What Our Customers Are Saying
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!
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!

Highly recommend!
Freedom Tree Care did a great job trimming several trees in our yard. Eric was nice to work with, and very professional……and I appreciated the very thorough job they did cleaning up!!
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.

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.
