I am a repeat customer. After using Columbia Tree & Lawn a few months ago, my neighbor and I had a dispute about another tree in my yard. Chuck and his fabulous crew came back to my home and took care of the situation in record time. Once again, you all are the best! Very much appreciated!

We hired these guys for a huge bamboo removal job consisting of 11 years of overgrowth that came from a nearby neighbor's yard. I battled this stuff for 11 years and had no freaking clue how badly I was losing until Chuck came in with his machinery and started pulling up all the massive roots of this devil plant. These guys are amazing, they made quick work of our yard, including the root removal and hand digging some of the roots up, even the ones that had spread into our front yard, they installed bamboo barrier so it will never return, replaced all the dirt in our yard and seeded, fertilized, and strawed it; and they managed to do all this in a week. It is incredible to look out my window to an actual yard and not a bamboo forest. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone and will be calling them for any other yard work I need. They also beat the competitors pricing by a grand, and I am pretty sure they did not have as solid of a plan as Chuck, and they probably would've given up at some points in the job when it became more of an archeological dig and less of bamboo removal. Seriously these guys are the best!

I have nothing but praise for this business. We had a tree fall on our property, and within 30 minutes of calling for a price, they were at my house. They were a pleasure to work with in every way. It was amazing to observe the large crew who came out to cut the tree off my house. They were quite safe and well-mannered. They come highly recommended to anyone in need of tree services of any kind!

I had Columbia Tree and Lawn come out to take down a tree that was dropping branches on my yard (nearly hitting me) and was a danger to my house. They did a fantastic job. They were professional and polite, placed the wood that I will use as fire wood exactly as I instructed, and cleaned up the yard afterwards. They even cleaned the debris that they did not cause, my yard looks great! I am extremely satisfied with their work and would recommend them to anyone I know.

I've been using Chuck for 8 years to drop trees and grind stumps. He always comes out the Saturday right after we call to give a free estimate. He shows up with his crew on the appointed time and does exactly what he quotes to you. I find his prices to be fair for the work that he does. He's always on-site when the work is being done too. I've recommended him to friends of ours, and he's my first and only call when I need tree services. As a side note, he might be one of the funniest dudes I've ever met.

This was our first year using Columbia Tree & Lawn Services for the annual trimming of the trees in Walden's Landing, a 50-townhouse community in Long Reach. We used a competitive selection process and were very pleased with the expert tree knowledge reflected in the proposed statement of work and with the very reasonable fees. Work scheduling was flexible to ensure safety of residents' car in the adjacent parking lots. Private tree trimming was also done via direct contact/contract at good rates when scheduled with the community work. These are tall mature trees, some of which are so big that they should never have been planted here 35 years ago. All work was done with long-term tree health and appearance in mind and was done professionally and safely. Highly recommended. Dave Brown, President, Walden's Landing Community Association

Columbia Tree was recommended to me by a company repairing my deer fence. We called them and couldn't be happier that we did! Chuck came out and gave us a fair estimate, then showed up as promised and did an outstanding job. There was a lot of work to be done including removing several dead or dying trees and pruning other mature (ie large) ones. I was most impressed by how each member of his crew had specific tasks and went about his work efficiently. As they worked they cleaned up everything and before leaving cleaned our entire yard! I highly recommend them.

RE: Bamboo > Save yourself money, time, and frustration by calling Columbia Tree & Lawn Service to get rid of bamboo. Bamboo took over my neighbors backyard here in Bowie MD and it started coming into my yard. So I went online and had 8 or 9 vendors recommended by well-known internet websites call/email within a day or so. I had most of them come by. They talked a good game, their prices were suspiciously low, and not one of them had a plan to deal with the bamboo roots (called rhizomes). These roots can be 2 feet down and reach out 15 feet or more from the nearest stalk of bamboo (miss 1 root and it all grows back). So I gave up on the internet referrals and hired Chuck at CT&LS. His references checked out and he was the only guy who had actual working knowledge of bamboo. The really nice thing was that when the work was underway I wandered outside to look and Chuck took time to explain exactly what he was doing and how he was ferreting out the bamboo roots with his big digging machine. Only then did it dawn on me that if I hired one of the internet referrals I would have spent THOUSANDS and made the bamboo problem WORSE. It’s been a year and I’m overjoyed with the results. So I told Chuck to have any customer who is on the fence about hiring him or who thinks his price is too high to contact me so I can invite them to look at my backyard and then across the fence at the bamboo still growing in my neighbor’s yard (they got a “lower price” from some other company last year).

