"I reached out to them for a quick consultation on the layout of plants in a backyard garden. I sent them a message on a Sunday and they were incredibly responsive and willing to work around my schedule. I met with Kyle the following day. He was very professional, extremely knowledgable, and eager to help me choose plants that fit my needs. I highly recommend!"

"This was a high-risk tree removal due to how close the tree was to our home, and this team handled it with impressive professionalism. The initial consultation was thorough, and the estimator clearly understood the technical challenges involved. No overselling, just straightforward guidance. Scheduling was efficient, and communication from the office was consistent. The removal crew arrived on time and worked methodically. Their execution was precise. There was no damage, no issues, and no unnecessary disruption. The stump grinding was also done properly, not rushed. What stands out is the balance of quality and cost. The pricing was more than fair given the complexity of the job. It’s clear this company knows what they’re doing at every level from front office to field execution. Strong recommendation for anyone in Ellicott City needing reliable tree work."

"The two workers did all of the work in the proposal and then went above and beyond the scope of the work. They cleaned up under a large holly tree; edged the grass in the front yard. They were very pleasant and answered any questions that I had. The supervisor was also very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. The only "negative" comment that I may have is I created a diagram of the yard for the workers to follow and that was not sent to the job."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.
