Recent Tree Service Reviews in Laurel
- Green Vista Tree CareGreen Vista Tree Care is an outstanding company. I have been using them once a year for a few years now. They are the only tree service company that I even consider. The whole process is fast and efficient. Wylie and his team always does a great job trimming, thinning, and pruning my trees. I highly recommend them to family and friends
- Green Vista Tree CareNico arrived on time to give me an estimate and was very informative and explicit about what needed to be done and the equipment needed to do it. I ended up understanding a lot more about the process of having the trees removed and the stump of the oak removed. He explained that for safety a crane would be used, parked on the driveway and reaching over the house to the tree. The stump removal would require their contacting Miss Utility which would take 1 to 2 weeks The work was scheduled for the next Monday and everything happened as explained. 11 days later the stump was removed and ground
- Green Vista Tree CareYesterday was our second experience with Green Vista. We were impressed two years ago, and called only them this year for the trimming work. Their skill is amazing, and they left the area spotless. I asked that the crew avoid trampling nearby plants, and not one was damaged. They have the equipment and skill to work in tight spaces, unlike others companies we've called. I absolutely recommend Green Vista
- Green Vista Tree CareGreen Vista was great. Nico came out for an estimate and was very knowledgeable. He thoroughly explained to me what Green Vista would do. I ended up with three estimates. Green Vista was $200 more than my low estimate and $600 less than my high estimate. I had no doubt which company to hire. They called me one day in advance of the work being done. They showed up on time and conducted the cutting and removal efficiently. I was very pleased with he work they did
- Independence LandscapeBen Rupert was instrumental in providing a landscape plan in several areas in my yard that sorely needed attention. In the back yard, a tree that had been there for over 30 years had to be removed, and it left a desolate area. The large electrical box in front of this area was even more apparent without the tree. When entering the yard from the gate, there was nothing that was welcoming. Ben came up with a plan, and his team implemented it beautifully. There were other areas in the yard that also needed attention, and with Ben’s help, each were improved more than I could have ever imagined. His team removed my existing paver walkway from the extension of the driveway, hauled away the debris, extended and buried the below grade downspout into the back of the property and installed concrete sand to level and finished the back walkway with Techo-Bloc Eva Pavers. He installed River Jack Stone so that the water from the downspout would help alleviate drainage issues. He created a landscape bed and installed a Forest Pansy Redbud tree and decorative grass around the electrical box. Ben also improved other landscape beds and installed Techo-Bloc Edge Stone around them. The beds were cleaned, and mulch was installed. And finally, in the front of the house Ben’s team removed the old Azalea bushes, installed new soil, and installed Camellia bushes and mulch to finish it. I could not be more pleased with the crew’s professionalism and craftsmanship. I highly recommend Ben Rupert and the Independence Landscape & Lawn Care Team
- JL Tree Service IncWe reach out to JL Tree Service every few years to assess our trees and prune as needed. During our last service in July, they removed a dead tree and pruned multiple others. They provided us a quote and stayed true to that quote. Their team was professional and left our yard in pristine shape. I'm not typically one for reviews, but after seeing the results of neighbors who hired another company for their tree service, I came to truly appreciate what JL has done for us
- Ballard Enterprises - Lawn, Landscaping, Tree ServicesOnce again Ballard did a great job. The tree was next to a split rail fence and a shed. The guys brought it down carefully a piece at a time. They worked extremely efficiently and cleaned up great when done. Will absolutely use again. Thanks Ballard.
- Hometown Tree ExpertsIt took less time than i thought. They arrived on time and were finished in under 3 hours. I would have liked to walk through the work with someone before they left, but they left without knocking on the door.
- Hometown Tree ExpertsThe crew was punctual and worked like a trained team. Each crew member knew what to do and they focused on the job. They listened to our feeback and cut back more without complaint. They cleaned up and left the property in great condition.
- A Duarte’s Tree Service and Landscaping LLC.An excellent team of tree service professionals did the work in a timely, at the best price, and with care for the property. They did remove many big trees on my property and grind the stumps .....will definitely use them for all my future needs. Marvin is a great guy!!!

"The tree was massive and its removal necessitated use of a crane situated in a neighbor's driveway and a team of 4-5 men working all day. Their work was efficient, professional and completely satisfactory. The large branches were lowered by crane, and ground up and the extremely large logs/stump were hauled away on a truck. I must commend as well Bill, their supervisor, who was in regular communication with me over the entire two week period of contracting and preparation, including personally meeting with my skeptical neighbors to explain the necessity of using their property and reassuring them that extra care would be taken to avoid damage. I've used JL Tree in the past and they fully lived up to my expectations. I confidently recommend them to anyone needing tree removal services.

"Elester and his crew are very talented and professional as Arborists. We have hired Elester a few times over the years.

"Julio Escobar, President of ET General Contractor, responded with 24 hours to my initial query and arranged to visit my house within another day to discuss my plans. He listened carefully, and made excellent suggestions, including frank opinions of what was and was not possible and at what cost. He then gave me an estimate within a few days with pictures of the kind of stone retaining wall that he recommended. Once work started, it was completed within four days completely to my satisfaction. Julio himself was in regular contact with me and visited the site where his team was working at least twice each day, supervising all aspects of my work while at the same time attending to projects elsewhere. Changes and challenges that came up in the course of the project were incorporated easily. The final wall - a structure in two parts across the entire front of the house, and made of sculptured stone blocks embedded in a firm foundation - was very professionally done and looks beautiful. The three vegetable patches - enclosed by 4x4 wood beams and filled with topsoil (as was the area behind the retaining wall) - are also solidly and professionally built. I'm entirely satisfied and will definitely work with Julio again in future.

