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!!
