I watched them remove a tree from my neighbor's roof after a big storm. I was very impressed by how thorough, careful, and efficient they were!

Their trucks do not have legal exhaust setups so they dump black smoke through the neighborhood when they drive by.
Edit - There is no legal exhaust that emits black smoke, diesel or not. Fix your trucks you cut-corner polluter.

Excel Tree Experts are exactly what their name says. They are regularly relied on and contracted by local municipal and state Urban Forestry Divisions (UFD) to carry out efficient, knowledgable trimming of healthy trees, and removal of hazardous and damaged trees in public space. They know their business well enough to meet the very stringent DC urban forestry regulations. For readers that are unfamiliar, City inspectors are everywhere, every day. The penalties for permit violations of improper tree work or public space violations in DC are serious. To avoid these penalties, successful contractors must be attentive and exact in how they operate within regulations. Excel is expert in maintaining compliance, for themselves, and for private residential or business owners who hire them. Its win-win-win when the rules are followed.
I hired them to remove two (2) hazardous trees: old/dead and permitted for removal by DC's UFD, as well as one (1) giant 88" circumference pine tree (fee permitted for removal) and two (2) 42" circumference unwanted/nuisance trees.
Once I proved the permits were complete, they also check with the city themselves, they scheduled the job for just over a week later. They arrived exactly on time for job survey, setup and started work at the permitted time. Their machines and manual work was highly coordinated and efficient. The team of about seven (7) were highly skilled professionals: coordinating bucket truck for access, crane for removal, ground crew for segmentation and loading to the logging truck, and chippers and forestry labor to make sure clean up happened as the branches fell. Great teamwork. No nonsense.
The price I paid was reasonable for the degree of expertise and the extraordinary efficiency that the work was executed. This is dangerous and expertly skillful work. I've done a lot of tree work and root work, yard labor, etc. myself. Excel Tree Experts were very impressive and effective, indeed.
My point of contact was Ephraim for our contract. A real gentleman, congenial and easy going. No games, no hidden surprises. The Excel office staff with whom I communicated by email were courteous and efficient. Everything right on time and without fuss. Excellent.
I 100% recommend Excel Tree Experts for major tree work. Thanks for reading.
