Reviews of local pros in La Plata, Maryland

Outstanding experience from start to finish. Not only were their prices and service excellent, but they also took the time to explain why our trees had died and how to prevent future issues. They worked carefully and made sure everything was removed safely and effectively. Highly recommend giving them a call!

Tim and Dave came on time every day eager to work! It was clearly obvious that they enjoy all aspects of working with trees. Such pleasant people, and they were a joy to work with. So glad we found them, and their prices were more than fair. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

Great Company! Very helpful

These guys work fast and are very professional.

I really enjoyed knowing Wes love for trees would shine in his work.

Excellent job. Clean up was perfect.

Fast, excellent service, reasonably priced! Wes responded quickly to my request for an estimate for storm damage clean-up and was at my home, ready to work, the next day! He was polite and professional, showed up on time, and not only cleared and removed the large fallen branches, he cleaned up the minor debris and left my property looking like the storm never happened. Will definitely keep him in my contacts for future jobs!

Great experience! Wes removed a huge, dead oak from our backyard. We wanted to remove it to avoid the chance of it falling onto our house during a storm. Wes did a great job! He worked quickly and had the tree fall exactly where we asked him to place it. Very quick and efficient. We'd shopped around and spoken with three or four other companies--this was BY FAR the best value.

The owner of this company, Wes Valcarcel, is a certified arborist and his knowledge and expertise is incredible! He removed six huge trees that were growing right behind my house and deck, and his price was much, much less than all six of the other companies I had gotten estimates from before contacting Wes. He was able to offer some unique, but simple, tree removal methods to keep the cost down , which none of the other companies had even suggested! He also had some great equipment that allowed him to efficiently and easily remove some huge limbs way up high on some other trees all around my yard. Removing those trees and limbs made such a huge positive difference— now we can enjoy our deck -it stays so much cleaner without the trees that were dropping stuff constantly ( almost all year round) all over it! I wish we had done this years ago! I highly recommend Wes Valcarcel’s affirdable tree removal!
He’s also very nice to deal with too!!

Affordable Tree Removal Services l highly recommend this company, they are very knowledgeable, reliable and professional, they clean up after the work was done, and I am completely satisfied with their work, and their customer service is excellent.

Wes is thorough and super knowledgeable. Absolutely trust him 100% with not just tree removal but the overall lawn/ecosystem of our yard!

Have dealt with Wes on a bunch of different occasions. He is fantastic. He is a problem solver and can get outside of the box if needed. He is super professional and will get the job done in the way you need.

If we ever need additional tree work in the future, Affordable is who we will contact.

When someone in my Southern Maryland circle talks to me about needing Tree Work performed, Affordable Tree Removal is who I have always referred them to.

We recently had our back patio redone by The Outdoor Living Company, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. The team was incredibly professional, hardworking, and efficient—they completed the project quickly without ever sacrificing quality.

What really stood out was how well they listened. They were patient, attentive to every detail, and made sure our vision was fully understood and brought to life. Throughout the process, they maintained a calm, respectful presence and kept the workspace clean and organized each day.

Even when a small issue came up, they addressed it right away with no hesitation and made it right. That level of accountability and care is rare and truly appreciated.

The finished patio looks absolutely beautiful, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend The Outdoor Living Company to anyone looking for high-quality work and a team you can trust.

Kevin, Theo and Wuitman did an outstanding job on the front of our home lighting project. They professionally installed two Colorscaping transformers, six pathway tiki lights, eleven accent lights (9 accent home and 2 accent crepe myrtle) and 2 step lights. All lights are Colorscaping with brilliant colors changing with ease! The project went very smooth and every light is well positioned to enhance our home with beautiful colors.
My wife and I are extremely happy with The Outdoor Living Company Team! And we highly recommend them. They are our go to company for all of our outdoor projects.
Sincerely,
Michael and Revonna

We used Kevin and his team to create a landscaping design in our backyard. While we are pretty DIY with plants, we really lack the creativity to come up with elegant landscape designs from scratch.

Kevin came to do a site visit and took measurements, talked with us, and presented a great landscaping design and plant list. He accounted for varying heights of the plants, staggered bloom times, and beautiful color combinations. He and his team took some very loose input we had and turned it into a beautiful design that really excited us. They also provided multiple 3D renderings with different angles and different lighting. Kevin also met with us virtually a second time to go through any revisions we wanted to the initial design. We plan to work with them again for some landscaping design for the front yard. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Had a great experience with Kirk and Lawn Barber; would definitely hire again. Had to do some erosion control and leveling in my garden and then add some decorative elements. Kirk and team did an excellent job with installation but also helped with design, which made the end product better than imagined. They were even thoughtful on the details, like taking steps to ensure that the string light posts matched my garden beds. Great all around service!

“Huge thanks to Kirk’s team for the amazing work they did paving the area in front of my shed! They were professional, efficient and the finished product looks fantastic. This was an easy 5 star rating. Highly recommend!”
