What Our Customers Are Saying
Michael Wingfield
Eric has been working with me on my trees now for almost two years. He has taken care of my 13 trees quite well and I am extremely impressed. His knowledge is outstanding and far superior to other tree services I have used. He will not recommend work that does need to be done. In fact, he has even given me tips on how to do some of my own work. I strongly urge you to call him for any work needing done on your trees. Freedom tree care isn’t free but the pricing sometimes feels like it is! He is more than reasonable . The pricing along with his knowledge and expertise as a Master Arborist is worth every cent.
Darlene Bryant
Talked with Freedom Tree Care early in the week. They came by to take a look at our project of tree trimming and a stump removal. They presented a very reasonable estimate within less than 8 hours . We approved and they set up a time to come do the trim. WOW! this all done within a few days! Very professional and knowledgeable as well as personable. Eric and Andrew did a great job. We only have to wait for the gas/water/electric lines to be marked to get our stump leveled. They even smooth out, add dirt and apply grass seed if requested. Doesn't get any better than that! We will definitely be referring them to family, friends and neighbors! We are already thinking of other projects! Make sure you give them a call today! You won't be sorry!

Eric gave us a thorough assessment and education about our trees. He discussed options for proactively pruning, treating, and feeding them. He presented us with a plan that was manageable and gave us confidence that someone with specialized knowledge was looking out for our trees! We are so very happy with his service!

Just had the guys from Freedom come and remove the ‘killer limb’ that lurked completely over my roof, front to back. They also took out some dead sections of the tree and now it is growing straight up, not drooping over the house. Then, after chipping the large chunks, they raked and cleaned up all the small trash too and the yard was cleaner when they left than when they arrived. Great work, only took a couple hours, very safety-minded and careful. Would definitely recommend!
Emmali Elsner
Eric did a great job removing a limb that was overcrowding our pine trees! He was responsive, got us on the schedule quickly, and was easy to work with. Would recommend for any tree care needs!!
