Description of Work: Excellent! We had a tree fall on our guest house roof. They came on an emergency basis and promptly removed the tree and cleaned up the area. We hired them to cut up additional fallen trees. Highly recommend. Won't use anyone else.

Four men came with three large machines. One machine ground up the brush area and broke up the soil surface so that it could be planted with grass seed. Another machine was a kind of crane which could lift a man in a bucket high into trees to allow trims of large branches. Men with hand tools pruned the trees and shrubs. The third machine was a huge shredder which broke all the debris into mulch which was trucked away. The whole job took two days. The men worked hard and were unfailingly cheerful and obliging about new requests. For example, there was a large plum tree which is on the border of a neighbors yard which I had forgotten to include in the list of trees which needed pruning. For a small extra fee, they just did it. Mr Driver walked me round the property as the work was in progress, and again afterwards. He obviously knows the theory of his business, and enjoys his practical work. My landscape architect, who is not easy to please, said that the pruning was so well done that it was adequate in scope, but not immediately obvious on looking at the trees.
Description of Work: There were three separate jobs. 1) The house is surrounded by shrubs and plants which required pruning and thinning. In addition some weed plants including a huge elderberry needed to be removed. 2) The lawns and driveway contain about 18 large specimen trees which had never been pruned and needed thinning. 3) There was a property border which was encroached on to a depth of about 30 feet by a particularly vicious combination of brambles and poison ivy. This area needed to be denuded down to soil, and overhanging weed tree branches needed to be removed so that light could get in and allow grass to grow.

I call for an estimate for trimming (2) trees over my power lines, the work was done on time and very well done!! I asked that Arbor-X leave me the limbs for burning, not only did they cut them in about two pieces they also stacked them in a neat pile. Arbor-X even trimmed (2) small trees at no charge. I enjoyed my experience with Arbor-X, this is my third time using them and will use them again. If anyone one out there needs an outstanding tree service done -> You Must Call Arbor-X!
Description of Work: Trimmed to very tall trees about 30 to 50 feet high over power lines.

The company was very easy to deal with. They were extremely professional and everything went very well.
Description of Work: The owner was very thorough in examining all the trees on my property and discussing which ones could be trimmed vs. which were damaged/dangerous and should be removed. There is a lot of work to be done and I appreciated having a professional opinion to establish the priorities.

He worked us into his schedule to get the work done as soon as he could. He was very generous with his time as far as explaining his procedures and looking at what he could and couldn't do. The smaller trees were inside a wall and he let us know he couldn't remove the stumps and we agreed it would work. He came on time the day we agreed on. It was a cold, rainy day and him and another worker worked for 3 hours. There were no complaints. I would recommend him with no reservations.
Description of Work: He trimmed a large Maple tree, minor pruning on another and removed 2 other trees.

Arbox X has done extensive service on the approximately 50 trees on my property. Many are very old and contribute greatly to the overall appeal and value of the property. They are very important to me. Arbox X is the ONLY company I will allow to work on my property. They have proven their value time and again through consultation and recommendations. The amount of deadwood fall, tree damage and failure during windstorms has decreased to nearly zero since recommended work has been performed. Not only has this saved my old trees, it saves time, effort and money by reducing cleanup and removal after windstorms.
Description of Work: Professional consultation on overall health and considerations on approximately 50 trees of various age and species. Professional tree thinning to ANSI standards, cabling, deadwood removal, tree removal and stump grinding.

The crew did an excellent job. They worked quickly and cleaned up completely even moving 2 bird feeders in the yard so no damage would be done. They even removed a large bush that had blown down in a high wind. The tree that was trimmed looks great and we learned about how to care for our trees.
Description of Work: The company responded quickly to our request for an estimate. The estimate was detailed and very professional. The work involved the removal of 2 trees and the trimming of a third.

They were very knowledgeable. The gentleman who came out and did the estimate was also here when the work was done, so we knew that it was consistent with what we had originally agreed to. They were very reasonably price. They were extremely efficient and tidy in their clean up. They did exactly what they said they were going to do. It was absolutely a good experience. In fact, they had talked us out of doing some things that we had really wanted to do that would have brought them a larger paycheck, but they indicated that the best thing to do was to do a little bit now and do a little bit later, not all at once. I would absolutely work with them again in the future.
Description of Work: They took out a large limb of a birch tree, they cleaned up a Chinese elm tree and reshaped it, and they removed a small tree.

