Milton's Tree Care MD

They were super quick in taking down our huge fallen tree branch. VERY reasonable pricing and quick turnaround

It went fine - not as much as I would have liked trimmed and seemed pretty expensive for what was done.

It took a couple of weeks for an appointment but the crew was on time and worked fast and efficiently. They cleaned up very well, even the neighbors were impressed.

I have used Milton's Tree Service for my mother's house where he removed two huge tree's that were over 100 ft and a second time today at my house from several trees that fell from the recent storm. His crew shows up on time, are experienced, friendly and do a great job cleaning up all the debris. SUPERB service and I wouldn't use any other tree company!

Very competitive pricing. Very professional work. Excellent clean-up. Very pleased with the jobs he's done and will continue to use him.

I took advantage of an Angie's List offer for Milton's Tree Service: pay $199 for $400 worth of tree service. When Milton came to my home, I asked him about trimming a tree and removing a tree. I had 3 mature trees growing too close to each other, and I wanted to preserve the one in the middle (a crepe myrtle) by trimming the tree to its left, and removing the one on the right. Milton said there was no need to remove the tree, and instead suggested trimming a long row of leyland cypress trees. I agreed to that work, since I know that leylands over time can break or collapse. Two things did not go well with the work on the leylands. First, Milton's crew brought in a cherry picker. That was fine as he had told me in advance he would need to use a cherry picker to reach the tops of the leylands, and so as not to damage my lawn, he needed to make sure the ground was not wet since he'd be driving the equipment on my lawn. However, what his crew did not do is check for sprinkler heads in the ground. And since the leylands are on the edge of my property, they drove the cherry picker on my lawn and my neighbor's. My neighbor came out of his house very upset that the picker was on his property, and the potential for damaging the sprinkler heads. Fortunately it didn't damage my sprinkler heads nor my neighbor's, but they should have checked for the heads first, and they should have notified my neighbor they'd be driving on his lawn. The second issue was how much Milton charged me for the service. He gave me the estimate before he did the work (weeks in advance) which I assumed did not include the $400 credit. Instead, after the work was done, he said his fee included the credit, therefore, I had to pay $400 more than I expected. I really think he charged me an extra $200 to $400 to cover the value of the coupon, especially since he gave me an estimate that was not based on anything quantitative such as number of hours of labor, or number of leyland trees to be trimmed. My suggestion would be to know how much a service costs before getting an Angie's List coupon so you know whether you're getting the full value of the coupon. In Milton's favor, the trimming work his crew did on the leylands was excellent.

The work was excellent and clean up was done after they finished. Both the tree and the lilac bush look better than ever. The only issue is that it took a while for the work to be scheduled, but all was done well and promptly once it was scheduled.

Service was excellent. It was readily apparent that they really cared about taking care of the trees and ensuring their health.

They were very professional, their price was reasonable and I had no problems with them. There were additional charges. I would use them again in the future.

I got prices from 2 other firms and they were much higher than he was. He took down the trees. One tree he wasn't going to take down then decided he would go ahead. Cut them all into logs for me. It was all part of it.

It didn't turn out well. The guy couldn't come when expected because of rain. He ended up showing a few weeks later and the tree because of all of the water it didn't turn out. When I called him back I couldn't get him he said his wife was having a baby. I ended up having to use someone else to tie the tree down. I wouldn't use him again ever. We lost the tree anyway. Even though I called him back he never followed up.

It took a bit of time to get this work scheduled, even though I paid in advance. Overall, the work went pretty well. It was a large tree, and a big job in a tight space. The laborer who did the tree cutting/trimming was very skilled. He was accompanied by three workers. Towards the end of the project, when the trunk was being cut, one of the helpers on the guide line let a limb slip into my rear fence, taking a plug out of the back of the fence. The crew did a quick repair with a piece of borrowed wood. I would have preferred them to return to do a better repair of my fence, or to deduct some amount from my payment. I was taking a video at the time and have a recording of the incident.

They did an excellent job. The workers were on time, very professional, thorough, and cleaned up after themselves. They were also very knowledgeable on the different types of trees and the best way to trim them.

Great work. In addition to trimming the 2 large shrubs, an additional shrubs was trimmed and also a pine tree.

It went well. The assessment was done quickly and although it took awhile to schedule the work (about 6 weeks), once the work was scheduled, the crew was on time, polite and worked quickly. They did a great job with clean up too.

Mr. Milton and his crew transformed my yard, but taking down a pine tree and mulberry tree in my yard as well as pruning a few trees getting too close to my roof. He gave me the best price by a great deal. His crew took a little longer than expected to administer service, but Mr. Milton was incredibly responsive and checked in with me regularly. Great work overall. I will definitely call him again.

Estimate went smoothly and efficiently, work was performed 2 days later quickly and cleanly.

He called me after a month and said he just found the email with my information on it. He then looked at my tree using Google or some other program where you can see a person's house. He implied that want I wanted was just a small job and he would get back to me. He never did. I finally called him and he said he only comes into DC for jobs costing $600 or more and Angie's list made a mistake by not including that in the offer. He was quite nasty and rude.

I HIGHLY recommend Milton's Tree Care Service (http://miltonstreecareservice.com/). Milton was extremely responsive, kind, knowledgeable and professional. He came out yesterday (2 hours after I called) and checked out the tree, gave me a very reasonable quote and was here at 7:30 this morning with a crew of 4-5 guys, a bucket loader truck and a wood chipper truck. In less than two hours his crew had removed the fallen tree (without breaking the cable wires), removed the tree next to the fallen one which was also apparently dead- and trimmed branches on the other side (complimentary since he was up there anyway he said). His crew then cleaned up and finished, removing everything and leaving the backyard looking cleaner than when they started. He will also be coming back and trimming some more branches for us this winter. I am ecstatic to have found Milton and his company and would recommend their service without hesitation.

Milton visited us on May 22. He estimated cutting down one big tree plus four small trees in the backyard. There were a lot of new growing plants around the big tree, therefore cutting it down required carefulness and high professionalism. His total price was $700.00. Therefore I added $300.00 more to already paid $199.00. My total was $500.00. The job was done very professional - the team really didn't damage any other plants. I was satisfied with the quality of their work. But I should notice that the appointment was scheduled twice. At first it was June 2, but they didn't come and they didn't call me. The next day Milton called , said "Sorry" and we scheduled the appointment for June 9.

Owner came by and gave thoughtful professional assessment of what needed to be done, came on time to first and all subsequent appointments, had excellent professionals provide the agreed upon services, even allowed me to pay bill over several months. Strongly recommended company to my boyfriend, who was so impressed, he recommended him to his neighbor. Everyone was very pleased with the services provided.

He was professional from the beginning to the end he isn't over priced and didn't made it seem like it's all about the money it was more about what's best for me

Responsive, prompt, and providing clear description of work to be performed. Well done.

Great. Milton is a knowleable and great guy who really cares about the environment.

See above. Would definately hire again.
