"Beautifully. We choose them in 2014 because they were available after a major storm. In 2014, they repaired major damage to several trees and gave us excellent advice about trees on our property. These people are arborists, not merely tree cutters. In 2016, they moved a 10-ft section of decorative block wall away from a large tree. The results were stunning: you would think that the wall had originally been laid in its current location.. In neither case did we get other bids, but I suspect this firm is a bit pricier than many others. Still, I would ask them for a proposal, for you will get a free education that is worth your time."

"I had Axcobar Tree Service trim and remove a number of trees and I highly recommend them. I will use them again and not waste time looking at any other companies. They provided an estimate and on our scheduled date arrived first thing in the morning and worked all day. They did an outstanding job and cleaned up everything as they worked. We are very happy with Axcobar Tree Experts and would recommend them for all your tree service needs."

"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."

"Awesome end-to-end experience! After two other tree service arborists inspected trees with me but then failed to actually send estimates, I searched Angie's List and read many of Gordon's reviews. I left him a voicemail on a Friday. He called me Saturday and was willing to visit that weekend. Since I was busy over the weekend, he agreed to call Monday or Tuesday. He called Tuesday at approx. 11am, indicating he was in the area working a job and could be by in 30 minutes. I agreed to meet him. We inspected my four large shade trees (2 sycamore and 2 maples) and I explained we needed better visibility from front porch, unblock view of a corner stop sign, and ensure no growth into siding. He explained his additional recommendation for overall thinning and shaping. He provided an on the spot verbal estimate of $800 and when I asked if he accepted a credit card, he indicated yes, but would charge only $750 if I wrote a check. I had researched average job costs and Gordon's quote was very reasonable. I then asked what his lead time was and he indicated his crew was finishing a job nearby and they could be by in an hour after they ate lunch. He and his crew arrived promptly an hour later, a crew of six total, including Gordon. Gordon rang the doorbell and asked me to review first tree trimming with him before he moved on to remaining three to ensure it met my expectations per our earlier discussion. After finishing, Gordon asked me to walk our property and review pruning for all four trees. His crew was well organized, worked together like clockwork, and Gordon was right there with them working and directing to ensure all trees were pruned to expectations and clean-up was thorough. Our yard looks "larger" now and is very open with the thinning Gordon recommended, as they removed overlapping and dead branches to include providing more ground clearance. They look great and Gordon indicated they shouldn't require pruning again for at least five years. I'll now hire Gordon for annual tree / shrub maintenance (fertilize, insects, disease prevention) and fire the other provider that had provided that service but failed to provide a pruning estimate. I strongly recommend Gordon and his team for any tree related care! Well done!"

Customers say: Quality work

"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!"

"This company provides excellent work.  The grass always appeared that they were keeping the blades sharpened on their lawnmower.  The grass was always cut based on the temperature outside. We were never concerned if they would show up each week. The only reason we are not currently using them is because their prices were higher than we wanted to pay each week.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For tree service in Gaithersburg, prioritize using hardwood mulch from local sources and sturdy, weather-resistant stakes for new plantings. Native trees like red maple, white oak, and American holly adapt well to local conditions. Invest in sharp, professional-grade pruning tools for clean cuts, and consider installing root barriers near driveways. Amending soil with compost helps address Gaithersburg’s common clay soil and improves drainage around tree roots.

Helpful?

Tree service in Gaithersburg enhances your home’s comfort by improving shade, reducing summer heat, and supporting energy efficiency. Well-maintained trees boost curb appeal and create a safer environment by minimizing risks from falling branches. Regular tree trimming also helps manage stormwater runoff, reduces noise from nearby roads, and provides privacy. These benefits make outdoor spaces more enjoyable and contribute to a healthier, more attractive property.

Helpful?

Tree service in Gaithersburg can impact foundations, drainage, and underground utilities. Signs like slow drains, cracks in walkways, or changes in yard grading may signal root interference. Removing large trees can alter water flow and soil stability. Before starting, have your property checked for utility lines and consider a professional assessment if trees are close to your home, septic system, or irrigation lines to avoid potential issues.

Helpful?

In Gaithersburg, unexpected costs during tree service often stem from permit requirements for removing protected trees, or the need for specialized equipment on properties with limited access. You might also encounter extra charges for stump grinding, debris hauling, or addressing roots near underground utilities. If your property has mature landscaping or septic systems, additional precautions may be necessary to prevent damage during tree removal or trimming.

Helpful?

Combining tree service with projects like landscaping, fence installation, or roof repairs in Gaithersburg can streamline your home improvement process. Coordinating tree removal or stump grinding with these upgrades can minimize equipment traffic on your lawn and reduce repeat disruptions. Many homeowners in Gaithersburg schedule tree trimming in late fall, which can align well with other seasonal projects and help keep your property looking its best year-round.
