Martin Tree Service

I would highly recommend Martin Tree Service! I received a quote quickly which was lower than another quote. The 2 workers, Zach and Andrew came out and did an amazing job! They were very polite, cut up the wood that I wanted and cleaned up the yard from chips and debris. They were very hard workers and made quick work out of the job! Very refreshing to have such polite and kind men that worked so hard! Thank you so much Zach and Andrew!!!

For over 20 years Jeff Martin and I have been competitors. We often bid on the same jobs, sometimes he gets them, sometimes I get them. That’s business. Over the years I even recommended Jeff to people if I couldn’t handle a particular tree. That’s also business.

Recently, Jeff and I bid on a job and I left a sealed bid with the owner’s name on the envelope at the front door. There was no identification on the envelope from my company. It was a sealed plain white envelope addressed to the property owner. I drove around the bock to visit another property but could still clearly see the property where I left the sealed envelope.

I watched Jeff drive up, take the envelope off the property, open it and photograph my bid with his phone. He stuffed the envelope in his pocket, went back to his truck to write up his own bid, which is where I confronted him, “How dare you open a letter that’s not addressed to you, you thief!” Martin said, “I’m so sorry, I was curious what was in the envelope. I’ll put it back. It’s all a mistake; I didn’t mean to take it.”

Jeff, you’re a liar. You knew very well what you were doing. You meant to take my bid, the only mistake you made was getting caught. How many other times in the past 20 years did you do the same thing?

By the way, the Ephrata Police know what you did and are still watching you. You brought this on yourself. Have a nice day.

Call anybody else but Martin. They ruined my trees. All the owner knows how to do is ride around in his bucket truck and cut the top half of trees off. When I asked him why, he said oh, it'll grow back. My 6 year old could do better.

Get everything in writing, clearly, or Jeff will screw you over! If there is any amendment or change in the job, make sure to put that in writing also. He is unethical and dishonest.

From start to finish my experience with Martin Tree Service was great! I spoke with the owner about grinding several stumps we had in our front yard. Based on their size he gave me an extremely fair price and much to my surprise, his team had come out later that day and took care of the stumps. My husband and I were very pleased with how the job was completed. We also had the owner come out and give us a quote on removing a large pine tree from our backyard. Within just a few days I had the quote in my mailbox and it gave me the options I had requested. His pricing was very affordable and we will be using Martin Tree Service for this job because of the service and over all wonderful experience we had with the owner and employees.

I should have known better than to trust a company that quotes prices over the phone without seeing the job first. What I got was a very poor job that I now have to hire someone else to fix. Stay away from this guy.
