Get matched with top trees and shrubs trimming or removal pros in Cockeysville, MD

"From beginning to end it went really well. Greg is a walking encyclopedia of trees and good practical advice on how to manage them. His proposal was clearly written and lower than two other firms. The crew was right on time, wasted no time getting set up and taking the tree down, and removed a large limb from another tree that fell while they were working on the dead tree. They climbed up about 50 feet in a twin trunk tree and installed a cable between the twins to help stabilize the lesser twin. Very pleased with them, enough to recommend them to my neighbor who also used them for a dead tree in their front yard."

"They are really nice and I ended up feeling taken. Ben Allen came out to do an estimate on my neighbor's yard and my neighbor asked if I wanted to talk with him as well as we had just moved into a home where nothing had been done in quite a while. Ben gave an estimate of $1850 to clear out the bushes in front of my house trim back or prune all the trees, remove the ivy from the trees and the house, and take out the overgrowth around my garage. I never got it in writing and had to call back to find out what was going on. I kind of figured when I spoke to the mom in the office and told her the price that there was a problem - it just felt weird, and she suggested that he come out. I had gotten the day wrong that they were coming so I said, I would get it in writing when he came out to do the work. The day that they came out to do the work the price magically jumped from $1850 to the price he quoted my neighbor of $3200. In retrospect, I should have declined. First off Ben said that the reason was the oaks that I had, needed to be really pruned so I said, then just get the obvious stuff, and then he said that the reason for the increase was that he hadn't included the cost of removing the overgrowth next to the garage. At that point I was pretty much caught in trying to figure out what was so and feeling like an absolute idiot for not having gotten it in writing, and with a house that badly needed the work, so we made the decision to get it over with. The trees that should have been really pruned still have dead wood in them, and there is still ivy everywhere on the trees. On the plus side, the guys were really really nice, asked about removing trees as they went along, and cleaned up everything. If I hadn't been so upset by the whole experiece I would have been out there asking about limbs that weren't done, so some of it is my fault for not being on top of things in the end and some of it is that they should have done what they overcharged or underestimated from the beginning. I asked my husband to find out about the trees but being direct isn't his forte. I honestly don't know if I would use them again. I think overall they do good work. The wise thing to do is to write it down yourself if he isn't going to do it. The interesting thing is that on the back of his card is a place for estimates so I get the impression that this has happened before."

"So Ted and his guys came out the next 2 days (Thursday & Friday) and performed all work to my satisfaction; cut them into logs so I can split later for my wood stove; and they thoroughly cleaned up site (only logs and saw dust left over on ground).  There were also some dead branches in a nearby tree close to the one by garage and he trimmed at no additional charge.

Everything was done in a professional manner and more than I expected.

My next door neighbor was interested and I told him what was being done.  So as a result he had Abba Chief T.S. cut 2 dying trees as well.

My wife and I are very happy with Abba Chief Tree Services and would highly recommend them to anyone needing such services.  You will not be disappointed.  Ted and his wife are very nice people to deal with.

I will be using Abba Chief T.S. again before this coming winter to cut/trim trees branches that are hanging over our house.

"Removed very Large oak tree and stump"

"OMG they were excellent. I had two trees so tall they looked like they touched the sky that were looming over my home. They were able to cut and remove both trees, clean the area to perfection and not dig up my lawn with tire tracks or equipment. Pricing was fair and reasonable. I would highly recommend this company."

"This is the third time in the last 7 years that I have hired Ben Jones to remove trees. His work has consistently been outstanding and his prices are very competitive. There are no hidden charges. He shows up when he promises to and he gets the work done quickly. He always cleans up afterwards. I would hire him again if I ever need further work."

"I contacted five tree removal companies to provide an estimate. The Greentree guy (I am sorry he verbally told me his name, but I have forgotten it).I provided him with my list of what exactly I wanted done and I accompanied him around the yard pointing out the trees and discussing the job. He seemed to know what he was talking about and provided me with what I thought was useful information. When we were finished, he verbally gave me an estimate and gave me some information about Greentree's schedule and openings. I thanked him for his time and he left. The estimate he gave me was the lowest estimate I received, however it was not written down nor did he provide me with any supporting paperwork like all the rest. It may just be me but I was someone uncomfortable with this approach to business. It may have worked out perfectly well if I had decided to go with Greentree, and maybe they are so busy they don't need to be more business like. In any case, despite the low estimate, I was just not comfortable with Greentree. Other's may feel differently."

"Let me say that I was extremely pleased with the removal of my trees by the Tree People. From the initial scheduling and estimation process to the completion of the job, the crew performed in a professional, determined and expeditious manner. initially I had a good deal of anxiety given the location of one of my tress and its proximity to power lines, but as the process unfolded the teamwork, re-direction and methodical cutting quickly allayed all my fears. The team worked very well together, and many times exhibited enjoyment in their work. The trees are now gone, but my memory of the Tree People will linger on. Great Job !!"

"Mr. Cruz was knowledgeable of the tasks involved with tree cutting . He was kind and showed concern for me as his client. I was very satisfied with his work . He also removed the debris .I would definitely recommend him for future referrals."
