THE ANGEL OAK: A TREE OLDER THAN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

At a staggering 65 feet tall, the Angel Oak has shaded John’s Island, South Carolina, for more than 1,400 years. That means it sprouted 1,000 years before Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the New World. Historic records trace the ownership of the live oak and surrounding land back to 1717, when…

RTEC Treecare was terrific!

RTEC Treecare was terrific.  We have worked with other tree companies in the past and had problems, including no-shows and last minute cancellations by them since our job was small.  With RTEC, however, the whole process was simple start to finish.

I contacted them by email, they got back in touch with me quickly to schedule am arborist to come look at the the job.  We met, talked, and I showed him what we needed to have done and asked his opinion.  He didn't try to upsell me on anything.  The next day he sent  a simple and clear (as well as reasonably priced) proposal back to me.  As soon as I signed it, we determined a date for the work to be done.  The 2-man  team that came to perform the work was on time, efficient, polite, and did a great job. They took good safety precautions (both for our yard and for themselves.) They also left the yard looking cleaner than when they found it!  They were great and our trimmed tree is happy and healthy -- and better off for the work they performed.

My only note is that if you live in a rowhouse like ours or a downtown neighborhood with crummy parking, when you are making the appointment, ask the person to write down that a smaller truck is needed.  The team brought the big truck and lucked into parking, but if they hadn't, it could have been a problem.

When they came out to complete the job the men were professional, courteous, and efficient.

I hired RTEC to take down a tree infront of my townhome that was looking at least half dead after my neighbor's referral told me the tree was fine but had no real explanation as to why a third of the leaves didn't grow back since last year and another third of the leaves present looked dead hanging on the limbs next to a few bright green leaves left. RTEC's arborist explained the likely scenarios of what caused this plus how the tree had probably outgrown the little lot it had to grow because the previous owners overfed it. It was bigger than the rest of the trees on the block planted at the same time. When they came out to complete the job the men were professional, courteous, and efficient. They were nice about moving their equipment out of the way of neighbors getting in and out of the tight area and cleaning up on my driveway and neighboring driveways where it couldn't be avoided to have some sawdust spreading around. They left my front plot looking clean and ready for fall planting. They also left me a couple extra bags of soil to put down after I apply a weed control agent later.

It was a pleasure to work with Ben who is a polite, knowledgeable professional who clearly enjoys his work.


We moved into our home about a year ago and realized that one of the tall old sycamores near the street was rotting and would need to be removed.  The arborist,  Ben promptly met with us and explained that the tree had 2 fungi (which he showed us) and confirmed our suspicions.  At our request, he walked the property and explained the types of  trees we have and assessed the health of them.  Discovered we have a Canadian Hemlock and Ben showed us the insect evidence on the tree.  These trees are dying as they are prone to the wooly adelgid insect. Because the tree is beautiful and not that common, and the tree was able to be treated, we agreed to the tree injection that kills the insect. It was a pleasure to work with Ben who is a polite, knowledgeable professional who clearly enjoys his work.  No pressure to buy RTEC services.  Regarding the tree removal, the sycamore tree was near the power lines so RTEC coordinated with the utility company and had the utility company come to assess the work that would be done.  There was a delay in the tree removal but that was due to the utility company.  As far as to the actual work in  removing the tree, the crew was professional and removed the tall tree without any issues. They ensured the stump was ground down and cleaned up the area--just a little sawdust remaining.  Our neighbors echoed our assessment in  how quickly and professionally the work was done that day.  Regarding the hemlock treatment, RTEC has a process to notify neighbors if they are going to be on their property (a form is completed and the neighbor notified). Our neighbor appreciated the notification. On the day of the hemlock treatment, the person who was treating the tree, first knocked on our door to identify himself and explained what he was going to do and the time estimate (30 mins).  Again, polite, professional service.  We are highly impressed with the level of service, knowledge, and professionalism.  We are having RTEC treat our dogwoods in the spring.

RTEC has very professional, high quality, timely services.


I have been a customer for several years. RTEC has very professional, high quality, timely services. The prices are much more than the numerous "drive by" tree care quotes I get, but I am are very satisfied with the value of the arborists' recommendations and crews' implementation of trimming, feeding, disease prevention. We appreciate the cooperation from RTEC about our special requests for trimming and near property lines.

I give them two thumbs up in addition to the 5 star rating!

These folks are so professional, on time and reasonably priced. I found them online this Spring when we had some major landscaping done in our yard and several mature trees were attacked by the infamous tent caterpillars (those things devour everything in their path!). RTEC came in, analyzed the issue, and even did some work for free on a tree we didn't notice had same issues. I give them two thumbs up in addition to the 5 star rating!

Super easy to self-schedule online, and offered honest advice and information – no hard sell.

