She asked lots of excellent questions throughout and showed me loads of photos to narrow the field of options to fit my esthetic tastes, desired maintenance schedule and budget. The results were a garden that will provide color -- either through long lasting blooms or ornamental leaves -- throughout the year. A thing of beauty. She went out of her way to accommodate my desire to have the work completed before the arrival of my out of town guests by working late into the evenings. I learned a lot through our conversations. Ellen was very attentive and a joy to work with. I highly recommend her.

This makes your cost high the first year but you would be just paying for installation and removal the following years. What I appreciated was that she came over, took pictures, and then sent me a proposal with itemized pricing to allow me to pick and choose based on my budget. She gave me an installation date and showed up with her crew and was hands on with them the whole time until the work was completed. It took my breath away to see the house completely lit up after she was done. She is a perfectionist and I am very pleased with her work. Nick did most of the roof lights installation and he was phenomenal. Very happy to have found Ellen and I plan to continue using her services for years to come. I am so proud to be her first yelp review.

This is the first year that my husband and I have purchased a real Christmas tree, and I was a…read morelittle nervous about where best to get one that would live through the holidays. I always had real Christmas trees growing up, but I had never bought one as an adult. Nevertheless, Almost Heavenly Trees & Greenery made the process way easier than I could have expected, and for the first time, like ever in my life, we left the tree lot with the first tree we looked at. This is a fantastic 'mom and pop' tree farm operation and the young man, forgive me that I have forgotten his name, was super fantastic! He spent 20 minutes with us making sure we had the exact tree we wanted, and even helped up strap it to the roof of our car for the trip home. I feel really bad that I've forgotten his name because he was so personable. Not once did I feel like he was rushing us even though the lot was busy. And the trees are spectacular. It didn't look like much when we arrived because it is just trees in a lot, but they are quite fresh. The trees (douglas firs) from the family farm in WV were cut about a week before being sold. We ended up with a frasier fir (personal favorite) which came from a farm in NC but we were told they were about as fresh but they just couldn't confirm the day they had actually been cut. The prices were very reasonable, especially for being a local business and not a 'big box' store. We were just so impressed and are so very happy with our lovely tree that we are definitely life-long customers as long as we are within reasonable driving distance! Thank you Almost Heavenly Tree & Greenery!

I cannot say enough great things about almost heavenly Christmas trees, we have been getting our…read moretrees from them for five years now and they are the most beautiful, full, and long last trees we have gotten. They last all of December, always get it the day after thanksgiving and keep it up until New Year's Day. This year our tree fell over after being up for two weeks. It didn't feel secure and I called to get some advice and spoke with Matt who explained it was likely our tree stand (which it was) and offered to have someone come to our home to install our tree in a new tree stand the following day. As promised, Sam came with the new tree stand and put our tree in it the following day. They went above and beyond and followed through on everything they said they would. We will continue to get our trees from almost heavenly for as long as we live in this area and I have already told many people about this company so you should be expecting some new customers! Thank you!
