Thanks again, The staff and crew at: Takoma Tree Experts LLC MD Licensed Tree Experts DC DLCP Licensed ISA Certified Arborists EHAP Certified MD: 301-681-5800 DC: 202-387-8733 www.takomatree.com"
"Thank you for taking the time to write a great review, much appreciated. It was a pleasure doing business with you!"
"Thank you for taking the time to write a great review and for your continued business over the last many, many years! We look forward to working with you in the future and continuing to earn your trust and business."
"I, the owner, during the estimate, explained the process, answered all questions, then e-mailed a detailed, clear, itemized, bid. We were punctual in providing the quote as the customer indicated he was still waiting on 2 more bids-so obviously not late. With the bid we e-mailed a blurb about scheduling and possible weather related delays as well as a full page fact sheet, that explained scheduling info, terms and conditions, crew info, payment options, FAQ’s etc. We responded to each e-mail, he had our numbers, including the office managers cell. He never communicated his planting schedule to us-communication works both ways. The fact sheet makes it clear that: “We will perform all work per prevailing industry standards...all foremen and crew leaders are highly experienced and skilled, as are the climbers and general crew. We follow all ANSI A300 and Z133.1 pruning and safety standards”, yet the customer assumed, never asked if I would be on the job site and then seems upset that an estimator who showed up with the crew, left “leaving 6-7 laborers to choose what is being cut.” Yet, we made clear that our crews are “highly experienced and skilled!” There were 3 climbers on the job, each with ~ 20 years’ experience and 3-4 grounds men with 8-15 years. And indeed there was no issue with the work itself. Inexplicably, he was also upset when the crew asked for payment-apparently feeling under appreciated-we can assure this customer that his business as well as that of all our customers is always valued and appreciated. He could have told the crew that he would prefer to pay online, or call with a credit card, send a check or he could have requested to be billed-all viable, common and disclosed options, especially during the pandemic. And although, we are truly sorry for this customers’ frustration, in reviewing the process from start to finish, we find that we performed exactly as we said we would, as we always do, providing professional, high quality services for a fair price in the time frame specified."
"Thank you for your business as well as taking the time to write a review-very much appreciated."
"Thank you so much for your business as well as taking the time to write such a glowing review-very much appreciated."
"Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a glowing review! We've thoroughly enjoyed working for your cooperative for the past 15 years and look forward to many more going forward. Thanks for your business and support!"
"Thank you for your review and for contacting us for the emergency removal of the large tree that fell on your garage. We're always available 24/7 for emergency response. Thanks again, we appreciate your business."
"Thank you for this great review and for choosing us to provide emergency tree services-we know that many tree companies showed up. We realize how difficult and stressful it is when a huge tree is blown over by a storm and causes major and extensive damage to your home. We're glad that you trusted us and our exceptionally skilled crews to do our part to start the ball rolling in what I know is a long, arduous process in having your house repaired. Our dedication to getting that monster tree off your house was fueled by the knowledge that you and your family absolutely needed to have crews start tarping and repairing your home, without delay to prevent further damage. We worked form 7:00 am in the morning to 10:00 pm at night with a crane company that supplied a 400 crane that was able to reach from the street way to the back of the house and pick up tons at a time. We're glad it all worked out and again that you trusted us with this highly complex, technically difficult and time consuming, emergency job."

"Thanks for taking the time to review our company and also for the repeat business-we appreciate your patronage over the years. Thanks again."
"Thank you for taking the time to write a nice review-we appreciate the feedback. I'm a little confused by the C rating for price, not complaining, just a little confused as in an e-mail from 8/12/15 shortly after we provided the proposal, the customer indicated that "The price seems very reasonable" thats a direct, verbatim qoute. But anyhow, we really appreciate the business, the review and look forward to serving this customers tree needs in the future."
"Thank you for taking the time to write such a great review-much appreciated."
"Thanks for the great review. Some clarification regarding the county tree: We have an ongoing contract with Montgomery County and were removing a tree on a school's property adjoining this reviewers back yard. He kindly let us use his yard to remove wood, brush and debris and of course we made sure to thouroughly clean it up after the job. A lot of customers wisely have questions about a companys credentials, license, certifications, liability insurance, Workmens Comp, overall reputuation and abilities. Be assured that we are MD licensed, ISA ceritifes and properly and fuly insured-as long time contractors for Montgomery County we have been thoroughly vetted and checked out. So you can be confident that when you hire us you are getting the services of one of the most reputable tree services in the Maryland/DC/VA area with not only a BBB A+ rating but fully insured, licensed and certified."
"Thank you for the great review-we appreciate you taking your time to provide feedback. As this customer noted we are professional "real" arborists with Maryland licensed and ISA certified arborists on staff. And the amazing thing is we're usually not all that much more expensive and sometimes cheaper than some of the unlicensed and uninsured wannabes! And there are a lot of these folks out there-buyer beware. Protect yourself and hire only legitimate companies-if a company is uninsured and property damage occurs or worse a worker is injured, you, the customer may be on the hook and liable. At the very least it will be a huge legal mess. Stick with insured, licensed, repuatable companies, no matter what kind of work you're having done-whether it be roofing, electrical, remodeling, etc.-the little you may save going with an unlicensed, uninsured compoany or individual simply is not worth the risk in sub par work or potential huge liability. Always ask that the insurance agent e-mail or send you a copy of the insurance certificate directly-don't accept a certifiacte that a contractor simply produces and shows you-get it from the agent and make sure it has workmens comp, liability and commercial auto (covers any danage done by the trucks.) Call the agent if in any doubt."

During a freak wind storm in July, a tree in my yard spit and fell on my neighbors property. I got in touch with a couple of tree services, but only Takoma Tree could respond quickly to remove the tree. They were very prompt and professional. The fallen tree was removed quickly and the crew cleaned up the yard very well.
On the advice of Takoma Tree, I also had them remove ivy from the trunk of my oak tree and prune the tree to open it up. It looks much more beautiful and healthy now.
I was very pleased with the work they did and will use them in the future.
