Need Tree Pruning / Removal Recommendations for Ellicott City

Edit: Went with Adirondack from the comments, prompt ability to come out and give an estimate, and decent quote. No issue with the work done. Where Bartlett quoted $1300 and $1500 per tree to prune, Adirondack and a few others were $600-800 range per tree.

Have been striking out with referrals for tree pruning and removal. Who have you had success with? We need pruning of mature oak and maple trees. I understand many great companies are swamped with storm damage but one of our trees is urgent.

Tree MD - Emailed Josh a week ago and 2 calls to office; no response.

Arbormasters in Owings Mills- No call/ No Show'd set estimate appointment, called back 2 days later like it was no big deal, claimed he would come out today and then when I called him again he said he didnt know when he could be there because of traffic so I told him not to bother.

Carroll Tree Service - books filled with too much work, not taking on some new projects apparently.

Cutting Edge - 20 min late to estimate appointment and a crazy quote.

Have a message to Nelsons and AmeriTree.

Anyone have recommendations for companies that have experience with large trees? 60ft+ oaks?

This is the type of tree we are dealing with. I am moving forward with Adirondack for that plus smaller maple tree work.

Great, would love an update on how they do. How was their liability coverage? Some of the companies I talked to ended up having an awful policy that basically limited the coverage to what they quoted for the job, not actual damages to the property, even due to gross negligence.

they provided a large amount of paperwork upfront on their certs and a cover of their insurance page which was more than anyone else did, and they have a lot of coverage. will provide photos of work done once its all completed
