If a tree worker cannot show you a Maryland LTE license number, they are not legally allowed to remove trees for pay in this state. We can.
Why homeowners choose us over the cheapest quote
Licensed, not just insured
MD LTE #002327. Maryland law requires this license to remove trees for compensation. Unlicensed crews are common and legally not allowed to do this work.
Equipment for the hard jobs
Crane-assisted removal available. Tight urban lots or trees near power lines and structures, we do not turn away the difficult ones.
No drop and leave surprise
You choose the cleanup level upfront. Full haul-away or keep the wood for firewood, either way the price is agreed before we start.
Insurance claim assistance
Documentation for your adjuster. If the removal is storm-related, we provide the paperwork insurers ask for.
27 years, same standards
Family-run since 1998. Not a franchise. Same crew quality on every job, every year.
Removals Maryland homeowners actually trust
“USA trees was very competitive with removal of my pine tree. I was very happy with the price. They did remove the tree, and grinded up the stump.”
“I had an emergency with a tree that had fallen on the power lines over our garage. The crew arrived at 8am and safely got the tree off the lines and down.”
“They safely removed a massive oak tree near our property line and cleaned up the yard completely before leaving. Highly recommended!”
What to know before you remove a tree in Maryland
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property?
It depends on the diameter, your county, and whether the property is in a Chesapeake Bay Critical Area. Montgomery County, Takoma Park, and Chevy Chase have stricter local rules. We check this during your free estimate.
Why do quotes for the same tree vary by thousands of dollars?
Lower quotes often skip real workers compensation insurance, leave debris behind, or do not carry liability coverage. A fair price reflects licensed labor, insurance, and proper equipment instead of corner-cutting.
Do you offer crane-assisted removal?
Yes. For trees in tight spaces, close to structures, or over power lines, crane removal avoids property damage that sectional cutting can risk.
Can I keep the wood for firewood?
Yes. Tell us when you book and we will do a cut and leave instead of full haul-away, which typically lowers the price too.
Will homeowners insurance cover the removal?
Usually only if the tree already fell or damaged a structure, not as preventative maintenance. If it is storm-related, we help document it for your claim.
How fast can you get here for an emergency?
24/7 response. During active storms expect a delay based on demand, but we prioritize trees on structures or blocking access.
