"Travis showed up when he said he would, did the work cleanly, and left the yard looking better than before he started."
ISA Licensed Arborist #FCLU3159. Owner, estimator, and crew lead at TLC Tree LLC. Based in Casco, Maine.
An ISA Licensed Arborist passed a nationally administered exam covering tree biology, structural risk assessment, pruning biology, cabling and bracing standards, and soil science. The certification is maintained through continuing education and periodic recertification. It is not honorary.
The practical difference: Travis knows whether a tree needs to come down or whether it can be saved with the right pruning. He knows the difference between a beech that needs maintenance and one that has beech leaf disease. He knows how to assess a co-dominant stem for failure risk before it fails into your roof.
When you hire TLC Tree, you're hiring the knowledge, not just the chainsaw.
Every job — from a single stump to a full acre of clearing — is run by Travis from first call to final cleanup. He gives the estimate, climbs the trees, runs the crew, and follows up after the job is done. There's no foreman you've never met, no subcontractors, no handoffs.
"Travis showed up when he said he would, did the work cleanly, and left the yard looking better than before he started."
"He actually explained what he was doing and why. Travis thinks about the tree first. That's the difference with a real arborist."
"Travis had us cleared out by noon the next day. Fair price, fast work, no drama."