I had some construction damage to some of my trees and I needed to know info and the probable fate of these trees. I wanted to save these trees if at all possible so I called the DNR and they told me to find an ISA Certified Arborist. I looked online and found Arbor-X, I emailed them and the owner David Driver who is also an ISA Certified Arborist contacted me back and set up a time to come look at the trees. He was very cool in that he talked to me about all of my trees that I had questions about not just the damaged ones. He was very knowledgeable and not in a rush to get out of there. He then trimmed dead limbs off of a large hickory and I asked if I could keep the wood and he cut it up for me and put it on my woodpile. He also injected the soil with a fall fertilizer to help the trees recover from any stress they suffered. The soil and grass actually rose up when injected! He also fertilized other trees that needed it for free. I would highly recommend Arbor-X for any job big or small!
Description of Work: Dead limb trimming (climbed up tree with ropes, not spikes! to protect tree) and soil injection of fall fertilizer for a number of trees.

The overall experience was one of the best I had to date. The ArborX team is excellent at their job and will help you understand how to better care for you trees. It's started when my wife called ArborX to get a quote and advice on caring for one of my large river birch trees in my backyard. The tree is a twin (used to be a triplet) and the two trunks are growing close together. The owner of ArborX Dave came out and examined the tree he took his time and assessed the overall health of tree and determined he could cable the two trees together to keep them growing strong and keep them from eventually splitting and falling. Dave provided me a quote and explained in detail the process of cabling (with illustrations) and how the cable will take the strain of the two trees pushing against each other and still will allow the tree to sway in the wind (this is needed to keep the tree growing properly). He explained how the cable would be installed and how it would be virtually invisible. They came three day's later and installed the cable, and like the owner told me its virtually invisible (you really have to be looking for it to see it). When the tree was cabled it was too dark to trim the tree properly so Dave came back the next evening and finished the job. My wife and I are so please with the way the cabling and trimming turned out. ArborX removed all the dead branches and did so in a manner that you could even determine where they had been. We definitely will continue to use ArborX to care for all the trees on property.
Description of Work: ArborX cabled together a two large river birch trees in my backyard. The tree is a twin (used to be a triplet) and the two trunks are growing close together. They also trimmed the tree and one other on the property.

I had an "on the side" tree guy 1/2 finish a job on my property to remove 5 maples and grind the stumps. After a disagreement on the scope and cost, the fly-by-night guy disappeared and left a mess. Arbor X removed all the leftover logs and took down remaining 2 trees and ground all stumps and surface roots, and 2 extra old stumps that were nearby. Seed was spread in yard where damaged. A good, clean, quick and professional job. Their prices are in upper half of the spectrum but worth it.
Description of Work: Take down and remove 2 moderate sized Maple trees, grind the stumps from these 2 trees and three other stumps, cut up and remove wood left by other tree company.

Attention to detail is a large part in any job big or small. I felt that Dave and his crew of Arbor X treated my yard like their own and went to great lengths to ensure it stayed beautiful, for that I commend them.
Description of Work: Arbor-X was contracted to do multiple tree removals (8 actually) and stump removals around the property. Of which, 5 pines were close to a shed in the yard. Arbor-X performed the work safely and without damage to my property. They placed large plastic mats down on the ground for the crane to drive on, so that ruts would not be left; in case the crane was too heavy. President of the company, David Driver, a Licensed Maryland Tree Expert and ISA Certified Arborist was on site actually doing a lot of the work. The other men worked hard and very careful of the property as well. They cleaned up everything and actually did more than they were contracted to do. While they were doing the work, I asked how much would it cost to add another tree removal? It was a mid-size white pine, David said don t worry about it, he removed the tree and ground out the stump for no charge. In the past, I had always done the tree work in my yard myself. With a busy life, I decided to see what it would cost to get a tree service to do it. I had never used a tree service before. I requested an estimate from Arbor-X and 12 letters went out to other tree companies requesting estimates. Several came back with return to sender because the address was wrong, but we received written estimates from these companies: tree service companies. Many companies didn t even respond. Here s how the prices went on the original work that was asked to be estimated: Arbor-X, $1940; tree service company, $3285 (and add $400 if the Certified Arborist was asked to be on site); tree service company, $1675; tree service company, $1550; tree service company, $3150. To be fair, two of the tree service companies were including a little more trimming than the other companies, they were suggesting more trimming than what was asked in the letter. After further conversation with Arbor-X, the job was given to Arbor-X. I feel I made the right decision and got more than my money s worth. I highly suggest using them. I think they arrived around 9:00 AM and finished the job around 1:45 PM. Their large expensive equipment and numerous skilled employees is what helped them to do the job quickly, but they really took the time to make sure all was cleaned up and took measures to minimize any yard damage. The pines behind the shed were picked up in one piece by their crane. David said a crane was not needed to do the work, but they own their own crane so why not - it was much faster, safer and less impact to the yard. One of the stumps was near my neighbors and they held up barriers to protect against any flying debris because of the neighbors house and cars nearby. I decided not to do the little bit of trimming that was originally estimated. I will use them again if I need tree work in the future.

