Tom Richards Tree Services is repeatedly described as friendly and professional, with several reviewers mentioning that the team arrives when arranged. Many also report careful clearing up afterwards, and some note that council permission for protected trees was handled by the company. One reviewer says a tree was left standing when a nest with baby birds was found, with the work returning later. Another says the team was knowledgeable about how different trees grow and considerate to neighbours. One reviewer complains that a team turned up without notice, kept a night-shift worker awake, and that calls to the office went to voicemail, with the workers said to be impolite.
Last Friday, the team arrived to work on our old oak tree which has a preservation order on it. From first contact to last contact, I couldn't fault them. The application to the council was handled by the company and the work on the tree was completed to a high standard. The team were both friendly and professional on the day, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them. The above was a review from 5 years ago. I'm pleased to say that nothing has changed in regard to the comments above. More work was needed, which was completed a week or so ago, and the team are still as professional and friendly as they were back then. Would highly recommend.
Tom Richards Tree Services halved my conifer tree last week and they were great! 3 lovely men who did the job efficiently and fast, clearing the mess away too. Good price. They even stopped the work last month because there was a birds nest in tree with babies, that was so lovely of them, so came back at a later date! I recommend this company if you need any tree work doing. Nothing is too much trouble for them. No fuss no problems, just honest hard work. Thank you for such a brilliant job Tom Richards Tree Services!! Christine Fisher
om Richards Tree Services for a two-part project, including pollarding, tidying, and removing several trees - while leaving the wood behind for our log burner. I was really happy with the quality of the work and the professional service from start to finish. The team was efficient, friendly, and left the area clean and tidy. I would happily recommend them and will be using them again in the future.
Tom was recommended to us by a neighbor and has done a great job over multiple visits. Professional setup with quotes and invoices. Responsive to queries. Job done well - efficiently and cleaned up afterwards. Highly recommended.
Fab job for us reducing two overgrown trees in our garden. Wonderful team and communication throughout!
Excellent service from start to finish. From meeting Tom to discuss work, receiving quote, and then the work done by Colin and the team. Professional, courteous, friendly and involved us all the way along, plus cleaned up very well, afterwards. Tremendous and would certainly encourage others to make use of their services. We will again, for sure.
Really pleased with the work done by the team who were very friendly, cheerful, respectful and careful on my property, it wasn't straight forward for them as access is difficult. Thank you, highly recommended.

A great company to do business with. Very efficient from the initial inquiry, quote and right the way through to payment (which was not asked for until the day after all work had been completed) The quote was very competitive it was laid out so we new exactly what we paying for and what we happen on the day. When we accepted it they gave us some dates to choose from to have the work done. Two people came and cut down one tree and re-shaped another for us. They were polite professional and did a very good safe job. All waste was removed and they cleaned up all wood cuttings leaving the garden has they found it. We are very happy with their work and would recommended this company.

Sam, Tullie & Ollie here today to dig out and top and reduce some trees in the back garden. From Tom coming out to do quotes and put in a planning Application for some tree's with a TPO on them, it was marvellous for some work to be started. Very professional, prompt and courteous, the whole team , even Georgia back at base was lovely to talk to on the phone, all very reassuring about what was going to happen. The guys worked very hard today, I made them a bacon butties and drinks to keep them going 👌. They asked if everything was ok with what they were doing and in constant communication with me, to make sure I was happy, nothing too much trouble, they cleared everything up and used a leaf blower and tree shredder for the cuttings. They are coming back to do more work so would highly recommend Tom and his team. Tracey & Andy Johnson.

Efficient, friendly, clean and tidy workers. Brilliant!!!!! It's good to know they're there for any future works we might need. Many thanks to you Tom, and your team.
A very professional and knowledgeable team. Friendly group of workers who discussed and agreed our requirements then carried out the job precisely leaving the site thoroughly clean and tidy. Ours was a difficult elderly tree to tackle but their expertise made the job look far less complicated. Highly recommended and would not hesitate to use again.
Thanks Tom. My silver birch was taken down very quickly, and not a leaf was left behind. Your men were efficient, courteous and friendly, and I would recommend you unhesitatingly.
Tom and the team did a wonderful job in tidying up my ancient beech tree without taking away any of its majesty.
I just wanted to say thank you for the great job on my trees today. I was very impressed by the care and respect given to my lovely ash trees. They were very careful and tidy too. Please thank the team on my behalf.
I'm a site manager in a school and was very impressed with Tom's team that came to do work making one old oak tree safe and work reducing the heights of some of our boundary trees. They did quality work very efficiently and with a warm and friendly attitude. Excellent customer service. Happy to recommend them and their quality of work.
