work. I called there office to let them know what had happened and the owners wife said this has never happened before and that Andrea had only been there for two months and apologized for her and said she was going to college too and was overwhelmed. I am sure they do a great job trimming trees but this company is full of mistakes before they were ever able to climb the tree. Two weeks wasted....Never again! read more
