"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!"

"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."

"Only service done well was flower bed edging...I had to show the worker how to plant a shrub and I had to provide the supplemental soil, luckily, before he got the shrub in the ground. Unfortunately, crew does not clean up well and leaves unused soil. As far at the tree removal, that went ok until I noticed they were going to leave the stump, after I explicitly asked that it be removed, too. Job was then completed, but crew did not remove wood chips and pieces of stump, which I had to do before lawn could be cut. Language was a big problem and one could only be understood by the boss - very irritating. Very professional at the outset, but the quality of the work precludes any followup."

"Super happy with their work - my front and back yard were really overgrown with bushes, weeds, ivy, etc. A 5 person team worked for 3 days digging out and removing all the growth. They also seeded the lawn and mulched some of my newly discovered flower beds! Super hard working and professional!"

"The company is disorganized. For the first couple of weeks after booking their services, they kept showing up to the wrong property for lawn services. I had to constantly monitor the workers because they would move things in the yard, blocking my gate from opening. They would sometimes show up within days of each service. They damaged my neighbors wild flowers and made excuses when I asked them to refund or replace them! The workers are not knowledgeable about plants or lawns; they just show up and cut no latter of the lawn needs it or not. The last time they came, I had no growth on my lawn and they came to try and cut anyway. Even after texting the company, she still tried to charge me for the cut when it wasn’t needed and I had also reported it right when they got to my property. Very unprofessional company. Too much effort to monitor their work. Would not recommend."

"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!"

"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."

"Very well. Four employees from this company trimmed the top 1/3 of our huge cherry blossom tree in our front yard. It took them approximately two hours and they were clearly skilled in their craft. Professional and efficient."

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 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?

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.

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?

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.
