Riggs Tree Farm

Riggs is terrific. He does everything himself and really knows trees. His prices are comparable to the drive by tree guys but his product is far superior. He won't plant a substandard tree and stands behind his work.

We had Riggs plant 2 trees in Fall 2014 and another 3 trees in Spring 2015. He does a great job of recommending trees to fit the need (i.e., privacy, shade, etc). He also knows the industry, so even though we've been wanting a Maple, if the stock/material is not good, he'd rather us wait so we are happy with the result. He also stops by and checks on the trees -- to make certain we water and mulch properly. This guy cares and wants to ensure the trees are healthy. We'll continue to use him for more trees.

Riggs is a very conscientious and caring individual. He will always go the extra mile to make a customer happy. Rigg's prices are fair and the quality of his products are terrific. He takes time to ensure that each plant is planted properly to not only look best but also have the best chance of long term survival.

Riggs drove all over Indiana to nurseries looking for the right trees. He has an excellent eye and knows nurseries that others dont. His relationships with nurseries allow him to view stock that is not available to others and he picked out mature well limbed trees with trunks from 3-3.5 inches that looked beautiful. He has a fixed price by tree to plant and mulch the trees and he is responsible for fertilizing and caring for them (not watering which he gave us a routine for) for 2 yrs. He was timely and efficient in planting and he even spent time to remove a thorn bush and some poison ivy (other planters would never have touched the poison ivy) to place the trees in the best spots in our yard. He didn't complain at all about cutting out the thorn bush and battling the poison ivy. He had his nephew help him with planting and they were extremely nice and good workers. They didn't bother us in our home except to use the restroom once. They were very self sufficient and took alot of pride in there work. Riggs talked me through how the trees would grow and how he placed the root b**** of the trees to optimize there "breathing" and ability to grow quickly.
