About tree removal and trimming in Maryland
What the job covers
Taking a tree down, trimming limbs away from the house or wires, clearing storm damage, and grinding the stump. Big removals near buildings are usually done in sections, with a crane or bucket truck.
Who can do it
Anyone paid to trim, care for or remove trees in Maryland needs a Licensed Tree Expert licence from the Department of Natural Resources. Licensed experts carry a card with their number.
What changes the price
The tree's size, how close it is to the house or wires, whether equipment can get in, and whether you want the wood hauled and the stump ground. We don't publish price guesses; two or three written estimates will tell you the local price.
Before you hire for tree work
- Ask for their Maryland Licensed Tree Expert number. Licensed experts carry a card with it.
- Ask whether your tree needs a county permit first, especially near the water.
- Get at least two written estimates that say who removes the wood and grinds the stump.
- Ask for proof of insurance before anyone climbs.
