"Their representative, Greg, who is NOT a board certified arborist, came to inspect and quote our job. His quote was quite a bit cheaper than another company the quoted the same job, so I hired them. When they arrived, they attempted to back their truck up my driveway, and in the process destroyed an expensive cast-bronze driveway light. They did not notify me. I only discovered it after I walked down the driveway to retrieve a trash can at the curb. I photographed it and presented it to the crew. They only grinned and shrugged (I think only one of the four spoke any English, and he was up in a tree pruning it). I immediately called the company and sent the photos. While waiting to hear back, I kept hearing several loud, thunderous crashes on the roof of the house and shed. I suspected they were dropping cut limbs onto the structures, but by the time I got outside, they had hauled the offending debris off to the chipper/shredder. One worker was standing on the roof of my shed inspecting it for damage. When I inquired what had happened, they held up acorns and Tulip Poplar buds and said (in broken English) that is what was falling on the roof. Nope, it was large limbs. When Greg arrived to inspect the destroyed driveway light, we got out my ladder and climbed on the roof to find a large hole through two layers of shingles where they dropped a cut limb. Greg agreed to replace the driveway light and repair the roof which they did to my satisfaction within a week. But for them to not fess-up to damaging my property was highly unprofessional, not to mention sloppy and careless. I will not hire them again."

"Excellent work. The crew arrived on time and first took down a dead tree near our driveway and house. One worker climbed the tree and carefully took off branches and then dropped the tree into the woods. Then they went to work on another tree that had branches reaching out toward our house. All taken down safely and efficiently and they cleaned up when they were done. I'd definitely hire them again."

"Axcobar was great! They were thorough, responsive, and super helpful. They provided a detailed estimate and quickly got to work. We had them trim several trees on our property and remove trees that were too close to the house. We’ve worked with a few tree companies in the past and Axcobar by far was the best we’ve worked with. We definitely recommend and plan to use them again."

"Carlos came prepared to work on the initial estimate visit to my home. Within 3 hours at my home the tree was removed and the sizable stump was grinded up. He was prompt with taking away the brush and cleaning up behind himself. I would strongly recommend him."

"I am so pleased with the work performed by Gordon. We contacted him for an estimate on removing a few trees and trim some others in our yard. He contacted us and personally came over to give us an estimate. He knows his trees. He has done this work for 30 years and it's a family business which we love working with small family businesses. We had an ill apple tree - it was not maintained prior to us purchasing the home 8 years ago. We tried to prune it, figure out what ailed it. A number of arborists (other estimate providers) agreed that it was beyond hope and to remove it. We also removed a smaller apple tree (for pollination). We have mimosas which are the weed of trees. I love them for their blooms (they attract butterflies, bees and hummingbirds), but they are so intrusive. Gordon pointed out that one of the mimosas was possible causing an issue with our home due to their roots. We had him remove 2 mimosas and trim a third one (I wanted to keep one for the blooms & bees). What really impressed me was one of the other trees we wanted removed turned out to be a honey locust which Gordon told us was healthy and we should keep it. We did. His price was very fair and reasonable - included the stump removal as well. He was able to come out the following week and complete the job. He told us he would call us sometime the beginning of the week (we were flexible). Gordon called me the day before and asked if the next day was a good day to do the project. Worked for me. He called me in the morning of our appointment to confirm and gave me an estimated time of arrival. He called before the ETA and said he would be delayed and updated his arrival time. They showed up and had the entire job completed in less than 3 hours! These guys were amazing to watch and constantly going. I was impressed. They completely cleaned up the debris - looked even better than it did before they arrived. I highly recommend Gordon! I was completely satisfied with his work, the communication, his knowledge and his professionalism."

"I've lived in this house since 2002 and always hated having the 9 pine trees on the side of the property so close to the house. Most of the trees were at least 60+ feet tall. Oliver & Oscar presented a VERY reasonable price quote for the complete tree removal to include hauling away all debris, grinding the stumps and hauling away the wood chips. Trust me when I say reasonable price quote, as I've obtained no less than 20 estimates over the years. They left only the chips to fill in the hole that was left from grinding. They presented their license and insurance upon request and reviews were easily found everywhere. They completed the work in just a little over a days time. We could not be happier with the work performed. The crew was very friendly and was happy to talk and answer any questions we had. If I ever need any tree work in the future, I will absolutely, without hesitation call O & O Tree Services again. THANK YOU!"

"JK Gardening Lawn & Garden Care once again has done a fantastic job for us. They are always prompt with communication, prices are fair, and their work is excellent. Within a week of contacting Kevin, I had someone come out to assess what work I needed and had a crew show up. I asked for additional landscaping work this year, a separate quote was drawn up, approved and scheduled with ease. Thank you for another great experience!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Combining tree service with other home upgrades in Bethesda can streamline your project and reduce disruptions. Coordinating tree trimming with landscape design, irrigation work, or deck installations often minimizes labor overlap and cleanup. Scheduling multiple services during the winter dormant season can help protect your yard and may lead to more efficient project timelines, especially for larger properties.

Helpful?

For tree service in Bethesda, choose heavy-duty chainsaws suited for local hardwoods, precision pruning shears for healthy tree trimming, and robust wood chippers to manage dense branches. Stump grinders with durable teeth help tackle deep roots, while reliable safety gear is essential for every crew member. Opt for environmentally friendly pest treatments to protect native trees and maintain the area’s sensitive ecosystem.

Helpful?

In Bethesda, be cautious of tree service quotes that seem unusually low, lack a written agreement, or require full payment upfront. Watch for contractors who pressure you to decide quickly, suggest topping trees, or dismiss the need for permits. If a provider seems unfamiliar with local tree care regulations or can’t explain their insurance coverage, consider it a warning sign.

Helpful?

In Bethesda, small tree removals or basic tree trimming usually take a few hours, while large or hazardous removals may require one to two days. Permit processing for protected trees can extend the timeline by a week or more. During peak seasons like spring, scheduling may take longer, but emergency storm cleanup is typically prioritized and handled within a couple of days.

Helpful?

In Bethesda, hidden costs for tree service often include permit fees for tree removal, extra charges for working near power lines, and expenses for hauling away large debris. You may also encounter fees for deeper stump grinding, repairing lawn or driveway damage from heavy equipment, or additional cleanup in landscaped areas. Replacement planting requirements can also add to the overall project scope.