We had a great experience with Chuck and his team! They are very knowledgable about trees and did a great job of pruning 4 giant trees in our front yard. They also trimmed a bunch of smaller trees and graded some flower beds to help drain water away from our house. The crew and office staff was always very friendly. We would recommend Columbia Tree!

Columbia Tree & Lawn provided a detailed estimate and then did all the work promised. There was a small delay getting scheduled because they are very busy with limited office staff. But they do respond to messages and everyone I encountered was friendly and very professional. Their rates are relatively high, but I needed both tree service and some serious weeding for my neglected yard. Since they have experts for everything, I think it was well worth the cost. I will likely use them again.

If you have ever had a copse of bamboo in your yard then you may have an inkling of how desperate I felt. For those who don’t know - bamboo is an incredible plant. It is strong, incredibly resilient and grows overnight. It is incredibly hard to manage. Enter Chuck and his crew. I was so grateful to find him and I am so happy and relieved with the results, especially as winter looms. Chuck walked the land, came up with a plan and over the matter of a couple of weeks they executed. Even more I was able to trust him. He loves what he does and it’s evident in his work.

We used Chuck and his team for bamboo removal in our backyard, along with taking multiple trees down and ripping up flower beds around our house. We bought a house without knowing how invasive bamboo really is and we were so glad when we found Chuck. He talked us through how his team would remove the bamboo and we felt more at ease. Now we have a beautiful backyard thanks to Chuck, Brian, and co.

They were great! They came out for an estimate on some unexpected leaning trees. Initially, they said they wouldn't be able to put us on the schedule for a couple weeks, but when we expressed concern about how quickly the trees started leaning, they booked us in the schedule the next day. They were in and out in half a day.

Hello, this is my second time using Columbia Tree & Lawn Service and all I can say is WOW! First, I’d like to thank Chuck for the expert advice he gave me on how to tackle our large backyard project. He was very direct and honest about what needed to be done and what to prioritize. The first time they removed 3 problem trees in no time flat and they did this while I was at work. I came home to find a clean yard minus the 3 headaches I had. As of today, they are tackling a huge project consisting of over 5 enormous trees. I am having fun watching the speed and organization of the crew. Its hot and they are more than a third of the way through. Chuck these guys have more than earned whatever they stand to get paid, and I will definitely see you and the guys again soon to continue the next portion of our project. Lisa, you know I’m not going to leave you out of this. Folks, this lady made sure that we were able to budget properly, she offered payment plans that were actually doable! Thank you for that. Taking down large trees is an awfully expensive endeavor for most people and she made it realistic for us. Now for the part you all want to know, Yes, they are very affordable, and their quotes are more than respectable for the work that they do. So, should you use them? Duh, you should have already called them! This is my one and only stop for maintaining our lawn and tree care services from now on and should you utilize their services they will be yours as well. Again, I can’t say enough about the quality of their work. ---Signed Anthony “One Happy Customer” P.S Chuck and Lisa please don’t forget us after everyone finds out that you company is AWESOME! :0)

I don't write many reviews, only if I am very, very happy with the work or to warn people of very bad work. I just got a large amount of work done by Columbia tree and lawnservice. They did an exceptional job from start to finish. It's as if my lawn got a beautiful makeover. The owner Charles is onsite working with his very skilled crew. Charles or Chuck explained why they did work a certain way and he is happy to talk about any questions you have. Charles even shopped for a certain kind of tree later into the evening, he came back with a whole truck full of trees his customers wanted. Columbia tree & lawnservice is a breath of fresh air in this busy world. I will definitely call them again and be happy to do it. Very well run small company that take the time to please their customers.

A storm brought down one of our 50+ foot pines into our neighbors yard and, 24 hours later, David and his crew had made it disappear. This is the second time we’ve used Columbia Tree and Lawn and have been very happy each time. They do what they promise, don’t over charge and are very professional.

I had several dogwoods that were getting out of hand. As a teacher, I have little time to play phone tag with people. I left a message and my call was returned back to me within my time frame, which was appreciated. I scheduled a time for them to come while I was at work. When I came home my my trees were trimmed and beyond my expectations. They looked beautiful. Highly recommend.

Amazing service at a price that simply cannot be surpassed! These guys went above and beyond and quickly and properly cleaned the treed area in my backyard. The majority of businesses would have canceled on a day like today, but they even came in the rain! Thank you Columbia Tree & Lawn Service; I will certainly speak highly of and utilize your services again.Once again thank you so much!!!!!!!

