Tree reviews in Glen Arm, Maryland

John, his son, and the entire crew did an excellent job over several days removing many old, tall, white pine trees from our property, several of which were leaning towards the home. We are repeat customers and would highly recommend whether you have one tree or 30. You'll find them to be reasonably priced and very efficient.

John and his crew did a fantastic job without our lawn. Very professional and conscientious!

We have been working with Centurion for many years. Our lot has had many 60’ and higher oak trees with up to 48” diameters that were diseased. Centurion has equipment that other tree specialists do not and knows how to use the equipment to cause the least disruption to other property areas. They are meticulous, leaving the property free of all debris. Centurion is also very good at assessing the health of a tree and helping to save a tree when possible. We cannot recommend Centurion highly enough. We totally enjoyed working with them.

Great team, great owners! Highly recommend!

Receptionist and owner were very nice and helpful. Will use them for any future work on my property!

John and Tim have done a few projects for us. They are always fair, honest and respectful.

I have been using Centurion for the last 20 years. Will not even consider another company. John and his crew are the best.

Debated if I even wanted to write a review but after a few days I decided that the whole experience just left a bad taste in my mouth.

On my initial call I there was a few trees on my property and wanted them "cut back" the lady at the office who answered the phone was nice and very informative. Told me someone will call me back to set up an appointment to come look at the trees.

The person who called was nice at first and told me he only does appointments from 12-3pm on Saturdays which is fine. But when I informed him I couldn't do this coming Saturday and would like to set up an appointment for Next Saturday his whole attitude changed. His responses got very rudely brief as he questioned why I wanted him to come over in the first place. He said he read that I wanted my trees "Cut back" on my file and that they do not do that because it is bad for the trees. I agreed and asked what services do they offer. He mentioned all their services from their website one of them being "Pruning & Trimming".
This is when I told him THAT is what I meant by having my trees cut back. After that he decided to ignore anything I said then cut me off from speaking saying "I'm sorry we don't do that, We don't do any trimming have a nice day and hung up"

I get people have bad days but this just seems very unprofessional. It felt like he blew me off for not knowing the proper terminology in saying "Cut-back" versus "Pruning/Trimming" If that's the case then I'm sorry for not being a professional arborist. I suggest calling another company that doesn't require you to brush up on all the arborist terms before they help.

We had a tree fall on another tree and we needed it to be cut down as soon as possible. John called me back the same day I left a message and was here within two days. They did a great job getting the tree down quickly and safely. We will definitely use them again.

Had a large oak overhanging wires and the house. Three other tree services wouldn’t touch it. One tried and failed. Centurion came in and did a great job safely. They have a very good relationship with BGE THE

Once again, John advised us about our Plum tree. We trust his knowledge and skill! He answers all of our questions with confidence. We always call Centurion Tree Experts for our tree needs.

A job others did not want to take!!
Centurion Tree took the "high risk" job and handled it like true professionals and at a fair price. Would highly recommend and will use again.
I also like that it is family owned and operated and you speak directly with the owners!

Centurion did a great job removing an enormous tulip poplar from a tricky spot in our back yard. We got several estimates and Centurion was the lowest by far. Highly recommend.

John & Tim Miley and crew did not disappoint, in fact they blew us away with expert & precision work on a nearly impossible tree removal situation. We have used their services in the past when trees were close to our former house, and they could remove them out and away from the house with the crane, but had much more land to manipulate... We have since moved to a property is on an extremely narrow lot, with houses and mature trees on either side, and no access from the back because of a body of water. The situation was a 100+ year old oak tree that was diseased and dying. Large branches would fall in any rain or wind; if the tree fell it would crush more than one house, and it could have killed someone. We have to work months on variety of ideas and quotes from other tree services, but nobody could offer the appropriate crane to do the job,
We had to deal with many other issues with power lines in the way, and needing to wait for power company to have a scheduled outage for our grid, then postponements because of weather- All through the process John kept me up to date and worked extremely well power company. FINALLY the day came, and we honestly have never seen anything like it! The crane base needed to be stabilized within *inches* of our house, then the arm of the crane up between the power lines and the house, then over and extended out along the other side to reach OVER our house to cut and lift sections for 7 hours over our house! Each section was quite frankly the size of a mature tree! With expert precision and proper equipment a massive tree was reduced to several truck loads of mulch, long timber and a couple more trucks to remove the two story/ 6 ft diameter trunk! Day two was removal of all of the portion above the 2 story trunk, day 2 was loading up the timber, and laboring over sections of the massive trunk to get them to manageable sizes to then be moved with a bobcat along a narrow passage along the side of our house and load into the trucks. I am not kidding when I say that once the massive trunk was on it's side, it was taller than the men working to saw through it!
The crew was pleasant, and worked so well together, especially being tested by a stressful situation. They had plenty of experience, strength and intelligence to do the job well.
Tree removal is a dangerous business, and one needs to make sure they are getting a reliable company with excellent insurance, as well as experienced workers with quality equipment. THANKFULLY our tree has been removed with no damage to our house (or neighbors' houses) and no injuries. It was an incredible feat, and thankfully behind us!

Over the last two days this week, we had Centurion Tree Experts remove three 70' tall Eastern White Pines, a 30' Juniper, and a 120' tall (54-inch DBH) Silver Maple, which also included grinding all the stumps out. We would absolutely recommend the owners, John Miley and his son Tim, for any and all tree removal jobs in my areas and the Maryland and Pennsylvania regions.
In every way, John, Tim and their crew exhibited incredible professional experience and courteousness. There was never any bad language, cussing, or displays of anger throughout the time they were here removing the trees and working to complete the job.
All the limbs were chipped up and removed from the property including the large trunks from all the trees, including raking up the leaves and small limbs that fell into the yard.
It was fascinating to watch John operate the large crane that is used to hold the upper portions of the trees as his son Tim cuts the top portion so it can be removed and placed on the ground.
Please excuse my lengthy recommendation, and I know that there are others that do identical work, but in the future there's no other firm that I would go to for more tree work because of the tremendous job they did!

John worked with my budget and gave me the best price to remove a large, dead Ash tree. He and his crew were prompt, professional, friendly, extremely competent and FAST. I recommend them HIGHLY and will definitely be calling them again! Thanks, John & Tim...

For any of your tree related needs, you've found the right company in Centurion Tree Experts. This crew is as professional as it gets. I've been amazed by their abilities and efficiency. They work hard and aren't just looking for the easy jobs, and to top it off they are responsive and respectful.

After assessing our very ill Plum tree, John treated the tree with some much needed nutrients and an overdue pruning. After another round of nutrients, our Plum tree came back with vibrant flowers and strong leaves. It looks beautiful again! Thanks to John and his Centurion tree experts, we again have a thriving Plum tree in our front yard!

I was looking for an arborist to inspect our trees and diagnose their condition as part of an estimate to treat our trees. Centurion charges $75 for that service even though their web site says free estimates. Their employee Destiny was friendly as she declined our business and wished me luck getting these services for my trees.

Not only did Centurion give me a good estimate, they responded quickly when I called to tell them that my rotten and already leaning tree, was leaning even more. Their crew is efficient and left our property very clean and neat. I highly recommend this company!

Centurion removed two large oak trees for me that were in dangerous positions. John and his team were very professional, skillfully taking down the trees and removing all the wood, brush, and debris left over from the job. I will definitely be calling them the next time I need more tree work done. Wish I could give them more than 5 stars!
