This service is set up very well. Most of the process is organized through a web-portal making it efficient for you and them. They contact you very quickly after you first submit your request for a quote. After you approve the cost, they schedule with you over the phone. Even the payment is done afterward through this portal. Quick and easy.For us, the turn around was a couple days, just a single stump in the way that he took care of quickly and with minimal interaction while I did other things. In and out in about 30 minutes and even gave us advice when asked about things in the area for future planting. All and all, would recommend and will use again for my future trimming needs too.

Good communication from start to finish. Very fair pricing. Showed up on time, knocked out a bunch of stumps in maybe 20 minutes, even went above and beyond what i asked, was very friendly, and even gave me some landscaping advice. Would use again. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend! The owner responded to my initial request for an estimate immediately, had me on the schedule within a couple of days, and the work was done within a week. Great price too!

Ryan quickly responded to our initial inquiry for a quote and we were blown away (in a good way) by his estimate. When Ryan arrived he assessed our situation and offered additional help in removing quite a number of boxwoods for a price I couldn’t refuse. I don’t normally leave reviews but I would 100% recommend him.

We have used Ryan from RVA Stumps for two projects now - back in 2019 and most recently for an ice storm victim. He is a great guy to work with and does great work. Would strongly recommend!PS. Impressed he was able to identify the tree based only on the stump.

Ryan was amazing to work with and provided the most value by far compared to other quotes we received. I would definitely hire him again!

Ryan was great. Requested a quote Friday afternoon for stump grinding, received quote Friday evening, and he came and ground the stump Saturday afternoon. He was prompt, professional and worked clean. Even went lower than his quote because the stump ended up being rotten. Highly recommend and will use for future tree work. Thanks Ryan!

He worked with me to get the job done ASAP after a miscommunication, my fault, but he got me scheduled back in and taken care of within a few days. Great service. The stump is gone and I couldn’t be happier. Peace.

I cant speak more highly of RVA Stumps. Starting with the request for a quote, Ryan was quick to get back to me to set up a time for him to visit my property. On the date of the walk-through, he was on time, (Actually a few minutes early.), he answered all my questions, thoroughly and clearly explained what he would/would not recommend doing, and what was covered in his work. He has a very friendly and service-oriented demeanor. Within a few hours, he had sent me a detailed, easy to read estimate. His online system is fantastic. It keeps estimates, invoices, and payments organized online for easy reference. It emails you notices, informs you of what you need to do to prepare for work in your yard, etc. On the day the work was to be done, Ryan and his son showed up on time and ready to work. Ryan again walked through the work to be completed and showed flexibility in expanding the work to be done, if necessary. The work was completed professionally, safely and on time. During a second visit to grind stumps/roots, Justin arrived on time and paused work for a few minutes to introduce himself and explain what he would be doing. He was friendly, polite and professional. I have already recommended RVA Stumps to a neighbor and to my sister/brother-in-law. If you need a reliable, honest and professional tree service company, DEFINITELY give RVA Stumps a call.

Ryan and his crew were extremely professional and responsive during all steps of the process. We received multiple quotes from different tree companies and Ryans came in just below the others. He was on time for the estimate as well as performing the work and provided confirmations as well as flexibility when scheduling and deciding what we wanted to have done. He was knowledgeable about the types of trees and tree health, and provided honest suggestions about what he thought we did and didnt need done. Ryan and his crew were professional and did a great job on the tree work, even asking us what we thought and whether we wanted more trimmed off. When it came time to move the heavy cut limbs back to their truck, they manually picked them up and moved them in large pieces rather than using the skid steer they had brought because the path they would have had to take in the skid steer may have torn up the yard. Finally, they did a thorough job of cleaning up after the job and making sure no limbs, twigs, or leaves were left. Overall a great experience and would recommend.

Always on time and they clean up when finished. I will be using them again in the future and will recommend them to anyone needing tree removal. Great company!!

We hired Ryan and his crew at RVA Stumps to fell a monster tree in our backyard. They did a fantastic job. They arrived on site exactly when they said they would, and finished the job quickly and thoroughly. The scheduling process was very easy, and Ryan sent reminders prior to our appointment. Their quote was fair and competitive. I highly recommend RVA Stumps for any tree work you might need.

