Great price in comparison to their competition. Work was scheduled and completed within a week. The crew was on time to the minute and were there most efficient contractors I’ve ever had. They did exactly what they said they would, no surprises, and cleaned up after themselves.

We hired Takoma Tree Svc to cut up and remove a large tree that had fallen during a windstorm. Bill Marvil kept in touch with us while coordinating the day and time, parking arrangements, etc. His crew worked quickly and knew exactly what they were doing, very professional. I learned about them from the Consumer Checkbook website, where they got very good ratings. I would not hesitate to hire them again.

My fiance and I just moved into a house in DC and had two trees that needed pruning. The trees had broken limbs and branches resting on cables in our yard and our neighbors' yards. The process to get a quote was simple, and they were able complete the work really quick. I won't hesitate to call again the next time I need tree service.

The crew that took down our dead white oak was excellent. The tree was leaning over our neighbor’s house and they very carefully cut limbs and pulled them into our yard. They were very respectful of the neighbors and left their property and ours impeccably clean. I highly recommend Takoma Tree Experts.

Service was excellent from point of contact to estimate to providing contract to setting service appointment and actual removal of tree. Their business office and experts were very responsive throughout the entire process. This tree had been fine for many years but, suddenly, this year the bark started falling off the upper branches and then off the lower branches; two thirds of the upper branches were dead. DC government determined that the tree was hazardous and needed to be removed. The tree was located in the front yard of my home; challenges included tree branches hanging over an electric line on one side and cable television line on the other as well as the trunk located next to the concrete walk to my door. Another challenge was that in recent storms three large (at least 10 feet long) branches fell off the tree. I contacted four tree service firms. All four responded. Notably, Takoma Tree Experts sent estimator within about a week, sent contract with a reasonable price within another week, responded quickly and informatively to questions I had such as stump grinding and tree location next to concrete walk. I mentioned my concern about the branches that had fallen and they assured me "We would certainly do this by mid next week, before Thanksgiving, might even be possible this Friday, but we will rush it, as long as the weather cooperates." That's all I needed, I signed the contract and their crew showed up the following week. The crew's work was excellent: they showed up on time, got to work, and finished in about 5 to 6 hours, much of which was spent navigating the close quarters challenges in my front yard. They exercised skill and care in cutting down the branches hanging over the electric line as well as the concrete walk so that no damage was done in the relatively close quarters of my front yard. You have to see this to appreciate the skill and care needed to bring these branches down while directing their fall away from the line and walk. This is far more involved than sawing and dropping where there is open area not near power lines, walkways, houses. And yes, they cleaned up and ground up the branches and debris as they went along and left my yard as well as my neighbors yard clear of debris. Still, you can't imagine my relief that this was concluded with any incidents or delays. Finally, it may not be important to some folks, but I also appreciated their variety and convenience of payment methods, including online methods.

I was impressed with the crew's skill at removing a large tree in a difficult location--hillside, power lines, adjacent vegetation--without damage or disruption. I have used this company since the 1990s, and can recommend them highly.

I highly recommend Takoma Tree experts. We had a very large and old Oak tree that unfortunately had to come down. The estimate and service was very timely. The crew was very efficient and did an excellent and safe job removing the tree. They were very polite and clean. I would use them again.

I chose Takoma Tree because of their price and follow-up provided by their office assistant. I was first impressed when the team showed up early and with all the equipment they needed. You could tell the team had worked together before and that each man knew his job. TASK: remove 40' remainder of a very large oak tree TIME: Job completed in same day SCOPE OF WORK: Location of the tree was backyard which has a narrow path to reach it. Remaining tree was 3 feet in diameter. Access was by a narrow path along side my house. TEAM: Tree climber plus 4 men. EQUIPMENT: Ropes, chain saws, gasoline and oil for saws, heavy duty plastic trash cans, Bobcat slender hauler, and bucket truck as alternative backup. Start time was close to Noon and they even brought their lunch with them. Taking down the remaining tree was completed the same day. The process was very interesting to watch as the tree climber was quick and precise in his roping off a section, making his cuts, and then directing the path where the segment should fall without damaging my property. Ground crew knew exactly what to do and when so they made the take down in 4 sections. Four sections were then cut into 18' to 24" rounds which were taken by the Bobcat along the narrow path to the waiting truck out front. Even when the truck had to be unloaded, work did nor stop because the men moved as many of the rounds manually to the front until the truck returned. The tree site was raked and sawdust blown away and large debris removed before the crew left. Because they bought the bucket truck, I was able to "add on" a trim job needed to remove dead branches from a tree in my front yard. I thanked the crew for a very well done job and provided them cold water. An excellent job!
