I hired Truetimber to prune my sweet gum. Peter came out we met talked about my objective and scheduled the work. Crew showed up did a great job, hauled away the debris. I noticed after the fact few limbs still a little too close to my house. Peter, super nice, gracious guy comes back out despite it being a brutally hot day strapped on his gear went up into tree and took care of last few limbs. What a great experience! Hire these folks big or small job. Really a good experience for a very fair price. JT Richmond read more

Our yard has over 25 mature trees in it. We love the trees but we knew some of them were declining. We selected Truetimber because we liked the idea of arborists advising us rather than a generic tree service. I could not have asked for a better experience. James came out and walked the property with me. I told him we wanted to save as many trees as possible but were absolutely willing to take out anything that was sick or potentially dangerous. With that kind of latitude I assumed he would tell me 10 or so trees would probably need to come out. That was not the case. He said one old pin oak needed to go (we knew that, it has dropped major limbs several times.) He also pointed out four Red Tip Photinias that were dying (Again, we knew this.) Beyond this he didn't recommend any further removals but did note several trees in bad need of pruning for safety reasons. The quote came in about three days and was very reasonable. The work was scheduled for 8 weeks out. The crew showed up and was polite, professional, and thorough. They cleaned up everything and finished it all in a day. The stump of the pin oak was ground down 4 days later, ahead of schedule. The bill came in exactly at the estimate. A+++ Credit cards and debit cards accepted with a 3% fee attached. read more

They sent an excellent team who did a wonderful job on our yard. Hard working and customer friendly. I was impressed with them and will definitely use again. read more

The employees have positive attitudes because they work for a company that cares. Note the rate of five star reviews with the refrain: I could not be happier. That says it all. read more

I give Truetimber my highest recommendation. Truetimber Arborists has taken care of the trees in my yard twice. I would recommend them to anyone who wants great tree-work done. In addition to the terrific work, their prices are fair and will probably make you smile for the work you need done. It is now time to trim some mighty tall trees in my yard, so I called Peter Girardi, Client Solutions Manager at TT. He served in the Army, got a degree from Virginia Teach in Forestry and Wildlife, and he loves nature. All you have to do is talk to him to find that out. When it comes to trees, Peter's first concern is to not damage trees or unnecessarily remove them. He can tell you "the why" behind every suggestion he makes. I've had several crew members working above my yard. All are professional and personable and give a show to watch when they climb trees and do their work. I scheduled some pruning of dead limbs high up in the trees for the week my grandchildren are here because they will enjoy watching acrobatics above our yard and the work being done. Truetimber - Awesome! Randy Wright read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Truetimber and its employees. We will never use any other company! Last year they removed one of our trees that had fallen into the lake; this week they are removing 3 huge trees in our fenced in back yard. The teams are wonderful, professional, safe, and friendly. Clean up is part of their work. I forgot to add some pics so I'll do it in another review. I would give this company 10 stars if I could; highly recommend! read more

These guys are professionals. We had two trees removed - A large oak and a large Gum tree behind our house. I think 4.5 is a fair rating for this group. Staff: - Administrative staff are very responsive. Mike came by and took a look at the trees and sent me the quote which I accepted. I was subsequently contacted by his scheduler who got my project booked about 4 weeks out. Everything including expectations, payment and services were clearly discussed. Emily was very friendly and answered all my questions. - Tree team came out at the designated day and got to work in removing everything. It took them 2 days to take both trees down, both of which were felled on a day where it was off and on rain. They accommodated my requests to have some sections of the oak left behind so that I could use it on some woodworking projects which was great of them. The team was also very nice and communicative during the entire process - Stump Grinder was also very friendly and took care of 3 stumps in my yard without a hitch. Very fast and educational. Overall team was very good. Pricing was somewhat high. I had 3 quotes for the same work, with the two other quotes coming in lower - one by $600 cheaper and the other by $300 cheaper. I decided to to with Truetimber because my neighbor is an Arborist and he recommended them to me due to their quality of work. The reason why I'd knock down half a star is because at the end of the tree removal they left all my lawn stuff where they moved it in order to fell the trees. It's a small thing for me to move my grill, lawn chairs, fire pit and all the other stuff they moved back to where they were prior to starting, but it would've been nice for them to do it since they moved it. Regardless of this, they did excellent work. read more

This is my second experience with Truetimber Arborists--and they've both been excellent. I didn't realize how much of a difference there is between companies that supply these types of services--in my case, clearing and disposing of thick undergrowth and felling trees. The Truetimber folks really know their stuff. Both of the Arborists who came to estimate the cost of my projects pointed out details I had missed and were able to tell me a great deal about the types of trees and bushes we have on our property and their overall health. And while friendly is great (everyone I've dealt with at Truetimber has always been friendly)--what impresses me most about their crews is how well prepared they are, the level of equipment they use, and their obvious dedication to safety and to protecting the property. I recommend them without reservation. read more

