The subdivisions around Eldersburg and Sykesville were dropped into standing woods, which is what makes them pleasant to live in and what puts full-grown timber twenty feet from the house. Most of the work here is managing trees that were mature before the foundation was poured.
Every town we work in has its own quirks. Here's what shapes the job on your street.
Trees that had their roots cut or the grade changed during building can hold on for years and then decline quickly. Thinning crowns and early leaf drop on an otherwise healthy-looking tree are worth a look.
Where a rear lot line meets the woods, the exposed edge trees carry the wind load for everything behind them. Those are the ones to inspect before storm season, not the ones in the middle.
Closer to Liberty Reservoir the ground is steeper and wetter than it looks from the driveway. We plan equipment routes for that rather than churning a lawn to get to the back.
Trees we work on most here: Tulip poplar, red oak, Virginia pine, red maple
Hazardous, dead or in-the-way trees taken down in sections.
Crown reduction, deadwood removal and clearance off the roof.
24/7 response for fallen trees, hangers and blocked access.
Stumps ground out and lots cleared, cleaned up properly.
"The One Choice crew has cleaned up 4 uprooted trees on our property after July storms. They are quick, thorough and professional. I highly recommend them them! On my speed dial!"
