"Axcobar should be your first choice for tree cutting and removal. Their service was outstanding in every way. Melvin responded in person to my emergency call after the recent tornado (microburst) in Olney took out six of the large, old trees in my yard. One of the trees was hanging over the deck and threatened to create more damage to my house if not skillfully removed. Axcobar showed up with a fabulous crew and a couple of trucks with shredders attached. These folks worked tirelessly over two days to cut, shred, and remove the trees that fell and the ones that were damaged and still standing. In addition, they removed all of the broken branches, twigs, and assorted debris in the area. We can not say enough good things about this service. Oh btw, their pricing was extremely competitive and fair. We will use them again and highly recommend them to others."
"We've had a lot of tree work done over the years. Gordon and his crew were by far the best service we've ever used. They took down a mammoth tree, pruned others, and cleaned everything up--at a reasonable cost. We recommend him with no reservations!"
"Prestige Tree was a pleasure work with showed up on time and performed tree removal in a timely fashion. Clean up was excellent. I would use them again and refer them to others. Jim B."
"We contacted Calvert Tree Experts about having 9 trees taken down on our property. Crystal contacted us and came out for our estimate the same day. She gave us a price which we felt was fair and she was able to schedule us quickly as well. She promptly answered any questions we had and kept in close contact with us throughout the process. We ended up getting more trees taken down than we originally planned and they were incredibly flexible and accommodating to our changing requests. When the crew arrived they worked quickly and efficiently while also taking great care. They were extremely professional and the precision with which they took down the trees was impressive. It was obvious they had a lot of experience. They left our yard looking better than we expected and we appreciated the time they took to do so. We highly recommend Calvert Tree Experts, Crystal and her team were a pleasure to work with!"
"Hometown Tree Experts provided a first class service from start to finish. They removed several large trees on our properties for a great price and did an excellent job. All tree limbs, trunks, branches (etc) were dropped with precision (very talented crew). We would hire them again and we plan to provide referrals to our neighbors."
"We got three estimates and Richard's was the least expensive by about $1,600. Disparity gave pause. But Richard's was the only service we contacted that had reviews on Angie's List and they were positive. They assessed the situation, gave an estimate, Dan provided their insurance certificate along with his phone number, scheduled the service, and showed up early on the date. Then they took down the tree, chipped the debris, and ground the stump. Though the ground was soft, there was no damage to the lawn - they used mats. Left some sawdust that quickly dissipated. Three polite, professional people on the crew. Used their not-really-loud chipper sparingly - didn't keep it going all day. Appreciated that. Work was very carefully done. They cracked the cap on the neighbor's fence and replaced it immediately with no hassle. Pleased with the service - would use again. "
"I used Milton's to remove a tree from my backyard and grind the stump. The crew arrived on time, was careful doing their work, and cleaned up afterward. I thought the price was very far and the service was excellent. I highly recommend Milton's."
"Greentree was the absolute best. They sent one of their representatives out the very day I called, they observed the situation and on the very same day removed the tree at a very reasonable cost. I would definitely hire them again."
"I contacted Ballard to have some trees removed. They responded quickly and showed up on time for the estimate. Their price was more than fair for the amount of work -- they removed two large poplar trees and two large holly trees, and ground out the stumps. The work was scheduled quickly. The workers showed up promptly and the work was done quickly and professionally. They cleaned up everything and I'm very happy with the final result. Everyone I dealt with was pleasant, helpful, and professional. I would definitely use them again, and recommend them strongly."
"We had a fantastic experience with Carlos and his guys! They took down a 40 foot tree that was in between 4 houses with incredible precision. It was no small feat! Upon removing the tree, it was realized that it had started to grow around a neighbor's old fence post. Initially we thought there would be no chance of grinding the stump, but somehow they managed. It was back breaking work, but they didn't stop until it was completed. Want to hire hard workers for a tree job? These are definitely the guys to hire! Thank you Carlos! We will be referring everyone we know in need of tree services to you!"
In Upper Marlboro, address tree service right away if you notice cracked trunks, leaning trees, or branches overhanging your roof—these are urgent safety risks, especially after storms. Rapid pest infestations or visible root upheaval also need prompt attention. Routine tree health maintenance, like seasonal pruning, can wait for late winter or early fall, but always consult a certified arborist if you’re unsure about the urgency.

In Upper Marlboro, tree service projects can impact underground utilities, foundation stability, and yard drainage. Before starting, note the proximity of large roots to sewer lines and ensure tree removal won’t alter water runoff, especially during Maryland’s rainy spring. Always mark utility lines before digging and consider how changes in shade from tree trimming may affect your home’s energy efficiency and landscaping.
Helpful?
In Upper Marlboro, small tree trimming jobs typically take 2-4 hours, while full tree removal or large-scale storm cleanup may require one to two days, especially during peak hurricane season. If permits are needed, this can extend the timeline. Emergency tree services after storms may take longer due to high demand, so scheduling routine work in early spring or late fall is often faster.
Helpful?
For minor tree care in Upper Marlboro, use sanitized pruning shears to trim branches under 2 inches in diameter, especially during late winter for optimal tree health. Check for early signs of pests common in Maryland, like emerald ash borer, and clear mulch or debris from the trunk base to prevent rot. Never attempt tree trimming near power lines or above shoulder height—these require professional tree removal safety protocols.