Everything went very well. We were very pleased with our decision to use Arbor-X for all of this work. The owner, David, returned our initial call the same day and actually was able to come that evening for an estimate. (We had five other estimates before he arrived!) His was the best of all the estimates and he, without asking, provided references and also left a copy of his insurance information. We were very impressed with his professionalism (he is a certified arborist) and subsequently the way he performed all the work. This job took the better part of three days and there was one day he could not come because of weather and he called and came the next day. Also, he responds quickly to emails and we communicated several times by email. He had to use a crane to remove the Ash tree and the work was performed in such a way that the tree was brought down safely and without harm to anything in the area. This company is very safety conscious and also careful to be sure everything is cleaned up when they are finished. Arbor-X also has a great website and you can see their equipment and even a video and pictures of tree work they have done. We have used other tree services in the past and felt that they rushed through our job to get to the next one. This did not happen with this company. We were extremely pleased with their work.
Description of Work: A very large Ash (over 4 ft. in circumference), a huge Magnolia (over 85 ft.) and 5 other trees were taken down and removed. All stumps and the surface roots were ground and the grindings were removed. A number of other trees and bushes were trimmed and all the trimmings were also removed. After the trees in the back yard were removed, the yard was mowed with a machine that went down about 1" in the soil. The soil was then graded and prepared for seeding.

Response from Arbor-X Inc
IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WORK FOR SOMEONE THAT RECOGNIZES AND APPRECIATES PROFESSIONALISM. THIS IS THE TYPE OF CUSTOMER WE LIKE. AS THE MEMBER STATED, SHE RECEIVED 5 OTHER ESTIMATES FROM OTHER COMPANIES. WE WERE PICKED TO DO THE WORK. I THINK THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT ARBOR-X. SHE FELT WE WERE THE MOST PROFESSIONAL AND ALSO GAVE THE BEST PRICE. WE COULD TELL THAT SHE MUST HAVE HAD BAD EXPERIENCES WITH OTHER TREE SERVICES IN THE PAST, AS THEY INSISTED THAT THEY BE HOME DURING THE WORK. IT WAS A PLEASURE WORKING FOR THEM, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BEVERAGES YOU OFFERED IN THAT HOT WEATHER!

Was not the best price, but only 1/3 of the highest estimate. His ideas concurred with what an arborist's told me needed to be done. He did the work under the estimate and ahead of schedule.

Response from Arbor-X Inc
THE MEMBER IS A SMART MAN. HE CONSULTED WITH A PERSONAL FRIEND OF HIS THAT IS A CERTIFIED ARBORIST. HE DID HIS HOMEWORK BEFORE HE HAD SEVERAL TREE COMPANIES COME FOR ESTIMATES. HE THEN HAD KNOWLEDGE TO JUDGE WHAT THE TREE CARE PERSON HAD TO SAY. I AM ALSO AN ISA CERTIFIED ARBORIST AND A MARYLAND TREE EXPERT. HE FOUND THAT MY RECOMMENDATIONS WERE SIMILAR TO HIS FRIENDS. HE FOUND OUT YEARS AGO THAT YOU DON’T JUST GO WITH THE CHEAPEST COMPANY. HIS REMAINING TREES ARE STILL SUFFERING THE EFFECTS OF A TREE HACKER’S TOPPING JOB. SEVERAL OF THE REMOVALS WE DID WERE TO REMOVE TREES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY TOPPED. TOPPING CREATES ROT AND OFTEN FAST GROWTH WHICH DOESN’T HOLD UP IN STORMS. TREES CAN BE CORRECTLY TRIMMED: THINNED OUT, CROWN REDUCTIONS, ELEVATING, TRIMMED FROM STRUCTURES AND DEAD-LIMB CLEANING. ALL OF THESE CAN KEEP A TREE HEALTHY AND YIELD A LONGER LIFE. TOPPING ALWAYS CREATES NEGATIVE RESULTS IN A FEW YEARS AND WILL ULTIMATELY LEAD TO THE TREES NEED TO BE REMOVED. IT WAS A PLEASURE WORKING FOR HIM. A GOOD WEBSITE THAT WILL HELP YOU PREPARE FOR A TREE CARE PROFESSIONAL AND ALSO TEACH YOU ABOUT TREE CARE IS WWW.TREESAREGOOD.ORG. IT IS NOT MY SITE, BUT WAS CREATED BY ISA (INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ARBORICULTURE)TO HELP THE PUBLIC.

The site was tricky located on a slope with low dry-set stone retaining walls surrounding the tree. They had the tree out in 35 minutes without disturbing the surrounding gardens. Nice job. Good clean up. Professional attitude.

ALTHOUGH A NUMBER OF HOMES HAD SUFFERED SIMILAR DAMAGE, AND DEMAND FOR TREE REMOVAL WAS HIGH, THE COMPANY CAME PROMPTLY. THE WORK LOOKED DANGEROUS, BUT THE TREE EXPERT LOOKED LIKE HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING, AND THE WHOLE THING CAME DOWN MUCH MORE QUICKLY, AND EASILY THAN I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT.
