Owen Tree Service provided a great value and service to our community. They helped us complete a difficult task of approximately 50 miles of needed treatment almost seamlessly. They were very easy to work with, followed and complimented our directive well. The owners along the areas that were serviced, passed on very nice regards for their team. We were very impressed with Owen Tree Service (as well as the community) and look forward to using their services again this coming year and beyond.

I hired Owen to do a tree removal and some pruning for me. Extremely happy with the care they used on my property. I am also using them for my lawn fertilization this year. Arborist seems very knowledgeable.

Responsiveness, Professionalism
Called about having a 17ft tree placed in our yard. Received a call back from Trish you was incredibly gracious with her time and information. Unfortunately, trees that are over 6ft can't be planted by them. However, Trish gave me more than enough info to be confident about having a tree of that sized planted. I'd definitely call and use them for any other future services.
