What Our Customers Are Saying
Carolyn
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!!
Marietta Denniston
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!
Susan Thorngren
Eric is extremely knowledgeable about tree care, tree planting, trimming, and cutting. He is always professional with his customers. I have recommended Freedom Tree Care to numerous friends and relatives.
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.
Collin Brouwer
Eric planted 40+ trees for us and did a great job. He is always prompt and willing to answer any questions we have. Would highly recommend!