I had a great experience with Ryan and his team. From the estimate to the communication leading up to the work to the actual tree removal, Ryan was professional and responsive at all times. He and his team did a clean, quality and timely job on removing my 45 foot red oak tree. They even took some extra brush I had accumulated. I will definitely use RVA Stumps for future projects.

Great Tree Removal / Stump Grinding Co .......Description of work:They took down 5 of my neighbors trees, the largest tree (~ 10 ft from my house) a 65-75 yr old pin oak, was leaning towards my house with most branches hanging over my house. (Note, the pic I posted is 2 yrs old & does not truly show how large the tree was & how much of it was hanging over my house/ leaning toward my house )When Ryan (Mgr) asked permission to come on my property to take down the tree I was worried about bucket trucks turfing up my yard. BUT no trucks! He climbed up & with ropes, the crew somehow got that tree down with 0 harm to my house!! When they finished, there was no evidence they had been there other than ground up stumps. Also I was fortunate enough to meet the Head Honcho - Hank.Pros:Experienced arborist ( licensed & insured)Offered up his ins papers b/f I could even askRyan & Crew nice & polite,Work was done both quickly & efficientlyAmazing tree skills ( I just sat in a chair watching)Cleaned up area like they had never been thereCons: None

What would have taken me hours (days?), took them less than 10 minutes. I will hire these guys in a heartbeat next time I need tree removal, stump grinding, fence post removal. Communication was on point the entire process, their price was VERY fair, and their crew was friendly and punctual. Ryan is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Took him all of 1 minute to fell a 100 ft tree with precision. Cant recommend them enough.

Review №21

RVA stumps gave us a very reasonable quote and assessment for what we needed done. Ryan and his team cut down three large trees that were close to our house. The guys did an amazing job taking them down while also ensuring there was no damage to the surrounding landscaping and property. Something I also appreciated is that they completely cleaned up the driveway and left it looking impeccable afterwards. We 100% recommend this company for tree removal and will absolutely use them again for all of our future tree removal needs!

Review №26

We met the owner of RVA Stumps after a bad storm left a number of dangerously broken trees on our property. The owner saw the damage from the road, asked if wed like help, and quickly and expertly removed the dangerous trees so we could safely continue to clean up the debris. Ever since, weve hired his company for our regular tree work, and have never been disappointed. From regular trimming to several whole tree removals, theyve done ever job well.After experiences with other tree companies, were so glad to have found RVA Stumps! Truly knows trees, fair prices, and above all - SAFE!

Had Ryans team out to remove several trees, the largest being wedged between my house and power lines. Ryan surgically removed the tree without coming close to the house or damaging any of the landscaping beneath . I was very impressed with the clean up efforts afterwards, no mess left behind! Thanks for your help guys!

Working with RVA Stumps was a great experience from start to finish. I appreciated Ryan taking the time at the onset to thoroughly review the scope of the job at hand. His extensive knowledge of his craft was very apparent during our initial consultation. Both Ryan and his associates were prompt and professional in their communication. The work was competed in a timely manner in accordance with the agreed upon terms. We would definitely use RVA Stumps for any tree related needs in the future.

Wish I had found Ryan, owner of RVA Stumps sooner. I was looking to deadwood my very tall oaks especially those close to my house. Ryan is an arborist so I was aware he and his team would not harm the trees with spiked boots while maintaining their health by deadwooding. Ryan and his team did a great job with an eye to detail that had Ryan going up a tree a second time because he saw some deadwood that had been missed. And their clean up left my yard probably neater than before their job began. All this for a very reasonable price. Add to that, I was impressed by the software that his business uses to communicate with a client via email and thru his website. It handles requests for appointments, delivers estimates and invoices, and allows online payment for those invoices. Very nice, convenient, and professional.

Extremely fast turn-around time on getting us the quote after putting in the request. First-come-first-serve so it took a few weeks before they got out to us, but the job was so fast and professional. Ground three stumps, cleaned up the sidewalk, and was already out and leaving in less than 20 minutes. Well-priced too, was shocked at how much lower the quote was than I thought I would be.

Simply the best tree removal business in the Central VA area. Fair prices & fast service. There is a reason why their lowest rating is 5 stars. As far as Im concerned, there is no other tree removal service that can match their quality work.

