Client Testimonials
Alice Chang Yin2021-04-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fred was wonderful to speak to on the phone. I was able to show him pictures and videos to help me assess the tree’s condition before he was scheduled to come out. Although, I ended up cancelling since the tree trimming company came out, I would definitely recommend Fred if you’re worried about the health of your trees and plants!