There are so many options for tree removal. You can go with the guy who leaves his card in your mailbox, go with recommendations from a friend or seek out true professionals like the folks at Truetimber. We had contacted someone recommended to us by friends. He came and did an initial estimate that included several trees. It was more than we were prepared to spend at the time and we negotiated a price for removing the tree that was in most danger of causing severe damage. After months of back and forth texts and calls to set a date, we just gave up and called Truetimber and we are glad we did. These folks were responsive, professional and upfront about every aspect of the tree removal. Their price was a little higher than the other guy, but we knew we were in excellent hands and were willing to pay more for it. Once they got into the job, they realized that they would need a crane to take the tree down. They arranged everything, and informed us that it would be an additional cost. The job was more than what we planned on spending, but the level of service we received was well-worth it. The crew was friendly, professional and they cleaned up every speck of sawdust in the yard. Except for the missing tree, we wouldn't have known they were there. Truetimber may be a bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend. read more

I can't say enough good things about Truetimber and their staff. They came out in freezing weather to deal with removal of a tree that had crushed the end of my house within 24 hours of my making the call. I don't know what other services would have charged and don't care. Knowing that they will do the job in a polite, friendly, efficient and timely manner is enough for me. This was probably the sixth time I have had to call them for work at three different addresses and, the way things are going, will probably be calling them again for some preemptive tree removal. Truetimber is a local company with local guys doing the best tree work around. Period. read more

Came out and answered so many questions about our yard and how we can better care for it. What I love is that it was a free consultation, and even though there was no immediate work needed on our yard they didn't try to sell us any unnecessary services. I liked this company from the beginning because they seem to truly care about what is best for the trees/plants, our safety and finding a balance. We will absolutely be using them for any future services! Thank you True Timber! read more

These guys are the greatest! They took out one tree, and trimmed another quickly and efficiently. Then they cleaned up after themselves and even blew off our sidewalk while they are at it . That was One Step Beyond! ANNND.... their fee was really good and fair. Thanks guys! read more

Truetimber Arborists - 4510 W. Seminary Ave Tree removed and husband has no cleanup afterward! - Tree Services Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I could not be happier with this company. I chose them to get some deadwood out of trees in my yard because of their qualifications, which are listed on their site, and the clear expertise of the gentleman who came out to do a free estimate for the work. Despite being originally quoted a two or three week waiting-list, I received a phone call literally three hours after the estimate was done, saying they'd finished a job early in the area and asking if I wanted them to come early. The work was done before sundown. It isn't something one can rightly -expect- of any company, but same-day service is absolutely awe-inspiring, even if it is a fluke. read more

An arborist came to my house 1 month ago to look around. He said he would get to me with a quote. 2 weeks later I still hadn't heard from him so I called the company. I was assured he would contact me by the end of the day, 2 weeks later & I am still waiting. read more

Love the folks at True Timber. Have had them out three times. Excellent workmanship, reasonable pricing, came when promised. They've gotten very popular so may have to wait for the work. read more

I have used Scott and his crews for years. Everyone in the neighborhood seems to too. Very professional and carries insurance on his employees, something fly by night outfits don't. read more

Hired to remove two dead trees. These guys were amazing, and it was a privilege watching them work. They are true professionals who know and love what they do, and it shows. I originally went with the "cheap" company, who showed up with a rusty bucket truck, tore up my lawn trying to get it up my hill and failed to do so, cut out a bush that would have been in his way and left without even touching a tree. The TrueTimber team was extremely efficient, used the other trees and surrounding environment to their advantage, and climbed to remove the trees with care and precision. When they were done, they cleaned the debris and raked the yard. Fantastic work. read more

We had a great experience with this company from start to finish - would definitely recommend. Could not be happier.

Cannot say enough about Truetimber Tree Service Inc. They were refered to me from a neighbor. Met with Peter to go over what I wanted done, recieved a price with a drawing of what work was being done. I got several estimates and theirs was in the middle. The cheapest tree company never wrote a thing down and did not return my first phone call. Very proffesional workers, always called before showing up (my work was done in stages due to weather and being away). My next door neighbor was so impressed with how they handled the trees in my front yard (crane work involved) that they decided to have 3 large pines removed which was done that day while the crane was available. They handle everything, crane, log removal, and stump grinding, all on one estimate. Thats what I like, give me the bottom line, what is it going to cost, don't make me add up different sub contractors prices. read more

This is the only tree service we will use. Scott, Peter, and their guys love trees and will give honest, good advice on the care and maintenance of your trees. The guys who come out to work are skilled, careful, and get the job done quickly. They clean up before they leave and make sure you are happy with the job. Plus, these guys are great civic neighbors and give back to the community. Have never had a problem getting a call back, getting a quote, or rescheduling if necessary. read more