Fortunately, I received a postcard in the mail right before we had a tree emergency outside our home. I researched several companies and was thrilled that I went with RTEC Treecare. Ben did his free consult as advertised - super easy to self-schedule online, and offered honest advice and information - no hard sell. The work had to be postponed once due to weather, but Ben and the other staff kept in touch to keep me posted and reschedule. The team that came out to do the work was professional, wore all the appropriate safety gear, even used a leaf blower and rake to clean up debris in the yard. I would absolutely call them again to take care of my trees.

The trees look great and have obviously enjoyed the haircut they got. Thank you RTEC!

We have used RTEC a couple of times in the last three years and were very happy with the service. Ben and his team are very knowledgeable, up to date with the science of trees, and, most importantly, listen carefully and truly care. They pruned the trees on my property with an eye to both the trees' health and the aesthetics, offered excellent advice and performed physically dangerous and difficult work with great efficiency and professionalism.

These guys were great!


These guys were great!  At the walk-thru, the arborist spent a lot of time with us trying to find a sensible solution to a 3-tree problem and came up with a workable strategy for all three tress that was the best cost/result compromise of any of the bids we got on the job.  Was it the cheapest bid?  No, it was a little bit higher, but after having 3 contractors come out to do estimates, they were the ones who did the most careful review of the situation and did the most to gain my trust.

I appreciated the line-item proposal that fully detailed the work to be done to each of the trees and also detailed what we needed to do in terms of permissions/approvals before they came on site.  It was a refreshing change from, "Prune three trees at [address] for $XXXX."

RETC did a fabulous job, the crew was very professional and, much to my embarrassment, they left the site tidier than they found it :)

It was such a pleasure working with RTEC Treecare during a time of crisis


It was such a pleasure working with RTEC Treecare during a time of crisis - after the ice storm on December 9, a tree split in half and fell right in front of my house, totally blocking my front door.  They were able to get out to my house that day and clear the area to entering/exiting my house. The RTEC professionals I worked with - Ben, Kelly, and their crew - were so professional, friendly and kind during my time of need.  All of the individuals I worked with had a great customer service attitude.  I would recommend them to anyone who may need their services.

I am a Pastor at Barcroft Bible Church in Fairfax, Virginia and RTEC Tree Care has done some great work  for us.  Between January and March of this year, RTEC has pruned a number of trees on our entry lane and over 12 trees on our property.  When their team showed up they were very courteous  and they worked very hard.  They gave us great advice on how to improve the looks of our property and then they made our trees so much more attractive.  They came back several times and continued their great work.  We as a church were very appreciative of their work.  Our Deacons had pet projects that they wanted to do for years on some of our trees and RTEC did exactly what they wanted and even more.  Thanks guys for a great job well done.

They worked non-stop for 6.5 hours on July 4th!

We had a tree fall on our house (through one wall + substantial damage to the roof, including 6 large holes) on late afternoon July 3rd.  I called RTEC because they had done a great job pruning our trees in the past.  The receptionist tracked down a manager and he was at our house within 30 minutes of the call.   He assessed the situation in a thunderstorm and arranged to have a crew out at first light.  It was a very treacherous situation, our house is on a steep hill and it was a very large tree that pierced one wall and was dangling from the roof in front of several windows.  To make it trickier the limbs were intertwined with the roof trusses. They worked non-stop for 6.5 hours on July 4th to surgically extract the tree without doing any further damage to the house or to the plants or HVAC units below.  They returned after the weekend to clean up the debris and remove 6 other trees that fell.  They also coordinated with the insurance company, which was a big relief given all the other things we had to worry about.  Absolutely fantastic customer service, very professional pleasure to work with them.  Highly recommend!!

We had a tree fall on our house (through one wall + substantial damage to the roof, including 6 large holes) on late afternoon July 3rd.  I called RTEC because they had done a great job pruning our trees in the past.  The receptionist tracked down a manager and he was at our house within 30 minutes of the call.   He assessed the situation in a thunderstorm and arranged to have a crew out at first light.  It was a very treacherous situation, our house is on a steep hill and it was a very large tree that pierced one wall and was dangling from the roof in front of several windows.  To make it trickier the limbs were intertwined with the roof trusses. They worked non-stop for 6.5 hours on July 4th to surgically extract the tree without doing any further damage to the house or to the plants or HVAC units below.  They returned after the weekend to clean up the debris and remove 6 other trees that fell.  They also coordinated with the insurance company, which was a big relief given all the other things we had to worry about.  Absolutely fantastic customer service, very professional pleasure to work with them.  Highly recommend!!

What a great service! Dan even sent pictures of the root zone when I asked.

RTEC's Arborist Dan came out to my property to look at my Japanese Maple.
I love the tree so much and Dan was able to spot a girdling root at the base. He dispatched his team a couple of days after I signed the contract.
I wasn't home when they did the service and was happy to see the yard clean when I came from work that afternoon.
