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.
Wild Oak Campground
We had several new trees planted by Eric and had several dead trees removed. Very competitive pricing and great service. Very knowledgeable and has continued to help us with all our tree needs. Great company to work with!
Jill Hammond
Exceptional service and quality! Eric did a great job assessing our tree care needs, and he and Vince went above and beyond with some removal work. We will definitely have them back to attend to a few other problem trees on the property in the future.
Paulette Myers
We would highly recommend Eric and Freedom Tree Care. His attention to detail was evident from the beginning, as was his extensive knowledge of our specific trees and shrubs. He was very thorough in his work and meticulous in clean up. We will definitely use his services in the future. Our large Pin Oak is so beautifully shaped. It has never looked better!!
Curran Swift
We liked the careful pruning of our lilac bushes and crabapple tree. The tree was transformed from a tangled mess of branches to a very nicely shaped tree.
