Your Trusted Arboriculture Partner in Omaha
Eden Tree Pros was founded in 1997 out of a wish to provide quality tree care – not the kind that just takes the trees down when there’s a first sign of trouble – but the tree care that preserves the landscape and value of the home. John is a meticulous arborist that prioritized the health of trees and plants over the need for quick solutions like removal. For 27 years, John built a quality team of arborists and certified technicians who were passionate about excellent customer service, consistent training, and beautiful landscapes in the Omaha area.
At the start of 2025, the next generation of entrepreneurs now own and operate the family business, Luke Hovendick and Bennett Folkers. Luke and Bennett are ready to take Eden Tree Pros into the future and continuing the legacy of quality, lasting tree and plant healthcare.
Luke Hovendick, Owner
Luke grew up in the business as John’s son and caught the entrepreneurial bug early in life, having worked in the business since high school. He and Bennett bought the business in January 2025. Luke is engaged to Paisley, and they are going to be married in May 2025. When Luke isn’t running Eden Tree Pros, he likes working out, spending time with Paisley, and enjoying time on the lake with his family.
Bennett Folkers, Owner
Bennett has a passion for sales and has worked in the business for the past 3 years. He graduated from University of Nebraska Lincoln with a degree in business administration, where he played football. He bought the business with his brother-in-law Luke in January 2025 and is a Certified Arborist. When he is not at Eden Tree Pros, he’s enjoying the gym, lake life with his wife Hannah, and his two dogs.
