Get matched with top tree stump removers in Columbia, MD

"Quick to respond. Got the job done the same day. Professional."

"Fabulous experience! could not have gone better. Communication spot on. Arrived promptly for estimate and emailed it immediately. they charge $600 and had other estimates for $900, $100 and $1400 for same job! sent out Miss utility and once that was complete they were ready to c ome out the next day. they had to push is to one day later due to an unexpectedly long job but they came the next day as promised. They communicated with me by phone, email and text to let me know off the schedules and any chances. Did the work with a team of 5 and large, well-kept machines. removed the stump and removed all the debris and place was in perfect condition (minus our dead tree) when they left. final payment request came in promptly and was easy to pay online. I would hire them again without any hesitation. VERY happy with the company."

"They took down a dying ash for me and did a good job. There are a few big reasons I'm giving them a bad review. First, despite my specifically asking if a tree removal permit was required, they said no. They know better - I found out afterwards that a permit is required. I could have been fined a serious amount of $$$. They also recommended trimming my huge elm tree in July, but lucky for me two other tree companies told me that elms can only be trimmed in winter when they are dormant. Trimming elms when they have leaves risks Dutch Elm disease. Shifflett has been in business for a long time - surely they know better about all of the above. Really disappointed. In DC, both you as the homeowner and the tree service can get slapped with hefty fines (like $10K and up) for failing to apply for a permit to remove a tree. For a dead or dying tree, the permits are free. Adirondack Tree not only told me I had to get a permit, they also applied and got it for me. It took about 2 days. People may not know that in DC and other areas like Takoma Park, MD, you need a permit to remove trees, but a professional tree service should know and follow this law, it's there for a good reason. See ddot.dc.gov/page/tree-re… Beyond that, Shifflett's estimate that was way more than those from two other tree companies. I'm just lucky that I got other estimates - otherwise I would have paid far more, risked being fined for not having the required permit, and my elm tree could have gotten Dutch Elm disease due to Shifflet's negligence."

"Project Manager came to site. Reviewed tasks and provided estimates"

"very nice to deal with"

"multiple trees were cut down and removed, Roberto was friendly and professional. i would definitely hire the company again. the crew went above and beyond my expectation"

"We had a leaning tree in danger of hitting our deck. They came out quickly, and took it down without a hitch."

"From the original estimate to the final payment everything about this job was great. I highly recommend him to anyone needing stump grinding"

"He was very nice and gave lots of advice and took his time. Answered all my questions"

"Alex and his crew were wonderful in every regard. They listened to what we wanted, made suggestions, and did a marvelous job in our planting beds. We will be using them again in the spring to aerate our lawn and replant grass. I cannot recommend them more highly."
