I think that everybody who works for them is an arborist, so they know what they are doing. I think they have got one of those Best of Louisville awards.

I was satisfied with their services, they did what they said they were going to do, they were punctual, and the tree survived, they saved the tree. They are arborists, as opposed to people who chop down trees.

On time. The walkthrough with the arborist a few weeks before was very educational. I learned more about my property than I had known before. The people who came over to do the work were very professional.

They gave me a decent price and the person that came out was very nice to talk to. He was a knowledgable arborist. I've decided I'm waiting until spring to have the work done.
