"I couldn't ask for better service! A Coreas Tree Services team member contacted me within minutes of my project submission on Angi to schedule a time to stop by. The owner was on time the next morning, quoted a very reasonable price, and scheduled his crew to come out later the same day. True professionals from beginning to the end. We definitely recommend Coreas Tree Services to anyone that needs a tree removed or cut back."

"The results are amazing. The play pad in the back he built for the kids is perfect. The weed mat they put down under the mulch has worked very well. We get a few weeds and baby tree sprouts here and there but they are easy to pick out. The pad is under a giagantic tulip poplar and the tree just spreads seeds everywhere. It is no surprise to find them sprouting in the mulch. They take over my gardens every Spring. The stone pad he put up front is perfect for the job. We have a very limited budget and income and he went through and priced out the best supplies for the job with our budget in mind. There were even stones left over from the project and he left them for us to use later or in other places. He wanted to make sure we got every supply we paid for. This Summer I asked him to do a section of our backyard that is grown up with weeds and ivy. He heard my concept and then as if he was a mind reader made it look exactly as my husband and I had envisioned. The mulched area is bordered with beautiful stones and matches the rest of our backyard decor. Additionally he added a 2 foot border of mulch around our above ground metal pole frame pool. It finished off the look of the yard. Before the pool was just hanging out looking all crooked and sloppy, but now it has a polished look. Just yesterday I contacted him again to come back for an estimate on expanding the mulched area in the back corner because it looks so awesome and my husband and I were immediately inspired to add some other spaces for a geodesic dome we are installing as well as a seating area for guests. He even moved the swingset they'd put on the mulch play pad last Summer because my kids had gotten so big their feet were hitting the fence behind them. Kyle is a professional in all senses. His prices are incredible, turn around time is fast, he and his crew are impeccable. There is not a single scrap in the yard when they leave. I left for the day last week and came home to a beautiful yard!!!"

"I contracted White Oak Tree Experts to remove some trees, grind stomps, and perform light pruning at my single family home. Right from the start, from the free estimate where Fernando Reyes walked my property line with me while listening to my concerns and goals while offering helpful suggestions, to the day he brought his crew and equipment, I knew I was in good hands. I highly recommend Fernando and White Oak Tree Experts since they are professional, hard working, very efficient, affordable, and committed to their customers needs. They exceeded my expectations!"

"The owner came to see what we wanted, gave us a very reasonable price and when he would be able to do the job. His crew was very capable, and even though they had a bucket, the tree climbers were adept and cut the tops out and dropped them with no damage to the bushes and below. We were very pleased with the work ethic of the crew and the follow-through on all promises. I would highly recommend A-AAA tree service to any one who needs trees removed"

"My wife was an accomplished Harford County Mmaster Gardener who lost her cancer battle late last year. In the past three years, as her health was failing, we hired G&G Landscaping to maintain 35 years of "showpiece" gardens. At one point, she said "they did better than I could have done myself". Hard to believe but absolutely accurate. They are consistently excellent in all phases."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.
