Montgomery County, MD Tree Trimming Services
Practicing good tree hygiene is the best way to protect your property and keep your trees strong. Tree trimming and tree pruning is essential for the health of your trees and your personal safety. Managing your trees will prevent limbs from damaging roofs and gutters, crowding and rubbing branches, and safety hazards. These services will also increase light and air penetration, allowing your trees to move and breathe more freely. Our tree trimming and pruning services are listed below:
- Crown cleaning: Removing dead, dying, diseased, crowded, or weakly attached branches from the crown of the tree.
- Crown thinning: Selectively removing branches. Thinning reduces wind resistance and helps prevent storm damage to your trees.
- Crown raising or elevating: Removing the lower branches from a tree. This provides clearance for roofs, gutters, buildings, vehicles, and walkways. Visibility is improved by elevating the tree crown, increasing the amount of light that filters through to your lawns and walkways below.
- Crown clearing: Eliminating problem branches that interfere with your property or surrounding property. This is important to the health of the tree and to the safety and security of your family and property.
- Crown reduction: Reducing the overall size of the tree and reshaping the crown.
- Wound assessment: We DO NOT dress wounds on trees. We allow trees to heal naturally as current research supports this method.

Emergency Tree Service in Montgomery County
When faced with an emergency tree removal situation, we will contact your insurance agent, explain the situation, get approval, and bill your insurance company directly if possible to avoid out-of-pocket costs. Below are four things to know about insurance-related guidelines when it comes to storm damage:
- Insurance policies typically cover all or part of the cost to remove trees or branches from your home or other structure/building.
- Insurance policies do not cover trees and branches that fall on lawns, driveways, or bushes.
- If your tree is healthy and its branches fall on a neighbor’s property during a storm, you are not responsible for the damage. The neighbor’s homeowner’s insurance will cover clean-up and repairs to their property.
- If your tree is dead and its branches fall on a neighbor’s property, you will be held responsible for the damages due to negligence. Protect your financial well-being by removing dead trees and dead branches.
Montgomery County Stump Removal Services
After a tree falls or is removed, the stump that remains can be unsightly and hazardous. Ed’s Tree Service removes stumps with minimum disruption to the surrounding yard. We aim to leave your yard beautiful and hazard-free.
It’s our environmentally friendly practice to let the resulting mulch replenish your soil once the stump has been removed. We have the right skills, machines, equipment, and expertise to remove your stump efficiently and effectively.
Tree Fertilization
Providing your trees with micronutrients is vital to avoiding malnourished trees. In populated areas, trees must contend with pollution and soil depletion over the course of their long lives. Fertilization can give them the boost they need to live long, healthy lives.
At Ed’s Tree Service, we utilize the Mauget Tree Injection Process. This liquid fertilizer is injected into the sap wood at the base of the tree. We use a Stemix micro-injector to deliver a mineral formula designed to stimulate growth of the tree foliage, trunk, and root system.
We drill a small hole every 6 inches around the base of the tree to insert the fertilizer capsules. Because the puncture wounds are tiny, the tree recovers quickly and the nutrients are efficiently absorbed into the tree’s sap stream and circulated throughout the tree. We recommend watering the tree when it is injected to help the process along.
