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

"Hometown Tree experts were excellent from the start to end. Scheduling the free estimate to the actual removal was very smooth. Our guy who completed the estimate (Mark maybe?), Brandi at the office and the staff who removed the tree were exceptionally efficient and responsive. The quality of work and customer service were top notch."

"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."

"Ted and team arrived on time, and after a long day with little breaks took out the four trees, cut them into manageable logs and trimmed large branches off trees that overhung the roof. Every section or branches was carefully lowered and cut up and chipped. I kept checking in and they explained what they did and still had left to do. Every team member worked very hard. The price was very reasonable for the amount of work performed. I would hire then again. Ted and team were very professional."

"Extremely well organized crew who worked hard. They removed two dead trees, removed another that was growing into power lines, trimmed three large maple trees and trimmed a row of leyland cypresses that were "leggy". There obviously was a lot of debris and nothing was left behind. It looked great and it was the agreed price - very professional work. I will use them again!"

"Tree trimming and removal of dead bushes"

"I have used Freestate Tree Service before, as they always do a great job. This experience was not different. I had to have a dying Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) removed, approximately 30 feet tall. They promptly responded to my initial e-mail to have them come out and check to see if the tree was able to be saved (it wasn't, which was no surprise) and e-mailed an estimate the next day. The other two companies (one wasn't able to get someone out to look at the tree until 2 weeks from my e-mail) and the one that did stop by gave an over-the-phone quote that was significantly higher. The Freestate guys showed up bright and early to start cutting away at the tree. They always seem to do quite a lot of work in a rather short amount of time. By the afternoon the tree was gone and they were cleaning up."

"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."

"Kurt and his team were very professional and expedient. Kurt was very flexible in creating a design that matched our desired look as well as fit in with the house and lot. His team completed the job very quickly, and Kurt was very attentive to details to ensure that we were completely happy before he considered the job complete. Highly recommended"
