"The quality of work was great. All of the workers were exactly what you would hope for. We had work on an exterior wall, interior wall, sliding patio door replaced, new vinyl flooring by two doors, lots of wallpapering, and carpet replaced, requiring different workmen on different days, stretching the completion time over a few months."

Exclusive stump removal business. Credit cards accepted.
"Called Freeman Stump Removal to schedule. He arrived the next day and had an enormous stump completely ground up in approximately 15 -20 minutes. His stump grinder is a state of the art piece of equipment that did a fabulous job in no time at all. Perhaps most important is the fact that there was no collateral damage from the work, no ruts or tracks in our yard. As we have 3 properties with numerous mature trees I plan on using Freeman Stump Removal in the future."

AR Landscaping and Outdoor Service has been beautifying the Erie region for over 5 years with professional craftsmanship and outstanding customer service.
"HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY!!! The owner of the company, Aaron Richter, took $7800 of deposit money for the project and never showed up to do the job. We signed a contract with this company in March of 2021 for building retaining wall and installing french drainage around our property, as well as grading the ground and pulling shrubs from the flowerbed. The deposit check was cashed on April 1st, 2021. The job was to be started when the ground was dry enough (May or June 2021). Nothing happened then. All summer of 2021 we kept calling and texting, wishing to know why the delay, but he ignored our messages. When he would finally respond, the answer was "in 7-10 days". Same story in the fall of the same year: ignoring messages and calls, and when responding after days and weeks, the same answer was given: 7-10days. When end of November and first snowfall came, we asked him to give us our money back. He ignored that call as well, and we took him to court. The ruling was in our favor, he was ordered to pay the money back, which he never did. In March of 2022, he agreed to at least install the drainage and remove the shrubs for the money he already took from us. Spring, summer and fall of 2022 came and past, but, again, he never showed up. He brought bobcat excavator, parked it on our property for 77 days in fall of 2022, and the bobcat then was moved away. Stay away from this business! Save your money and avoid frustrations! He never gave us any explanation as to why the job was not done. He stated that he had bought the wall blocks with our deposit money, but when I repeatedly asked to come and get the blocks from him and take it to my property, he ignored those calls as well. This company does not deserve even one star. And there is nobody to protect you from business and people like this. STAY AWAY!!!!"

FAQs for tree service projects in Waterford, PA
You might remove a tree for free if it’s small, easy to reach, and your city doesn’t require a permit. Call the planning or public works office first to be sure. If they give you the green light, follow all safety rules, wear protective gear, and ask a friend to spot you. When in doubt—or if the tree is tall—hire a pro instead.
In many cities, you’ll need a permit—sometimes even an arborist’s report—before cutting down a tree. Start by calling your local building or planning department. They’ll tell you whether the tree is protected, how big it can be before a permit kicks in, and whether the work has to be done by a licensed pro. Get written approval before scheduling the job to stay on the right side of local rules.
It’s best to leave healthy trees alone—they add shade, boost curb appeal, and support wildlife. Take one down only if it’s dead, diseased beyond saving, or posing a real safety risk. Check local rules first; many areas protect heritage or street trees.
When removal seems necessary, bring in a licensed arborist for an on-site assessment and written recommendation before you book the crew.
If you’re torn between trimming, pruning, or full removal, start with an honest health check. Trim to shape the canopy or encourage new growth. Prune when you spot broken or diseased branches that could spread trouble.
Plan on removal only if the trunk is hollow, several major limbs are dead, storm damage is extensive, or the tree leans dangerously toward a structure.
A tree that’s 15 to 20 feet from your home isn’t automatically a problem. Healthy, small species often coexist just fine with houses. Trouble starts when the trunk shows decay, roots crack the foundation, or overhanging branches threaten the roof. Bring in a licensed arborist for a close look and written recommendation before you decide to remove or simply prune.
Timing hinges on size and complexity. A small tree might be gone in a few hours, a mid-sized one in half a day, and a giant could keep the crew busy for one to two full workdays. Add extra time if you’re grinding the stump, hauling wood, or navigating tight spaces near power lines or fences.
