Homer Tree came out and took down ten- 100+ ft tall Red Oaks lost to Oak Wilt and then took all the stumps out. They were very professional and skilled. Despite our greenhouse under the trees they did zero damage to anything with all of their large trucks and high work dropping massive logs. The price was amazing and they beat 4 other companies and even solo jobbers by thousands. I recommend them highly.

We had considerable storm damage from the June 6th storm. We lost 4 trees plus damage to many others. Not only did Homer Companies give us a great price to remove all the damaged trees and grind the stumps, the work was performed quickly and thoroughly. The Homer "team" was very easy to work with and went beyond expectations to address all of our concerns.

I could not be more grateful for the kindness shown to my husband and me from Homer Industries. I had questions regarding mulch for our home and got quick answers which we so appreciate. Todd was just amazing at staying in contact and Jessica helped us finishing up and finalizing things. Having been in customer service myself for decades, it's so refreshing to see how caring they both were and we will be forever grateful and loyal.

Homer Tree has taken care of my trees multiple times and the job they do is beyond outstanding. They have turned my overgrown backyard into a liveable space, and have removed bushes and trees that were not necessary/dangerous to my dogs. They work fast and effectively and I absolutely recommend reaching out to them for any tree needs!