"They worked all day and Gordon was here the entire time. I am a mortgage person(34 years) and am often asked for recommendations of people to do various services. I only recommend people I know do excellent work, are honest and show up on time. Gordon and his crew meet all that criteria. This is a rarity in my experience. He also did a few extras because he is that type of person. If I could give him 10 stars I would.
Our story began 65 years ago with our Grandfather Henry and Uncle Kenny. They provided various home services for those in need, but did not have the budget to complete. They found ways to help people repair their homes and pay them as they could. The joy they received by being able to help others in need was worth more, than the cost of the job itself. Fast forward to present day, we still keep those core values and do our best to help those in need of our Tree Expert Services. We do this by ..

"It went great. The workers went out of their way to do the job. It was a very large job. My trees were 43 years old and they were very tall. It was the hottest day of the year and the cleaned up all of the debris and in the end everything was spotless. Plus the fact the price was so reasonable."
Yes, we admit it. We’re tree huggers. Given the amount of attention normally paid to our leafy friends, it’s a wonder some don’t have an inferiority complex.

"I have been using Richard's Tree Service since I have moved here 14 years ago. I am a Tree Huger and take cutting down trees seriously. I save trees as much as I can. Hence the White Pine. Richard knows that about me and over the years has sent a guy that specializes in treating the ground and the tree with nutrients and oils...to keep it healthy. The tree bounces back and is saved yet another year.
<br /> This year I got an estimate in the mail. I called about it and he said it's time. I called 3 other companies just incase and they all agreed it must come down. It is a risk at this point. I called Richards back and scheduled an appt. They said the following week and will call to confirm exact date. They called me in the morning on Friday and said they had an open window. I told them Im ready. (P.S. I did contact my HOA to inform them of the dead tree... and stay within my bylaws. It's within 20' of house so I was fine).
<br /> Richard's removed all the bird houses... from around the tree and started. They did a quick and amazing job. It was raked up, ground up, cleaned up in just short of 2 hours. It was a huge tree. I had no needles left on the branches and even most of the branches snapped off. The trunk was becoming rotten under the bark and I didn't even know that. They were able to scrap a big dent in the trunk with their bare hands.
<br /> I was so glad Richard's keeps an eye on my property. He has done that over the years. I was saving another tree in the back yard and he said it was time. I agreed. When the tree came down it was rotten in the inside with ants...bugs and a hole in the core. It was a risk and could have easily came down on the houses and cars. He really watches out for unsafe trees. I'd never use anyone else.

"This was a wonderful experience for us! Bob was super-responsive, and really helpful and courteous during the walk-through. Bob's crew of several men completed the work in a morning. They expertly removed the fallen tree, taking care not to damage the lawn. They also trimmed nearby trees that had been damaged by the falling oak. They climbed the double-trunked oak and topped it, and left the trunks standing for habitat, as I had asked. They also cut the branches into firewood lengths. They did a beautiful job of pruning and thinning, and cleaned it all up. I added a couple of other smaller trees to the job as they were working, and they took care of those, too. I would recommend this company most highly!

Tree Service FAQ
-
How much does it cost to remove a tree?
Answer: Typically, tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000. Tree removal costs vary widely based on the number of trees being removed, the height of each tree, the diameter of each tree trunk, and accessibility to the tree. Smaller trees are usually less expensive to remove than larger ones, as are those that are more easily accessible.
-
Do you need a permit to cut down a tree?
Answer: In many areas, you don’t need a permit to cut down a tree on your own private, residential property. But some municipalities may require tree removal permits for conservation purposes or to comply with local ordinances. When you hire a tree removal pro, they’ll be able to tell you whether you need a permit for your specific tree removal project.
-
When is a good time to trim trees?
Answer: In most regions, the best time to trim your trees is during the winter months. During the active growing season (spring through fall), trimming your trees can leave them more vulnerable to disease and less likely to thrive. During the winter months, when trees are dormant, trimming them will cause less stress and leave them ready to grow again in the spring.
-
What is the average cost to cut a tree down?
Answer: Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 per tree. Establishing an average cost can be difficult because each tree will be assessed and priced based on factors like height, trunk diameter, and accessibility. In general, smaller trees cost less to remove than larger trees, as do trees that are more accessible.
-
How much does it cost to service a tree?
Answer: The cost to service a tree is typically between $430 and $1,320. The cost to service a tree depends on several factors, including what exactly you’d like done, the tree’s height, its health, the location of the tree, and local labor costs. The national average cost for tree services is $865. Tree trimming isn’t necessary for all trees but can improve their health and longevity by encouraging new growth.
-
What is the difference between tree trimming and pruning?
Answer: While tree trimming and tree pruning might appear similar to the untrained eye, they serve different purposes. Tree pruning is used to thin a tree by removing unnecessary or burdensome branches. Tree trimming promotes healthy growth by trimming but not removing branches.
