RTEC was at my house today to removed a large Magnolia that was badly damaged by the recent snow. They did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. They arrived right on time, worked efficiently and quickly and cleaned up so well it was hard to tell anything have been disturbed. Over the past several years, I have used RTEC for all the services I checked above, and have always been very pleased with their service and professionalism. I also appreciate that they are not eager to take down trees that don't need to come down. In this case, the damage was too extensive for the tree to recover.

Weve used RTEC for many years for tree maintenance and cant say enough good things about their service. We use them for tree trimming and for regular treatments to maintain our trees health and deal with pests and prevent disease. Their arborist Ben has been especially helpful with advice. RTEC also been especially helpful in emergency situations, once coming to cable a massive, heritage oak in our yard right before a hurricane was about to hit. Highly recommend.

The arborist seemed very knowledgeable and gave sensible advice about caring for my trees. The crew that came to do the work was on time and professional. The trees looked great when they were done and the crew cleaned up nicely before they left. All in all, working with this company was a great experience.

Our experience with RTEC was great. The arborist (Ben) was knowledgeable, informative, and not pushy at all. Great follow up and response time. The crew that completed the work was punctual and professional. The health of our trees is important to us, so we really felt at ease knowing that the proper equipment and technique was being used. We would recommend them. Thanks, RTEC!

All the people I talked to at RTEC Treecare were friendly, professional and knew their business. I had a big tree growing over my house that unfortunately died. RTEC, as expected from their reviews, did a great job from the arborist to the guys who took away the wood. They took care and cleaned up our yard. I would use them again next time we need work done.

If you are looking for a company with personable and knowledgeable staff, and absolutely professional tree care, I highly recommend RTEC. Starting with Ben's visit and honest assessment using his education and extensive experience, and a clear explanation of my needs, to helpful and efficient office staff, and most importantly - an excellent job tree trimming where clean up was immaculate, the experience was terrific. I highly recommend RTEC Treecare!
