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...

Bartlett Tree Service sent a certified arborist to my home to assess my situation and provide a quote. Their arborist, Greg Crews was punctual, professional and gave me a detailed tutorial on the health of a tree we were trying to save, how to best protect the tree when we paved over some of...

It did not. I canceled the job due to their lack of professionalism and unwillingness to comply with District of Columbia and regulations regarding emergency no parking signs. The company representative arrived early to give us an estimate and did so in a professional manner and timely...

I later wrote the following short thank-you note to the arborist who had given us the estimate: "Just a short note to say how impressed we are by the superb job your three young men performed on Friday. The pruning of the overgrown holly, especially, far exceeded our expectations!...

"I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the recent retaining wall replacement project completed by John Krause Construction (JKC) at my property. After reading positive reviews and receiving an estimate that, although over my budget, seemed reasonable for the work involved, I made the decision to hire JKC. Unfortunately, this has proven to be a significant mistake, and I am left extremely disappointed with both the quality of work and the overall experience. Here are the main issues I encountered: 1. Unprofessional Behavior: The crew exhibited unacceptable behavior while working on my property. Not only did I witness them disposing of bodily fluids on-site, but they were also disrespectful and dismissive. when I raised concerns no response was received. I now smell urine when entering and exiting my garage. 2. Unresponsive Ownership: I have attempted to reach out to the owner multiple times to address these concerns and resolve the issues, but my messages have been met with silence. This lack of communication is incredibly frustrating and has only added to my disappointment. The owner refused to speak on the phone since the owner was made aware of the call being recorded. 3. Property Damage: During the construction process, my property was left damaged in multiple areas. This included e.g., landscaping destruction, equipment damage. Personal crew members vehicles being driven through my yard leaving deep tire marks damage. 4. Subpar Quality of Work: Despite the high cost of the project, the final result does not meet the standards outlined in the estimate or contract. No proper grading was completed. Every time it rains pools of water sits in front and behind the wall. The response received was. “we have passed all inspections. There will be some water pooling while it is settling still. Plus the fact of the hard rain today, it will happen.” The wall has been completed for 2 months. Given the extensive problems, stress and anxiety I have faced. I do not recommend John Krause Construction."

"I am having a truly unpleasant experience with 7th State Builders. I paid 14,450.00$ deposit in good faith. They were contracted to rebuild my deck, place a roof structure and screen on the deck. I trusted that they would complete the work. Instead, they took my money and one year later had not even started on the project. Not only did they fail to perform the agreed-upon services for the deck, but I was forced to hire an attorney to try and recover my deposit. Which I haven?t yet (over one year). Thus, creating unnecessary expenses to an already frustrating situation. I would strongly advise against using this company. They are unprofessional, uncommunicative, unreliable and clearly not trustworthy. My experience currently has been a complete waste of time, money and emotional energy. Dr. CLARICE BROWN "