Review №46

Excellence and professionalism can sum up my experience with RVA Stumps.I spoke with Ryan when he came to analyze the situation at my house and I found myself not just listening to an Arborist saying what needed to be done, but rather I was speaking with an Arborist who was explaining and defining why this situation was happening, the procedure which would take place, and patiently answering any questions I had.I had a tree which grew into three large trunks from a single stump. It split, with the large stump falling onto my property and laying on top of a tree in my front yard while the other two trunks were left leaning very precariously towards my neighbors property. It was a very nervous situation.It was less than 24 hours later until the tree was gone. I cannot attest personally if that is a response time to which they can address normally, but it happened for me, and I am very grateful.As for cleanliness, all that remained was smattering of wood dust in the road, and as a guy with a woodworking hobby, that is far less evidence than I would leave behind even in my own garage!Professional, informative, fast, clean. Well done!You would do well to call RVA Stumps should you need service. I know Ill be calling them when I require it.

Ryan with RVAstumps was the 3rd arborist I spoke with and was by far the most knowledgeable. He also offered insight into the trees lumber potential and was able to help me mill it on-site. I’m excited for the lumber to dry and appreciate all Ryan’s help along the way. It was a pleasure working with you!

They responded quickly, gave a great quote and completed the work in a timely manner. They were all very friendly and considerate of my yard and other items while taking down the trees. One tree was a 130 foot white oak which was complicated within the small backyard space and they were able to remove it without a problem. They even cleaned up my neighbors yard and patio of sawdust - great customer service. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone - pleasure to work with! Ryan is great and very responsive.

Review №56

Amazing work!, did everything that was discussed and did it with no issues at all. They dropped two trees for me in a very small tight spaced backyard, no problems. Only thing was it took almost two months after the initial tree dropping to grind the stumps due to weather and schedule conflicts but other than that they did amazing work. Would totally recommend and would use again

We had a Bradford Pear decide it didn’t want to stand anymore one week before closing/selling our house. RVA stumps answered the phone every time we called, showed up out of his way to quote the work, moved things around to accommodate our time frame, showed up early and performed the work as quoted. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. We would highly recommend RVA Stumps. Thank you for helping us out.

At my age, it takes a lot to impress me but these guys are PROS!!!!!!!!!!! Had several trees to trim and a very big tree to take down right beside my garage and lines running through it. We met twice just to insure we had the project details down. They got the job done and cleaned up beautifully while I was out of town. I HIGHLY!!!!!!!!!!

Ryans team took down 4 trees in our backyard in 1.5 days. Ryan was able to come out quickly for an estimate during a busy May season, and was the most affordable estimate we received, along with the shortest wait time to get the job scheduled. They worked with some understandable impact to the backyard, which was soft due to rain the day before. They were careful to clean up all debris and left us mulch and trunk sections for firewood. Thanks for a job well done!

Review №65

They did a good job and were fair. Of the 6 estimates received, they were the lowest slightly, and were the only that would not use a very heavy piece of equipment which I had concern could crack an older driveway that would have served as the access point to cut the tree.

Review №66

Some days you dread someone coming to work at your house, but I enjoyed watching Ryan and his team do our tree work. Came exactly when he said he would be here, his quote was very fair, he climbed our BIG, old trees, with the wind blowing, and did a great job cutting the dead limbs. I was kind of hoping he would drop a limb on the fence I hate that was below the tree, but he didn’t. Perfect job and clean up was also very well done. He went above and beyond what I asked him to do. Guess I should have asked him to hit the fence my husband likes and I do not like it🙄. Next time you come Ryan! Haha

Guy calls at 4:45 to say he stopped by the house for the appointment at 5. Said I wasn’t home but was willing to come back. I could’ve made it back for the 5 o’clock appointment.

Ryan and his team are awesome. We had them take down a really large magnolia tree and root system in our front yard. He was quick to get out and give me an estimate, he was the best price around, and the job he did was phenomenal and professional. They took so much time to clean everything up afterwards and get things back to normal as well. We couldnt be happier! I highly recommend him!

Ryan responded to my email asking for an estimate the same day. He came to our house a couple days later, and he brought his team to our house the following week. We couldnt believe how fast they were! We had 3 large and 1 small tree removed, and another trimmed. They ground all the stumps the same day as well. Aside from the mulch left from the grinding, youd never even know they were there because the did such a thorough clean up job. Ryan even rescued some baby squirrels that had been found in one of the tees. We will definitely use their services again if needed.
