We have used Elling Tree Farm for the past three to four years. And we keep going back! The nursery stock is EXCELLENT.Planting crews arrived on time, well equipped and courteous. Clean up was thorough and complete. We'll use Elling again!
Mr. Elling and his assistant were here when they said they would be. We had picked the spot in the yard and they set to work bringing in the digger and making the hole. Because our yard was very wet from the rain he suggested setting the tree a little higher so it would drain. When the tree was placed he had me look at the way it was placed. I wanted the 3 main branches to face my porch so he and his assistant patiently turned it until it was just exactly the way I wanted it. Because of the wetness of the lawn the wheels of the digger made deep cuts, but by the time they left the ruts were filled in and the tree looked at home in it's new place.
I think it's a good idea to know ahead of time where you want the tree placed and make sure that when it is placed you walk around all sides and look from all angles to make sure it fits your vision.
This was a very good experience. I felt I was in good hands and not pressured in any way.

Brad, the owner, was great to work with over the entire event. He came out to the house to review the location and discuss the placement of the trees. He then invited us out to the tree farm to review the trees and make suggestions on the type and size of the specimens. He then came out over to our house over a 1 wk period and planted the trees. He even helped coach us on how to handle the trees after he planted. We would refer his services to anyone interested in large tree purchases. Thanks!
We visited the tree farm and were pleased with the selection and quality of their trees. On a second visit to the tree farm I selected specific trees and he tagged them for us. We scheduled the planting on a day where I could stay home from work in the morning. He called ahead to let me know when he would arrive, and arrived at the time he said he would.. They got right to work and completed the job quickly.
One thing he pointed out was that he leaves a large root ball on the trees so there is less damage to the roots when transplanting them. I believe that is why they did so well this summer in the dry conditions.
Upon reaching my residence, Mr. Ellings and his worker were prompt. we settled on a location for the tree and the work had begun. Less than an hour later my tree was installed. Mr. Ellings explained in great detail how to take care of my tree and even spent time helping me map out my next purchases. I would definitely recommend Ellings Tree Farm for anyone looking for quality trees, quality work and an honest business man.
The actual planting operation went very well. Clean up was great and we're very happy with our new tree.
