First let me say that I don't write reviews very often, but I hope that this helps others who are hesitant about selecting someone to work on their property. Lonnie and Denise are fantastic to work with - good folks who believe in doing good work, simple as that. I'm thrilled to have found them and I won't look anywhere else going forward. Arborscape may not be the cheapest bid you receive, but the level of service and experience you get from Lonnie's team is worth it.
My wife and I moved into our Riverside home a few years ago, but our yard was just not appealing to us; a hodgepodge of foliage from the previous owner that didn't mesh with our taste. We needed the whole package - new irrigation and sod throughout the property, removal of several old flower beds, hedges and grass, improved landscape drainage near our patio, site grading, tree trimming, stump grinding, slope cleanup, etc. I reached out to six different companies before I found Arborscape through yelp. With the exception of Lonnie, each company that bid on our job made us feel like we needed to know EXACTLY what we wanted. Don't get me wrong, I understand that a company needs to know what the customer wants in order to price out the cost to do the work, but I'm not a landscape contractor or landscaper so I had a hard time coming up with those definitive answers. I was looking for someone to help steer us in a direction that made sense for us based on their experience and our home location. Lonnie was great in this regard, giving us recommendations, ideas, etc. during our very first meeting, at which time I knew he was the guy we wanted to transform our property.
Once our job was started, Lonnie communicated with us regularly to let us know when he'd be onsite, advised us of any unforeseen issues that he found along the way, and what I liked best - continued to offer ideas he came up with, some of which ended up being the best features of our new yard! We've received lots of compliments from friends, family and neighbors, so I pass on Lonnie's company info whenever I can.
I'm a pretty loyal guy, so when I find someone I know I can count on and trust, I stick with them. If anyone reading this is on the fence about who to call, or perhaps you have multiple bids including one from Lonnie and Denise - I'd encourage you to give Arborscape your business. I'm confident that Lonnie and his crew will do the same for you that they did for us, and they will earn your future business as well!
Thanks Arborscape! read more