Excellent service from start to finish. Two trees with T.P.O’s on them doctored. Tom Richards sorted all permissions out and when granted his team carried out the necessary work using all the proper gear in an efficient and courteous manner.
Excellent job cutting back a very large willow tree - checked where we wanted it cutting down to, where to put the wood chips and also cut the larger pieces of wood into logs. Everything left neat and tidy. Very polite and helpful. Would definitely use them again .
The guys did an excellent job in what is quite a difficult location. I will definitely be calling again for further work when required. I can't recommend them enough.
We are extremely pleased with the service we received from Tom and his team. The trees now look very neat and tidy and all the waste was cleared away. The team were polite and friendly and even trimmed a couple of small trees, at their suggestions , for no extra charge. I am very happy to recommend them
Great team and excellent and efficient work. Tidied up very well even in the wet weather! Would completely recommend this company.
Great service from start to finish with everything clearly explained and pricing was competitive.Really happy with the end result and would recommend.
Great professional service. Very polite. Everything was cleared up. Would highly recommend.
I have used Tom Richards twice now and would highly recommend them. Tom and the team are really knowledgeable about trees and understand how different species grow and the best ways to keep them in order. I've had one tree shortened and then a whole area cleared...the stumps ground out...and they left the area looking really neat and tidy. They also are very considerate to your neighbours...the grinding makes a lot of noise! And they work really quickly - no standing around chatting, they just get on with the job. Am really pleased with the standard of work and the end result. Thanks everyone.
The guys did an excellent job pollarding our tree and the service was top quality throughout. Lads who came out were polite, professional and really friendly. Feels you are dealing with a really professional firm who really know their stuff.
We have just had a large conifer removed and we are more than happy with the work carried out by Tom Richards tree services, they are all polite, professional, friendly and hard working and very tidy. I would have no hesitation in using them again and would highly recommend there services to anyone. Thank you for all your hard work !!
Very professional and excellant service all round. Efficent and tidy after the job was done. The guy's who came to tackle the job were very friendly and careful with all the plants and sulptures they had to work around -brilliant well done guy's
We had large amount of tree work completed at our home and are extremely pleased. From quote to completion the job was handled professionally and helpfully by a friendly team at a very reasonable cost. Would highly recommend.
Very please with service provided. Arrived on time. Very friendly team of guys- got on with the job and worked hard until the job was done. very professional and tidied afterwards. Will use again - thank you!
Did an excellent job removing a large redwood from my front garden which had pushed over an old wall. Situated near to the road and with other obstacles around they managed to mismantle it safely with a few hours. Very much recommended.
We recently (April 2021) used Tom and his team to trim back an Oak tree, and to completely take out a tall Fir tree. Tom and his two colleagues were very polite and did a great job. The fir was close to our greenhouse but they took it down to a neat little stump without incident. They trimmed the Oak to a nice shape, and managed to remove branches that overhung our neighbours' garden without dropping anything over the fence. Once the work was done, they completely cleared up after themselves - there were no loose branches, twigs or leaves for us to have to deal with. We highly recommend Tom Richards Tree Services and will definitely use them for all of our tree needs in the future 👍
Awesome job taking down a huge tree in the back garden. Completed in no time at all and left the garden nice and tidy. 👍🏻
I've used Tom Richards Tree Services several times. They are always professional, courteous and do a good job. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Polite and professional staff. Did the job when they said they could at a competitive price. Cleaned up after too 👍
Had Tom to grind down a large stump, very efficient and professional and tidy up at the end of the job. Price was fair for the job and would recomend and we will be using Tom again in the future as we have 2 more large stumps that need doing.Thanks for a great job 👍
Tom himself came and assessed what needed to be done to reduce the height of a Tulip tree in my back garden. The quote was very fair and a date was set for the work to be done. Two of his employees Sam and Jo came to do the work. They were both very polite and efficiently went about their business and had the job done in good time. All the branches were put through the chipper and they made sure the site was cleaned up afterwards. I am very pleased with the job done and would highly recommend Tom Richards Tree Services if you need professional tree work doing at a competitive rate.
Absolutely fantastic service from Tom and his team. Punctual, polite and the quality of the work is first class. The end product is exactly what we hoped for and every cutting was removed and recycled. Spot on!
Fantastic service , they took real care to ensure the trees had a good shape and tidied up brilliantly
We hired Tom Richards Tree Services in December 2020 to remove an overgrown tree and grind the stump. We found them to be very professional with great communication. The team were friendly and handled the work and clean up quickly and efficiently - making sure that we were happy with the work before leaving. Best of all, their prices are very competitive.
