In mid January 2009 our founder Andrew, at the age of 20, found himself working nights as a janitor when opportunity struck! A large ice storm hit southern Indiana and Illinois. Since he had a short background in tree work with his grandfathers small company in rural Southern Indiana, he decided to take a couple of weeks off work – and Epperson Tree Service was born! He never returned to his night job, but instead focused all his time, energy and other resources on growing his then tiny company.
