I found Joshua Swift on Angie's List and was very impressed by the reviews. I contacted him and he came to look at the trees in a few days. He spent over an hour walking through the trees, taking notes and details. He then came in and went over the extensive notes that he took - often...

It went great, these guys are super nice and went above and beyond. Hard workers, too. I will definitely call this company when I need an arborist again.
- Jane O.
They were excellent to work with. The certified arborist is fantastic. He was really knowledgable about all the variety of trees on my property. He was able to give me advice on how to trim the trees appropriately. Their service and follow up was also very good.
- Matthew L.
Arborscapes sent an arborist out to estimate what work needed to be done and he (AJ) helped explain to me what was afflicting the tree and how to treat it. AJ was great at listing out everything that could be done to help save the tree and prioritize which items on the list were the biggest...

"My experience with TLC Inc. was a very positive one! I had a well/cistern that was leaking onto my lawn. Apparently the drainage system had deteriorated over the years. Mr. Drew Hall came out to look and discuss the project. When we later met at TLC to discuss solutions, Mr. Hall clearly explained what has to be done and showed me photos of a similar project. Mr. Hall also worked efficiently with my town’s public works and the county agency to create a system that was satisfactory for all. As the work progressed, Mr. Hall diligently kept me updated. Now, my lawn is dried out, instead of being a swamp. I recommend TLC Inc. for any water-related issues! Thank you, Mr. Hall!"
