Eric walked us through the entire house, explaining everything clearly and directly as he went. As a result of his detailed survey of our roof, we were able to get the seller to replace it without additional charges! Eric is extremely knowledgeable about building materials, electrical, sewer, plumbing, and he knows the area very well. Above all, I really respected his honesty and care for his customers. I feel very confident that we now know our property inside and out as a result of Eric's inspection, which has made the whole processing of buying a home that much easier. I would recommend him highly to anyone!

Great job, too good!

This job was on paper and in writing before they began, so I didn't have to worry about being scammed with this local family run small business! Please, give these guys a chance & support the local economy. They did more work than agreed upon, and left my property looking nice, even though I told them to leave the trees where they fell, lol. Thanks, Chuckie Swole! ;l

My yard was over-landscaped by the previous owners and the driveway has a carport so it's not the most accessible space. Ex-Tree came and took it all out in a few hours and also removed other yard waste we had from our DYI plant removals. The crew quick and careful, cleaned up well and not even a single flower in my yard was bent. I've been worried about that pear tree breaking and with the yews, depleting the soil around it. Now we're ready to rehabilitate the backyard and make it safe and functional. Ex-Tree competitively prices services and offers solutions, not just ala carte services. I have already recommended them to friends, and now that I can see into my neighbor's yards and see their trees, will be recommending them to my neighbors.

We've used Abundant Tree Care three times. They removed two large evergreens in one lnstance. At…read moreanother time, we called them when a neighbor's very large tree had fallen on our property and devastated several of our smaller trees. And most recently, we asked them to trim two of the large gumball trees in our yard, anticipating branches that looked likely to fall. In each of these three incidents, they were prompt in their arrival and brought a seasoned crew that worked together. They left the yard free of any brush. We found each one of our interactions with them to be excellent and we would recommend them without hesitation. (signed) Jane Cogie and Edward Brunner, 1010 S. Oakland Ave., Carbondale.

He will tell you the cost and what he will have to do to get the job done right, the first time. I am so sick of other contractors screwing things up and then charging extra to fix the mistake.

He quoted a price and never came to do the job. Many months went by after numerous calls to have Ellis come out to service and he never came.