We had a beloved tree that needed to be removed. The crew that came out werr very kind and knowledgable. They explained the steps they would be doing to remove our tree, and reassured me that it was the best choice. I had compared prices with other companies, and Chuck came in about the same. I went with this company because i like supporting local companies. Thank you again.

We had quite a bit of work done (tree and stump removal, landscaping, buried down spouts, etc.). Chuck and his team did a great job addressing all aspects of the project and worked with me to address any areas of concern. This is a hard working crew that takes their work seriously. Pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!

I recommend Columbia Tree & Lawn to everyone for their landscaping needs. They came out to trim my trees and they did a wonderful job. Their climber, Josh, is clearly very knowledgeable. I was in awe at how well he was able to maneuver the chainsaw up in the air given the position of the trees. It is no easy job that these guys are doing, but they do it well!

Chuck and his crew at Columbia Tree & Lawn Service have done 2 tree jobs for me this year. I couldn't be happier with the work these guys have done. They are professional, polite, hard working and made sure the jobs were completed to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Columbia Tree & Lawn Service, they will always be my go to for the services they provide. Thank you for another job well done!

I called Chuck in a panic after several large branches from an extremely overgrown Pinetree slammed into the roof right above where my son was sleeping. He quickly arrive to my house even in sanely fair estimate and within just a few hours the deathtrap pine tree has been taken down. His group worked so clean and so, did I mention it was freezing rain the entire time? I really hope my community continues to use chalk in the future as his work was exceptional and his customer service was even better!

Chuck and his crew did an amazing job clearing trees, brush and grinding over 20 stumps in our yard. They arrived on time, were very hard working and took care with all aspects of the job. They filled all the holes with topsoil, seeded and covered with straw. Would highly recommend using this local family run business.

This is a great company that provides excellent service. We had a lot of trees that needed to be removed and an old tree stump left by a previous company who said they could not remove it. Chuck and his team showed up early in the morning and got to work. When they were done, they cleaned the entire yard. The front of the house looked like nobody had even been there! Great job! I look forward to working with them again in the future and highly recommend them.

We have never been more pleased with ANY service we've received!! Chuck sat with us for a good amount of time (after a long day for him) during the estimate and kept us laughing. He promised my wife what I thought was an unrealistic time frame but he kept that promise and had our six trees (one very precariously leaning over our house) down AHEAD of schedule. Lisa was great to talk to on the phone and had the insurance paperwork to us in a timely manner and Chuck and his crew were as polite and "kid friendly" as they possibly could be. Chuck even took the time to hang a swing for the kids from one of the tall oaks and when they kids couldn't get on it, he brought a little stump over so they could use that to mount the swing. I say this with all sincerity, I feel like Chuck is now "part of the family." All of this and they TROUNCED the competition on the price (we had 6 estimates). My wife and I are both educators and both my grandfathers were self-employed and Columbia Tree and Lawn Service brings "old time values" to their business - friendly, courteous, reliable, and inexpensive. They have found a customer for life..and we will recommend them to everyone that needs tree and lawn service. Thanks "Uncle Chuck!" :-)

It's very seldom in life that you truly "get what you pay for", but we had #columbiatree&lawnservice here yesterday and when they were done, I couldn't find a twig or leaf that they left behind. I highly recommend Columbia Tree & Lawn Service to anyone needing their skillset!! It DID take over a month for them to get to me because they're in very high demand, BUT the wait was well worth it. I wish I had some BEFORE pics, but I (in my old age) forgot to take some. These guys are worth the wait AND the $$$!!! A few pics are posted on #Nextdoor app.

Our lot was totally overtaken by bamboo. Mr Chuck was the only co that we called who offered a complete removal plan and installation of a barrier. He had the equipment and staff to dig the bamboo up completely. He carried out everything in a efficient and timely manner. We were very happy with the result.

Yesterday: As always, Chuck and his crew delivers great work in a super impressive manner. Under the rain, and with stormy winds they came and completed all the items they came to work on: stumps' removal, retaining wall, patio fixes, fence fixes and all done in 1 day. Columbia Tree and Lawn Service has helped us 3 or 4 different times with trees and yard work, always in a very professional way and for very reasonable prices. We will be calling them back without hesitation for any other work we need in the future. Highly recommend. 2 years ago: They do an awesome job and give you very reasonable prices. Highly recommend!
