"Rick returned our calls promptly and gave us a fair quote for services. Baumann's does not overcharge or upsell. Once we settled on Baumann's Landscaping as our contractor, we called Rick and the crew were out the next morning promptly at 9am. We were expecting two days of work to clear the brush, but they completed the job in 4 hours. The crew went above and beyond, killing vines choking our trees, mulching all the deadfall, and pushing the brush line all the way back beyond the trees (we live on Maryland wetlands). Fast, prompt, great job. Would absolutely hire again. A++."

"The team at Xtra Care has done several landscaping projects for us as well as perform our seasonal maintenance. Their work always impresses us. The transformation is like magic. The most recent project was landscaping in front of my mother-in-law’s home which turned out amazing. Prior to that they solved a problem we had with mowing a steep hillside. This past spring they completed a patio and garden project that we built a pavilion over that we use daily. It has transformed a useless part of our yard into a beautiful outdoor oasis. The crew is great and they work so hard to get things done and done right. The office staff always follows up in a very timely manner. The owners are the best and have wonderful ideas on how to improve our property. We have had a wonderful experience working with Xtra Care and are certainly planning to use them again. We truly enjoy all the improvements they have made to our outdoor spaces. We highly recommend them for your landscaping needs."

"They were amazing.  Fast, efficient, and careful. We have, unfortunately, seen a lot of trees taken down in our neighborhood.  We have not seen anybody do it as well as the group from Family Tree Experts.

"We purchased our house three years ago and I’ve been struggling to improve the lawn from day one. I know It’s time for an intervention, but I don’t want a ton of chemicals and I hate pushy salespeople (looking at you TG), so I procrastinated getting help. Enter Mark from American Lawn and Tree Specialist. He’s been responsive, informative, and a true pleasure to deal with while I navigate my options. It’s going to take time to get my lawn healthy, but I’m confident that this company is the one who will get it there. I’ve been so impressed, that I may just switch our landscaping contract over to this company as well."

"I was amazed that Bryron the son called me the same day of my inquiry which happened over a holiday weekend. The workers could not have been so fast, cheerful and polite on a very hot day than any other company I worked with. Our yard had been neglected we had trees and shrubs hanging over the gutters and stubborn weeds. Now I really feel proud of our lawn when I wave to the neighbors because not only was the greenery trimmed but they made each bush and tree like shrub in a perfect manicured shape. The price is reasonable and I would hire them again for bigger jobs in the future. In glad the other company I used to work with did not get back to me. These are pros."

"The company was good about rescheduling when it was clear the heavy rains were coming on the original date. The team came on the rescheduled date between 12 and 1 but I was never able to get an estimated time of arrival for the day and the original said AM. So I waited all morning at my daughter's house, raked some leaves and then they came. They were very efficient and gave me advice about her lawn, answered questions and were very professional. I would use them again.

"The providers tree crew arrived promptly, and set to bringing down a 120' tree w/out damaging the yard or surrounding wall.  They did this w/amazing accuracy and professionalism.  They pruned all the other trees and shrubs per our request and when the large poplar tree was on the ground we could see first hand the damage that had already occurred in the tree and was simply waiting for a big wind to topple over this giant.  There was no outward evidence that we could see but Ferris Crilly (owner) recognized the problem of dual trunk, poplar tree.  Had this tree not come down under his crew's care it would have fallen at some point on either our house or crashed over our road.  This tree was rotten down to the bottom of the trunk and we didn't have a clue there was any problem.   The rest of the work was completed to our complete satisfaction.  The team cleaned up our yard and driveway of all debris including saw dust from the chain saw chopping up the tree trunk. They left our property in as good as, or better condition than they found it before they began their work.   Pro Arbor will be our tree professionals for any future needs.   They KNOW what to do, and how to do it safely, and with care to protect the surrounding landscaping and property.  We rate them at A++.

FAQs for trees & shrubs treat, protect and maintain projects in Silver Spring, MD

The optimal transplanting season depends on your tree species, but most trees respond best when moved during dormancy. For deciduous trees, late fall after leaf drop or early spring before bud break provides the lowest stress periods. Evergreens transplant better in early fall or late summer when soil temperatures remain warm enough for some root growth. Avoiding transplanting during active growth periods helps trees direct energy toward establishing new roots rather than supporting foliage.

While technically, trees of any size can be transplanted with the right equipment and expertise, practical considerations limit what's reasonable for most homeowners. Trees with trunk diameters under 15 inches are most commonly transplanted in residential settings. Success rates decline as trees increase in size and age, with specimens over 24 inches in diameter presenting significant challenges and costs. For large trees, carefully weigh the substantial investment against the potential benefits and survival probability.

Most transplanted trees require one to two years to fully establish in their new location, with larger specimens often needing additional time. During this establishment period, the tree regenerates roots that were inevitably lost during the move. Signs of successful establishment include normal seasonal growth patterns, healthy leaf development, and reduced dependence on supplemental watering. The quality of aftercare during this critical period significantly influences long-term survival rates.

Self-transplanting is feasible for small trees with trunk diameters under two to three inches if you have proper tools and follow correct techniques. However, medium to large trees require professional expertise and specialized equipment to ensure tree survival and property protection. While professional services cost more initially, they achieve much higher success rates and prevent potential damage to your property or the tree itself. The investment in professional services often proves worthwhile when considering the value of mature trees.
