"I had an excellent experience with this tree service company from start to finish. Their pricing was very reasonable compared to other estimates I received, and the quality of work exceeded my expectations. The customer service was professional, friendly, and responsive throughout the entire process. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the job much faster than I expected without cutting corners. They also cleaned up everything afterward, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, affordable, and professional tree services."

Customers say: Quick response

"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 couldn't believe how fast they got a tree down! They also trimmed a tree for us. Then they took away the wood and chipped it. They even raked the yard to get the stray branches. Very efficient team. When there was a delay in starting the work, Jose was good about communicating it and rescheduling a time. I especially like that Jose came to talk with me in person to give an estimate and understand what we needed. (Some companies just leave a note for estimation of work.) I would recommend the JMC Tree team highly!"

"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."

"OMG they were excellent. I had two trees so tall they looked like they touched the sky that were looming over my home. They were able to cut and remove both trees, clean the area to perfection and not dig up my lawn with tire tracks or equipment. Pricing was fair and reasonable. I would highly recommend this company."

"Luckily I speak Spanish so I was able to communicate with the workers what needed to be done. The supervisor showed up later, but the person who initially evaluated the trees did not come back on site. Mr. Castro was very friendly when he was out and, while not an arborist, seemed to know his stuff. The catch was that the guys who came, while very good workers and very nice, were not arborists either so they were asking me what I preferred as far as cutting back the branches. This is not my specialty so I had a hard time figuring out if more needed to be done.
The price was right and the trees look nice now. I would have preferred to have an arborist who could give me advice on what exactly should be cut back and to over see the work.

"We have been using Blades of Green for years and their service is outstanding. Our lawn is often commented on because even through Winter it is lush and green. Their mole control service has cleared our yard of tunnels and holes. Every Fall we have their aeration and over seeding done and this service has kept our yard looking beautiful and healthy. All of the technicians that have come out are knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I strongly recommend this company to anyone who wants quality service for their yard!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.
