Best Tree Service Companies in Frederick, MD

Look for a company with ISA Certified Arborists on staff, which is the professional standard for tree care. They must carry liability insurance and workers' compensation — tree work has significant injury rates, and uninsured crews put your property at risk. Check Google ratings for reviews mentioning clean debris removal and safe work practices.

Tree trimming costs $250–$800 per tree depending on size and access. Small tree removal (under 30 ft) runs $400–$900; large tree removal (60–100+ ft) can cost $1,200–$3,000+. Stump grinding adds $100–$400 per stump.

Trimming a single medium-sized tree takes 1–4 hours. Removal of a large tree takes a half to full day. Stump grinding typically takes 1–3 hours. Crews usually haul debris the same day.

Ask whether they employ ISA Certified Arborists, request proof of current general liability insurance and workers' compensation (non-negotiable for climbing work), whether they own their equipment, and what their stump removal policy is.

All listings are sourced from Google Business Profiles and ranked by real Google ratings and review volume. Always independently verify ISA Arborist certification and active insurance certificates before any tree work begins.

Document property damage with photos immediately. Contact the company in writing and file a claim against their liability insurance if damage occurred. For licensing violations in states that require them, file with the state contractor licensing board.
