    I had a huge tree in my backyard that needed to be removed. R&D was quick to respond to my call and gave me an estimate the same day. A few days later they came out and removed the tree and ground the stump. Very efficient and professional.

    Service area not honored. Only Turlock jobs accepted.

    R & D Tree Service will not honor service map covering Modesto to Merced. We are in Merced and owner cancels our appointment without notice. Don't waste your time calling his business.

    Roots that I asked to be removed are still here.

    Robert was friendly and responded within a day. He came to our home and gave us a quote for removing three trees. We paid him cash, so he removed another tree for free. I am happy that the trees were removed from our backyard as they had really thick roots coming up. The reason I wouldn't recommend this company is due to the lack of accountability when it came to the broken items in our property by his crew. Robert told us about a few sprinklers possibly getting damaged during the process. We did not expect to have our flag poll light broken, in addition to the concrete in our drive way and backyard being damaged/ chipped from the equipment. The backyard concrete is scratched . There are still a few thick roots left behind in addition to a lot of wood chips. We did call him immediately when we noticed this, but he said the wood chips needed to be watered and the roots left behind, we would have to remove when we landscaped our back yard. I wish the guys he sent would have been more careful. We just bought this home, and now I regret hiring R&D to do this project for us. It's been 3 days since I made my second call to Robert. After our first call I then noticed the damage to our concrete floors. I called and messaged him to notify about the damage I found after his crew left. He doesn't return my call or text messages. Not sure what can be done, honestly. We paid him cash and he didn't provide us any documentation of the work. I would have appreciated a call back or at least hear just a simple "sorry". My fault for not supervising the job. I hate to feel taken advantage of. We were too trusting. This was our experience with R&D company. We hope no one goes through the same experience as we did. This project added more work, stress and unexpected expenses.

    First off Robert showed up on time to give me an estimate, which was very fair, both of which were greatly appreciated. His crew trimmed two trees and they did an awesome job. The trees look 100% better. They were professional, cleaned up after they were done, and very friendly. I highly recommend R&D tree service.

    See all

    I had George "Trim" a couple trees in my yard among other things. When he came to give me the…read moreestimate, he told me that he has been cutting trees for over 30 years and was near retirement. I couldn't tell. George has a true passion for his work. He is an arborist by trade and knows exactly what to cut and, more importantly, what not to cut in order to keep the tree healthy. Also, he is licensed and insured (this criteria was mandatory for me) which put my mind at ease. His quote was very competitive. For the quality of work and piece of mind he provided, my money was well spent. George works with his 30 year old son, who has about 10 years in the tree business and takes after his father. When he arrived to cut my trees, he had a 4 man crew and all of them were decked out in safety gear (a huge plus). I stood outside and watched them work for a while. Instead of just letting branches fall, they tied ropes to them and softly guided them to the ground so as not to damage my fence or any plants nearby. George recommenced that I cut down two trees that didn't serve a purpose in the context of the yard and even ground the stumps out for me before he left. You can't tell they were ever there. When they were done working, George and his crew left my yard cleaner than when they arrived. I wont hesitate to call them again the next time I need my trees cut.
