I would highly recommend this company. Two 75-foot trees cut down in less than 8 hours was mind blowing to me. If you needed a definition in the dictionary for teamwork you would find this company there!

I ran into a tree removal emergency and needed help ASAP. Not only was Rodney able to accommodate my timeline, but he was thorough and thoughtful in explaining the process as this was my first time needing tree removal ... I’d highly recommend Empire Tree.

Empire Tree 🌲 far exceeded our expectations! We were impressed by their professional tree debris removal efforts following the record-breaking winter snowstorm of two weeks prior. Prompt, courteous and thorough service at a fair price are Empire Tree's trademarks.

I’m so glad I called this company! They did exactly as we asked - great price! They also cleaned up nicely too! I will always recommend this company. We had an old oak tree trimmed, plus 6 stumps grinded. They did this in a couple hours! Called Wednesday, completed the work Friday evening.

At Empire Tree Services, we believe in helping customers make informed decisions:
Yes, if your property is in the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area (within 1,000 feet of tidal waters or wetlands), a permit is required before removing any tree. Counties like Charles, Calvert, and St. Mary’s strictly enforce these rules, and replacement planting is often required. Outside of the Critical Area, most private tree removals don’t need a permit, but it’s always best to confirm with your county first.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and can often be on-site the same day. Our crews move fast to restore safety and clear dangerous debris.
The dormant season (late fall through winter) is the ideal time to prune for health and growth. Safety-related pruning can be done at any time of year.
Stump grinding removes the visible stump and some of the root system below ground, leaving your yard level and ready for replanting. Full removal is more invasive and usually only necessary for major excavation.
Yes, we run seasonal promotions such as winter pruning discounts and pre-storm season specials. We also offer savings for first-time customers and military families.
