According to Ed Rigby, owner of Rigby's Expert Tree Care...
 

"Every tree is different. Today, and in my 30 years of tree care, the first aspect I consider is the tree. I work with the tree -- rather than the easiest completion method -- to make the tree produce for the owner's best interest and safety."

To Whom It May Concern:

I am delighted to write on behalf of Rigby's Expert Tree Care and the owner, Ed Rigby. During many collaborations over the years, Ed Rigby has demonstrated the highest moral character. He performs as he promises -- on time and within budget -- and, on one occasion when he felt unqualified to offer advice on a project, he refreshingly recommended someone else. 

In addition to being professionally competent and honest, Ed Rigby is a delight to work with. I trust him with all my tree and landscaping projects and have always been pleased with the outcome. I would recommend him with enthusiasm and without reservation.

If you would like to further discuss his and his company's qualifications, please feel free to call me at 770-594-6147.

Sincerely,
Daniel Henneberger

Dear Mr. Rigby:

... Dan Dossin and I measured the large white oak located on the Archibald Smith Plantation Home property in Roswell. You recommended that the tree be nominated to the Georgia and National Tree Champions list. Find included the point sheet for the Social Register of Big Trees. The Archibald Smith white oak commands 324.65 points while the current Georgia state champion has 382.50 points.

The Archibald Smith white oak has been very well cared for. Recently you did an excellent job of pruning the tree which was cabled some years ago to provide support for long over-hanging limbs. Your method of making the pruning cuts is commendable as is your use of ascending the tree without using damaging metal spikes. The tree should continue to remain healthy with your care...

Thank you for your interest in the white oak. I hope that one day it will be our new state champion.

Sincerely,
Barbara McClendon

Dear Mr. Rigby:

I do not often write recommendations for companies that have done work for me, and I even more seldom take the time to thank those companies for a job well done. However, in speaking with my wife and reviewing the work you have done for us we both felt it was more than appropriate to do both.

We would like to thank you and your crew for the fine work you did in removing the 15 plus trees on our property. We have been wanting to do this work since we bought the house three years ago, and we are very pleased with the new look the work has given to our house and yard. We were very impressed at how carefully the work was done by your crew and at how fast they were able to complete the job.

Even the trees that almost every tree company said would be near impossible to remove without damage to the deck of our house your crew removed quickly and expertly with no damage to the deck. The work that some companies indicated would take two to three days, your crew completed in less than one and a half days. Your crew also did an excellent job at cleaning up all the debris and left the yard in excellent condition.

I hope that you will be able to use this letter as a strong recommendation from our family to any other family who may be considering having tree work done...

Sincerely,
Charles A. de Andrade
