Hometown Tree Experts cut six large trees and trim a big one in our backyard recently. They did an…read moreexcellent job. Their team work, expertise and efficiency in cutting down and trimming trees was evident in the high-quality work they did. Not only did they do excellent job in cutting and trimming, but they also left the area clean and tidy by clearing away all the cut branches and grinding the stumps perfectly. They also added top soil, seeds and straws. I highly recommend their services as they left me very impressed by their professionalism, great teamwork at all levels, and outstanding coordination, all at a reasonable cost, much less than other estimates. Our sincere thanks to all of them. Reza Ghasimi

Hometown unilaterally decided to trim a tree in my yard because they deemed it too close to my neighbor's shed...DESPITE my neighbor EXPLICITLY telling them not to. In order to trim said tree, they also trespassed on my property to access the tree. The result was a very ugly, stumpy, lopsided tree on my property. It was so bad that I had to have it removed completely. Hometown said they would do this for free...well guess what...they never showed up and I finally had to have it removed by someone else. Now trying to get them to remunerate me for the situation they created, and they are refusing to do so. They will not put me in contact with the owners, and are no longer responding to communications. I have a feeling this is going to end up in court. STAY AWAY - FIND ANOTHER PROVIDER!

Very pleased overall with their services. We had some serious tree damage caused by the downburst…read moreof the EF1 tornado that hit Howard County a few weeks ago. So happy with their work I'm going to give them one of my full on reviews. Estimates & Cost The damage was both near our house and further out on our property. Jeff quickly came out and surveyed everything and then did a bit of tree triage (treeage if you will, ha!!!) in determining what needed immediate attention and scheduling everything else. As for the cost of all of the work done it was beyond reasonable. Given the size of the trees and the timing I thought it would have been much more. Especially given the estimates we get from the randos who randomly ring our doorbell. Nope not falling for them, sticking with Services Unlimited from now on! Timing - aka Holiday Weekend All of this occurred right before Memorial Day weekend. Somehow all of my emergencies seem to happen on the eve of holiday weekends so I'm well versed in the various runarounds. Not here! Mother Nature struck and they were working and attentive as if it was a typical weekend. That alone is four stars in my book. They came out on Sunday morning over Memorial Day to take care of our higher priority damage. I was worried other parts of the tree could fall on the house as the wind was bad over the weekend. Their quick and professional work was greatly appreciated and gave me some peace of mind. Honestly, this stuff is scary. Triage - aka Treeage (sorry couldn't help it again) They were obviously super busy given that two tornadoes hit our area within a week. Thus they did all of our work in three separate segments over the course of about a week and a half. They had to deal with more pressing tree on house situations in the area yet they still managed to fit us in when they could. To anyone that has experienced the wrath of a large downed tree timing is critical especially when it comes to protecting healthy trees in close proximity. Employees Their employees are fantastic and have their system down to a science. On their second visit they dealt with a huge problematic tree that was just waiting to fall on our house. Watching how they did what they did made me anxious but it was also mind blowing. Starting to get carried away here but really they're all a great team I can't stress that enough. Overall If you've made it this far, how on earth have I written this much about tree removal? A bit out of my realm but I felt the need to share because they're just that good. My neighbors used one of the doorbell ringers on their tree and the comparison is laughable. It took them five hours to do less than what took these guys 50 minutes at my house in a much more professional manner. Please, please, please consult them for an estimate. Great work and great people. Thanks guys!

I was very impressed by Wilber and his team.

I reached out to Wilber and he responded immediately. He came out within a couple of days to inspect the trees, gave me some aditional advice on other trees that needed trimming, provided a very fair estimate, and was back in a week to complete the work. Trees were removed and trees were trimmed. You cannot tell that anyone was at our property except for the carefully ground out stump of the dying oak in our backyard. I highly recommend these folks.

Kevin came out, examined the tree, and worked up a plan to use a crane to remove the tree (in sections). He gave us an estimate which was quite reasonable. Weather forced one delay so we rescheduled. On the appointed day the crew showed up, promptly at the agreed-upon time. They were very careful about not damaging my wife's plants--or our house. The had the tree down in a couple of hours, and then spent a lot of time cleaning up sawdust and detritus after the job was done, both on my property and on my neighbor's. These guys were great: careful, competent, and concerned. I can't say enough about the fine job they did.

Thankfully the day arrived during the spring of 2022 when I saw the first-rate work Rock Creek Tree, Turf & Landscape completed on my neighbor's yard. I knew I found the company to help me with my heavy-duty landscaping conundrum. Working with Jimmy Lazas who visited my house twice was very easy. He took time to understand my priorities and qualified them with precision on paper. More importantly Jimmy is a great guy! He is super nice, he knows his trade, and he's got a can-do attitude. I am glad to have heeded Jimmy's advice to install a bamboo barrier to help keep neighbor's weeds roots from entering my newly restored garden. Yet it was the team of men who completed the work on my new pollinator's garden who deserve my praise. They were most kind, easy to work with and did considerable heavy lifting. On-site manager Kevin took time to hear of my concern while the job unfolded and was happy to make a slight adjustment. When all was said and done, the men working on my job cleaned up my backyard to perfection.
