Barb Mease
Freedom Tree Care, with Eric and Andrew, have done an outstanding job on my many tornado decimated trees, stumps & big bushes! They are very efficient, highly skilled, professional and courteous. They were recommended by Iowa Arboretum as their most preferred, trusted, tree professionals. I highly recommend them! Barb from Cambridge
Jane Sutcliffe
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!
Hsiuting Huang
I’m happy to have found FREEDOM Tree Care and used their services. Eric, a certified arborist, was very knowledgeable and patiently answered all my questions about the condition of our trees. The team was polite and dedicated to every detail. They removed one pine tree and performed an injection treatment on another, and they did an excellent job with the cleanup afterward. Most importantly, their pricing was very reasonable. I couldn’t be happier with their service.
Kara Selim
Thank you Freedom Tree Care! Eric was very helpful in diagnosing the fungus that had taken over our crabapple tree and knew exactly what it needed in order to get back to its beautiful self before spring! Eric and his team were very responsive to my inquiry, professional and efficient. 100% recommend!
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.
