"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."

"We hired SavATree several years ago to assess our dying maple trees. They recommended a treatment plan and literally saved our trees from being cut down. The trees are treated quarterly and are thriving. We recently hired SavATree to trim all of our trees (4 large maples and 5 large crepe myrtles). They did an EXCELLENT job and I cannot praise the arborist and team highly enough. Polite, professional, communicate very well, very neat - nice trucks with the latest equipment, great uniforms. Shout out to Kevin Garone and his team. We will never use any other company. We are highly satisfied customers. SavATree is the BEST."

"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!"

"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."

"Trees by Tito did a great job of removing 3 large diseased oak trees from our property & our neighbors property. Out of three estimates, they delivered the best price. They were punctual, efficient & professional. They did a remarkable job of cleaning up the debris from the trees. One of our trees was not easily accessible, but they made the removal seem so effortless. They did an amazing job of protecting other trees & bushes nearby. When you call, Wendy will answer. She will set-up a visit by Tito for an estimate. I highly recommend Trees by Tito for your tree removal needs."

"Late on the evening of June 30, strong storms rolled through the District.  Those storms caused an approximately 75ft Poplar tree in the rear of our home to fall.  Thankfully, a neighboring tree of similar height prevented it from landing on our neighbor's home.  Before the sun came up, we began searching for tree services and came across Tri-State Tree Service.  We called at approximately 7:30am which is the time the company is listed as being open for business.  Mr. Kerwin Harmon answered the phone, listened to our tree issue and indicated he would come to our home within an hour.  Within an hour, Mr. Harmon was at our home assessing the fallen tree. He discussed his plan for tree removal which included job start time, duration and price.  By the end of the day, the tree had been removed and the wood was neatly stacked in our yard in a predetermined location.  A large tree stump had also be removed at our request.  The entire process was professional and smooth.  We will absolutely use Tri-State Tree Service again.

"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."

"During the 2/24/2019 windstorm in Montgomery County a pine tree fell onto my neighbors' property. I contacted Kuhn's to have that fallen tree removed and also to get an estimate on a large oak tree in my front yard that has had issues with many falling branches. I had used them before to grind a stump and remove deadwood from another fallen tree. Sean was very knowledgeable about the trees and provided me a good price to do the work. The crew that came was very professional and completed all the work in about 3 hours. The only issue I had was getting the crew out but that was because there was weather and an emergency job that came in the way and I felt the office could be a little more responsive but overall it was good work. I will use this company again."

FAQs for tree service projects in Washington, DC

Professionals remove shrubs by first cutting back the branches using tools like pruning shears or chainsaws for thicker stems. They then cut the base close to the ground and dig around the root system to remove the roots completely, preventing regrowth. Finally, they’ll ensure proper disposal of branches and debris while complying with local regulations.

A bush stump will regrow if any portion of its root system remains. When even a small section of roots is left behind, new shoots emerge and regenerate the bush with leggy, spreading growth. Working with a professional landscaper ensures the complete removal of the stump and all roots, which is essential to prevent any regrowth, ensuring that the area remains clear and maintenance is minimized.
