Hiring a tree care company that’s not licensed and insured is a risk many Maryland homeowners don’t realize they’re taking until something goes wrong. If a worker’s injured on your property or a tree is damaged during removal, an unlicensed or uninsured contractor can leave you responsible for costs that should’ve never been yours to cover.
Maryland law requires anyone performing tree care or removal for hire to hold a Licensed Tree Expert credential through the Department of Natural Resources, and reputable companies carry insurance to match. Not every company operating in the greater Baltimore area meets that standard. A-AAA Tree Service holds three Maryland Licensed Tree Expert licenses and maintains current insurance coverage, and both are easily verifiable.
Our credentials reflect a standard of accountability and expertise that not every tree service company meets. Maryland Licensed Tree Expert status is granted by the state’s Department of Natural Resources and requires demonstrated knowledge of tree biology, risk assessment, and safe work practices. Membership in the International Society of Arboriculture and the Maryland Arborist Association connects our teams to the latest research, industry standards, and professional development in arboriculture. Our BBB Accreditation and A+ rating, repeated Angie’s List Super Service Awards, and HomeAdvisor recognition reflect a consistent record of professionalism on the job and in every client interaction. These credentials are more than decorations; they’re the baseline we bring to every client when they hire A-AAA.