We had four trees at the back of our garden pruned & they did a great job. We were keen to retain our privacy despite having the trees cut and Tom & the lads really listened to our wishes regarding this. The garden was left very tidy afterwards. We will definitely have them back next time.
Used Tom to remove a 40ft conifer tree that was creating an issue with daylight not getting through to a number of properties. His team was extremely professional and removed the tree in a matter of a few hours. Unbelievable just how quickly they took it down. They even cleared up after themselves. Work was outstanding from start to finish. Can't say enough about this company to be honest. Always on time and get the job done without any fuss. Amazing work.
Excellent professional service. Great at understanding customer needs . So tidy afterwards to. Used them before and will defo use again . Highly recommend
Highly recommended.!!!! After comparing with other tree services, we now use Tom on a regular basis each year. Staff are always on time, polite, efficient, and always do an excellent job, (Including cleaning up afterwards). We have numerous Leylandii trees in our garden (everyone’s nightmare) The guys always manage to keep them at the height we want and extremely neat. We have "No Hesitation" in recommending to anyone.
Tom Richards Tree Services cut down and removed a cherry tree and cut back two weeping birch trees in our garden. The team were friendly, well equiped, worked well together and did an excellent Job not only in cutting down the trees but also in clearing up afterwards. I have no hesitation in recommending them for tree work.
Excellent efficient service.
Excellent service job done as requested, lads left garden tidy, good price would certainly use again.
Year on year we choose Tom and his team to tend to our very diverse range of trees. Whether they are involved in shaping an oak, dead wooding a black pine or sculpting our eleven mature hollies, their workmanship is always first class. The considerable team have a great range of skills and are always personable and friendly with great customer orientation. I have no hesitation in recommending Tom Richards Tree Services to either residential or commercial customers.
Always excellent service. Prompt survey of work required, date agreed, work carried out very well, safely and site cleared. Work in progress checked by Tom, would definitely recommend
What an excellent service at a competitive price; thanks Tom. The three man team were well equipped with all the right tools, machinery and PPE for the job, which was to fell a large Silver Birch and pollard an overgrown Goat Willow. The team were polite, friendly and worked efficiently, cleaning up thoroughly when the work was finished. Yes, I would recommend Tom Richards Tree Services to everyone.
Excellent service from Tom and his team once again. Wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending. Good job done using quality equipment by very polite and courteous guys. Left the site very clean and tidy!
I would definitely recommend Tom and his team to anyone who has a stove and needs a reliable supplier. We have been using him for many years to supply wood for our stoves at home. He is always on time and the quality of wood is great, as is the price. They vary in size and it is always seasoned, which suits our needs as the stoves are different sizes. There is also a good mixture of hard and soft wood too.
Today we had our beautiful and precious over 200 year old oak tree pruned by the Tom Richards team. They did an excellent job, very professional, they cleaned up after and we are very happy with the outcome. They also took care of the application process to the council, since the tree is under a preservation order. Highly recommended.
Excellent work undertaken, and no fuss at all. Thoroughly recommended.
Very pleased with the work done by Tom and his team. They arrived promptly and did everything as planned. Especially pleased with the way everything was left neat and tidy afterwards. Will certainly use them again. We have plenty of trees to go at.
Tom & his team was very professional, polite, communicated well & got the job done to a high standard. Tom went that extra mile to help, especially because the tree wasn’t on our property. Would definitely use them again, highly recommended 👍🏻
They did an excellent job, were friendly and efficient and left the site clean and tidy despite access not been easy - would definitely recommend this company.
Team from Tom Richards Tree Services completed work yesterday for us and we were delighted with it. They were really professional and expert in what they did and also cleaned up completely before leaving. No hesitation in recommending them and will be using them again.
Very good service! Came when they said they would and did a neat clean job.
The company have done jobs twice for me and both times were punctual courteous and efficient. They did an excellent job each time at a very good price and left the site clean and tidy, taking away all the rubbish. Other members of my family have used them and were also very pleased with the service. Would definately use them again and recommend them to others.
Fantastic service from start to finish 👏 great communication, quote service and wonderful job carried out. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent, professional service from Tom and his team. Having had many trees cut back my garden now looks stunning! Would highly recommend and would not use anyone else. Tracy
Fantastic service from Initial phone call for a quote to the completion of job - The lads that came out were polite professional and left the site spotless - Wouldn't hesitate to use and recommend this company again
They turn up without notice to cut down trees, keeping a night shift key worker awake and all you get when you call the office is voicemail. Guys doing the job are not very polite when you speak nicely to them
Excellent Professional service from start to finish. All the team were efficient and polite. I can fully recommend Tom and his team.
